Chapter 42 Favor
Soon Pei Yibai hung up the phone and walked towards her, Liang Qian also got up at this time, she thought she needed to say something: remember the passion that had just come to an abrupt end, or regret the hearty breakfast she couldn't enjoy.
But before her thoughts came into words, Pei Yibai was the first to speak: "Give me the key to your house." β
Liang Qian was stunned: "Huh? β
"You don't have time to carry your luggage, I'll let someone do it for you, you just come over at night."
His words were so simple and direct that they could not be rejected - not to mention that Liang Qian had no intention of refusing, so when Pei Yibai went directly to her bag to turn over the key, Liang Qian just looked at Quan in silence and acquiesced.
Liang Qian's appearance when he returned to the mansion really shocked Aunt Liang.
When did the second lady of the Liang family return to the mansion, she didn't have a straight face and didn't smile at all.
This time, I actually entered the door with a faint smile.
Aunt Liang was very puzzled by this, but she didn't dare to ask the reason.
And Liang Qian was shocked by others at the same time, but also shocked by others:
Liang Ning and ...... Secretary Zhou came back for lunch together.
This situation was playing out in front of his eyes, and Liang Qian couldn't help but look at Secretary Zhou with an inquiring gaze: "You ......"
Liang Qian tried hard to consider the wording: "Reconciled as before?" Are you friends again, or are you going one step further? β
It seems that none of these words can accurately describe the chaotic relationship between Liang Ning and Secretary Zhou.
So I had to be silent.
Secretary Zhou just smiled at Liang Qian, and didn't seem to know how to explain.
In this way, everyone ushered in lunch time with their own questions.
Liang Qian sat on one side with his grandmother, Liang Ning and Liang Mingyi sat on the other side, his complexion was not good, but he was a rare affinity for Liang Qian, seeing Liang Qian sitting there looking at his watch impatiently, he explained to her for the first time: "Wait, there is a guest who has not arrived." β
Liang paused and looked up at Liang Mingyi, with a hint of incredulity in his eyes.
Liang Ning and Secretary Zhou on the opposite side also seemed to be quite surprised by the word "guest".
Liang Qian hadn't spoken to Liang Mingyi in a peaceful manner for a long time, and he really didn't know how to speak for a while, but fortunately, Liang Ning, who was sitting opposite her, quickly asked for her: "Dad, who do you invite to the house for dinner?" β
As soon as Liang Ning's voice fell, before he could get Liang Mingyi's answer, he heard footsteps not far away-
There was also a high-spirited apology: "Sorry, I'm late." β
A string in Liang Qian's brain was plucked like this.
In the three seconds that froze, Liang Qian saw his grandmother's secretive smile, saw Liang Mingyi's amiable appearance, and naturally saw Liang Ning's expression that was even more shocked than her.
Only then did she resign herself to following the prestige.
I saw that the well-dressed Huo Liuyin was led by Aunt Liang to the dining table, and bowed his head apologetically to the others present.
Liang Qian watched his grandmother give up her position to Huo Liuyin, and the feeling in his heart at the moment was really indescribable.
Huo Liuyin didn't refuse, nodded and smiled at Mrs. Liang, sat beside Liang Qian generously, and then smiled at Liang Qian.
In contrast, Liang Qian's already ugly face was contrasted with even more gloomy.
Liang Mingyi immediately instructed Aunt Liang, "Let's eat." He also said to Huo Liuyin, "It's all home-cooked food, I don't know if it suits your appetite." β
Huo Liuyin still smiled like that: "I don't have anything to taboo about." β
This Huo Dashao has an excellent grasp of the degree between enthusiasm and alienation, and everyone at the table is happy, Liang Qian endured the overturning of the river and the sea in his heart, and cooperated with the chopsticks and ate a few bites, but the posture was still a little reluctant.
Grandma kept glancing at Liang Qian, and after being completely ignored by Liang Qian several times, she simply bumped Liang Qian with her elbow: "You are the one here who has the most contact with Liuyin, why are you not saying a word now?" β
Liang Qian looked up at his grandmother, thought about it, but still held back his words, picked up a piece of braised boy and put it into the grandmother's bowl, and the donkey said to the horse's mouth: "Grandma, you eat more." β
Mrs. Liang was so choked by her granddaughter's behavior that she didn't know what to say, Liang Qian was clean, lowered her head again, and tried to ignore it.
Liang Mingyi's voice sounded at the right time, disturbing her purity: "Liuyin, it turns out that you also like West Lake vinegar fish?" This is our family's favorite dish. β
Huo Liuyin was about to stretch out his chopsticks for the third time towards the plate of West Lake vinegar fish at this time, and when he heard this, he put the chopsticks aside slightly: "Yes......"
As soon as the words came out, they were interrupted by Liang Qian-
She put her chopsticks off with a "snap". The sound was loud and startled a table of people. Everyone looked at Liang Qian and got up inexplicably: "I'm full." β
Liang Qian walked around the dining table and directly towards the stairs, and behind him was Liang Mingyi's angry voice: "Liang Qian! β
Liang Qian was not only not stopped, but walked faster.
went upstairs and returned to his room, slammed the door, threw himself into the sofa, pulled the pillow, and clung to it to vent his anger.
In fact, when I calmed down and thought about it, Liang Qian also regretted it a little. She can obviously give everyone a step down, and handle things well without putting her posture so ugly, in this regard, she admires Liang Ning 100%. And she......
After all, she is still the one who acts arbitrarily and can't control her emotions-
Just as Liang Qian leaned her head back on the sofa and made self-repentance, her door was pushed open.
Liang Qian immediately sat up straight.
It's a pity that I saw Liang Ning as soon as I looked up.
Liang Qian naturally leaned back lazily back on the sofa. Liang Ning's purpose for coming upstairs is nothing more than those few, Liang Qian has long been used to it-
Sure enough, as soon as Liang Ning sat down on the single sofa on the other side, he spoke: "Didn't you always say that I played with men in applause?" I just realized today that I'm far worse than you. β
"Passing the prize."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After a long time of not being able to wait for Liang Ning's bitter words, Liang Qian really didn't get used to it, and finally opened his eyes and looked at her: "You won't come upstairs just to praise me, right?" β
"I told my dad to come up and persuade you."
Liang Qian immediately sneered: "I guessed ......"
Maybe she is the one who knows Liang Ning in the world......
Liang Qian didn't know whether to cry or laugh in this regard. But obviously, Liang Ning couldn't guess the current Liang Qian: "I don't understand, what did Pei Yibai and Huo Liuyin like about you?" β
Liang Qian was stunned by the question.
She also thought about it, but also had no conclusion: "It's like I haven't figured it out all along, why Secretary Zhou is so desperate for you." β
"Secretary Zhou?" Liang Ning finally found some high-spiritedness, "He ......"
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Qian, whose patience had run out: "Do you have time to worry about men's problems with me now?" Shouldn't we focus on the mess of Zhengyuan? β
Liang Qian was very sure that Zhengyuan was now Liang Ning's death hole, and as soon as his voice fell, his face changed.
It's time for this pointless conversation to be over completely......
Liang Qian was full of anticipation, wanting to see Liang Ning get up and leave. Unexpectedly, she didn't have the slightest hint of leaving: she leaned on the handrail faintly: "I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it." β
When he said this, Liang Ning's expression was very intriguing: a trace of hope, a trace of urgency, a trace of anxiety, and a trace of confidence......
Liang Qian didn't have time to savor the deep meaning behind this complicated expression, and she couldn't help but give the order to evict the guest.
Liang Ning changed the topic by himself: "You still worry about yourself, grandma knows that it is useless to pin her hopes on you, and she already wants to find a good buyer to get rid of you, it's really ......."
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door. There were two shrewd women sitting in the room, naturally they didn't let go, Liang Ning was silent at the moment, and Liang Qian immediately shouted: "Who? β
The door of the concealed room opened.
The first thing Liang Qian saw was the hand held on the doorknob, and the double-stacked sleeves of the French shirt and the delicate cufflinks on the top looked familiar, reminding Liang Qian who the outsider was.
Sure enough, the figure who walked into the room later was Huo Liuyin.
"Sorry to interruptβ"
Huo Liuyin still has that thick and thin appearance, even if such a man really eavesdrops, maybe he can't be popular, not to mention that this person still has an identity that can't be offended, Liang Ning immediately laughed: "Why did Mr. Huo come up?" β
"Bring some after-dinner fruit to the ladies."
Without waiting for Liang Qian's invitation, Huo Liuyin had already put the small fruit bowl he was holding on the coffee table, turned around and sat down next to Liang Qian.
Liang Qian's resistance was all written on his face, but Huo Liuyin was unmoved, and said solemnly: "I think it is necessary for us to talk about it alone." β
ββ¦β¦β
Liang Qian didn't have any reaction to this, and Liang Ning had already gotten up very politely: "Then you talk, I'll go out first." β
walked to the door, and did not forget to remind Liang Qian as a sister: "Liang Qian, how can you say that Mr. Huo is also a guest, don't be too willful." β
Liang Qian didn't even bother to pull the corners of his mouth......
The sound of the door closing.
There were only two people left in the room, and no one was in a hurry to speak first.
Until Huo Liuyin picked a piece of apple with a small fork and sent it to her-
Liang Qian looked at the apple, and then at him, with an obvious look of resistance: "How much have you heard?" β
"Not much." Huo Liuyin saw that she didn't move, so he directly returned the apple to his mouth, and said while chewing, "But it's not a lot." β
"How did Huo Dashao learn to eavesdrop on this trick?"
"You think if I didn't want to, you would find out so easily?"
Liang Qian was stunned by his rhetorical question, and could only listen to him continue to explain: "I listened to your tone outside the door, I guess I don't want to talk to her anymore, I chose to make some noise at this time, let her know each other and leave, which can be regarded as a small favor for you." β
Liang Qian didn't have time to distinguish the truth of these remarks, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly said: "If you really plan to help me, draw a line with our family." β
Huo Liuyin may have never seen someone begging for mercy with such a strong attitude, and smiled a little ridiculously: "Reason." β
"To stay away from the Liang family is to stay away from trouble."
Compared with her nervousness, Huo Liuyin became more and more comfortable, and ate a piece of cantaloupe before saying slowly: "It's just right, I'm the best at solving troubles." β
"You don't really like me, do you?"
She frowned and looked at Huo Liuyin and smiled: "It seems that you and your sister have the same doubts." β
After Liang Qian heard this, his brows locked deeper.
When he said this, didn't it mean that he heard Liang Ning's sentence "I don't understand, what did Pei Yibai and Huo Liuyin like about you"?
She was now finally beginning to wonder how much this man had heard about her conversation with Liang Ning.
In Liang Qian's silence, Huo Liu said eloquently: "You shouldn't know, in fact, my father also has an illegitimate child. β
"Tell me what you're doing here."
"Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me first."
Liang Qianqian closed his voice knowingly, pouted and motioned for him to continue.
"Back then, although my father was strong, my mother was even stronger, as long as my half-brother dared to step into the country for half a step, then he would never get a penny of inheritance. So I had to hide abroad obediently and not come to disturb my purity. β
He should have finished speaking, but Liang Qian-"You don't pity me and want to be a savior for me, right?" β
Far from angering Huo Liuyin, her sneering look made him smile even more kindly: "This is just one of the reasons why I'm interested in you. It's more ......"
Liang Qian was so anxious that he was going to die, but he wanted to pretend not to be interested, until he truthfully recruited himself: "I'm very curious, what kind of woman would win Pei Yibai's favor." β
The answer to this ......
