196: At the mercy of others
Chu Lie's arriving figure swept over the streets of the second circle, attracting the attention of Su Yu, who was squatting on the side of the street. She saw Lie's figure clearly, hurriedly stood up, and ran in the direction of the last circle.
She can't help, and once she helps, she will have an unclear entanglement with Chu Lie. I just said yesterday that I drew a clear line, how can I regret it today?
Chu Lie arrived at the second circle of the first building, Xue Xiangyu and Yao Han had already arrived, Yao Han sat in the main seat, Zhang Jian sat first on Yao Han's left, Xue Xiangyu sat first on Yao Han's right, and Chu Lie sat next to Xue Xiangyu.
The people invited to the reception banquet were all the major families in Area C, and there was nothing to do with the consuls general of the ministries. The roster of banquet personnel was drawn up by Zhang Jian, and the people he was looking for must be people from his camp.
The banquet never started, and Zhang Yin was delayed. Zhang Fan sat beside Zhang Jian and glared at him with a glance. Chu Lie waited from the moment he arrived until now, always keeping his head down, not saying a word, and not wanting to look at anyone.
Yao Han saw him coming alone, seeing that he was in such a bad mood, he was rejected by the person he liked.
Xue Xiangyu saw that he was in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to comfort his brother Lie. He rarely saw Chu Lie's languishing appearance, and in his impression, almost all of them were Chu Lie's appearance of coming back from the border in high spirits, and Chu Lie's irritable appearance against others.
He suddenly became docile and lifeless, which made it difficult for Xue Xiangyu to accept.
The banquet was placed in the garden of the second circle, and there was still a little cold air in the air. Zhang Yin was late, pulled open the seat next to Chu Lie, and sat down.
Seeing Chu Lie's pink hair and seeing this face that he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhang Yin no longer resisted Abba's arrangement. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, just look at it.
In front of everyone, Zhang Yin reached out to hold Chu Lie's hand that was placed on his lap at will. When Xue Xiangyu saw this situation, his eyes almost popped out, if it had been before, Zhang Yin would have been scolded by his brother Lie to the point of blood.
Today's Chu Lie is indifferent, thinking of a soulless puppet at the mercy of others.
Zhang Yin held Chu Lie's big hand, his fingertips scratched in Chu Lie's palm, he frowned, and still didn't pay attention to Zhang Yin. Zhang Yin pursed his lips and smiled, Chu Lie's hand was really broad.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian nodded with satisfaction. In front of him, Chu Lie didn't have to give in obediently.
Seeing this, Xue Xiangyu threw a look at Yao Han for help. Although Yao Han usually likes to make jokes about him, he never thought that Chu Lie would really marry Zhang Yin. As Chu Lie's eldest brother, he wants to strive for the greatest happiness for Chu Lie as much as possible.
But now, Chu Lie is like a wooden man.
Chu Lie didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he know when Zhang Jian announced the start of the banquet, let alone when Zhang Jian raised his wine glass and stood up from his position.
It wasn't until Chu Lie heard Zhang Jian's words: "I called everyone here today to announce something." ”
Chu Lie came back to his senses and found Zhang Yin leaning on his shoulder, holding his own hand. Disgusted, he shook off Zhang Yin's hand and pushed her head away.
When Zhang Jian saw this situation, the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought that Chu Lie was silent, and he didn't object to Zhang Yin leaning his head on him because he had compromised.
It turned out that Chu Lie had endured it for so long, just to deliberately save his face when he was talking about business.
Zhang Jian sneered, and did not intend to stop his behavior: "Today is not only the reception banquet of Chief Chu, but also the engagement banquet of Chief Chu and the little girl Ayin, Zhang would like to thank everyone for coming to cheer." ”
Chu Lie slapped the table and got up, his face was gloomy and terrifying: "I want to get engaged, why don't I know as a party?" ”
"Didn't Chief Chu acquiesce just now?" Zhang Jianpi didn't smile.
"Default?" Chu Lie sneered: "Didn't you advertise everywhere that you were going to marry me the day after I came back?" How did it turn into an engagement party? ”
Zhang Jian's hand holding the wine glass froze in the air, and said sarcastically: "Chief Chu, shouldn't you get engaged before getting married?" ”
"Dignified Commander of Area C, can you say such shameless words?" Chu Lie glanced at Zhang Jian and looked back at Zhang Yin: "You want to marry me so much?" Do you know shame? Have you ever wondered how I'm going to face you with a wrinkled face decades from now? ”
"You, you ......" Zhang Yin looked at Chu Lie's big and round eyes, it should have been cute, why did it become so sharp on Chu Lie. This undisguised disgust finally made Zhang Yin cry.
Big tears slipped from his eyes, but he didn't see Chu Lie have the slightest pity.
"Chu Lie, don't go too far." Zhang Fan got up abruptly and looked around at the people around him: "These people are all our people, unless you don't want to mix in Area C." Border chief, dare to make a mistake in front of my father? ”
Xue Xiangyu looked at Chu Lie, who scolded Zhang Yin and cried, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, his brother Lie came back.
Yao Han looked at Chu Lie, and then at Zhang Jian, who was caught in the middle, in a dilemma. He didn't want his brother to be wronged, and he was afraid that the major forces in Zhang Jian's joint camp would give him small shoes.
"I really don't want to be here anymore." Chu Lie said fearlessly: "Why do you think you can suppress me, who gave you confidence?" ”
"Chu Lie." Zhang Jian said forbearantly: "Don't make it difficult for your eldest brother." ”
"Don't use my big brother to press me." Chu Lie stared at Zhang Jian fiercely: "From the beginning, it was your baby daughter who pestered me with a dead face. You support her in doing this, and what do you want to do with me? ”
"Chu Lie." Zhang Jian continued to forbear: "Is it wrong for my daughter to love you?" You like rich women, doesn't she just match your requirements? She has reached the age of talking about marriage, is it wrong to choose you? Since you don't have someone you like, why can't you try to accept her? ”
Chu Lie choked, he had someone he liked, but that person didn't like him. If she were to say her name here today, it would only bring her endless trouble.
The person in his heart is lying on the bed in the dormitory of the border camp at the moment. Turning over and over, I can't sleep. Su Yu thought that after staying up all night, he should be able to fall asleep quickly.
The image of Chu Lie passing in front of her kept lingering in her mind, Su Yu pulled the quilt and turned over, feeling unbearably anxious. I turned over again and found that I still couldn't calm down.
"Annoying." Su Yu lifted the quilt and roared.
Put on his coat and shoes and socks, asked the general leader of the special training department about Chu Lie's location, and ran towards the direction of the second circle and one building with all his strength.
The farce of the second circle and one building continued, and everyone present looked at Chu Lie who was speechless with contempt.
After a while, Chu Lie spoke: "Commander Zhang, if you want to ask me for something, you can say it directly." Maybe I'll help you for the sake of you being the commander of Area C. ”
"yes, there's something to discuss." Yao Han interjected.
"Chu Lie." Zhang Jian saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and he had a headache.
Chu Lie suddenly laughed, looked up and glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Jian: "Hehe, don't act, I want to vomit when I see it." ”
"What am I playing?"
"You don't have to give up until I expose you for what you really are, right?" Chu Lie hooked the corner of his mouth on the right side, and said with a sneer: "I satisfy you." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Jian to speak, Chu Lie continued: "If you want me to marry Zhang Yin, you just want to take the opportunity to swallow the troops in my hands and completely turn my eldest brother's title of leader into an empty title. ”
"You ......" Zhang Jian didn't expect Chu Lie to guess this.
"Anyway, I married Zhang Yin, so I have to stand on the Zhang family's side no matter what. When the time comes, I don't have any reason to resist, do I? Chu Lie smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Under the banner of a family, do whatever you want, am I right?" ”
"Chu Lie." Zhang Jian was furious: "Today's marriage, you must decide." ”
"What if I'm unsure?"
"Let's see if you can get out of the second circle." Zhang Jian said fiercely: "Do you think that there are no guards around here, so there are no troops around here?" As long as I give an order, you will not be able to fly. Can the Immortals dodge the strafing of countless bullets? ”
Chu Lie put his hand in his trouser pocket, his brows furrowed slightly.
"The Immortals can come back from the dead, right? What if I burned your corpses? Zhang Jian laughed proudly.
The atmosphere on the wine table dropped to freezing, and no one noticed the woman who suddenly appeared in the garden, she was about to raise her feet and step forward, but Yao Han suddenly slapped the table.
"Zhang Jian, don't go too far. Do you know what Chu Lie's identity is, and he dares to say such self-defeating words? ”
"Can't help yourself?" Zhang Jian pointed to the tip of his nose and said funny: "I don't think I can do it?" ”
"Chu Lie is the young master of the Chu family in Area L, just with you being the commander of Area C, you can shake his position? His sister is the commander of Area L, the person most valued by Lan An, do you want to completely cut off trade with Area L? ”
When the people present heard this, they were slightly stunned. Chu Lie's originally calm heart was like being thrown into a boulder, setting off a high wave and submerging Chu Lie.
Yao Han said that he was the little young master of the Chu family. Chu Fei said that he was her own brother who had lost her memory. Xiao He said that he was his brother, and even Lan An ......
"Yao Han, don't think that you are nonsense, we will believe it, he just has the same surname as the commander of Area L." Zhang Jianjian believed Yao Han's nonsense, and he has been in power for so many years in vain.
Zhang Yin was so frightened by Yao Han's words that he was silent, and he stopped crying, wiped away his tears and looked at the tall figure standing in his position.
Although Zhang Fan didn't believe it was true, he still sat down stupidly.
Su Yu, who was outside the wine table, paused, and she arrived here from the time Chu Lie exposed Zhang Jian's true face. But at the wine table, no one noticed her appearance.
After listening to what they said a lot, Su Yu understood that Chu Lie's situation in Area C was not very good. Yao Han said that he was the little young master of the Chu family in District L, which not only shocked everyone present, but also shocked her.
The farce at the wine table continued, and no one believed that Yao Han's words were true, but Chu Lie believed it. At this point, he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.
