Chapter 123: Making Up for Regrets

Rong Chen felt her deliberate toughness, so he said straight to the point.

"Zheng Hengzhi's birthday banquet on the 8th of next month, will Qiao Tiannan take you there?"

It turned out that this was his purpose, but Qiao Yimu didn't know why, "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Rong Chen said with a smile: "I naturally have my reasons, will he take you there?" ”

Qiao Yimu only smiled bitterly, "I am an illegitimate daughter who is not favored, an illegitimate daughter who keeps smearing the Qiao family, do you think my father will take me to such an important occasion?" I don't deserve it. ”

"I'm sorry, I was the victim." A touch of distress flashed on Rong Chen's face, after so many years, the two have been separated and reunited, no matter how big the storm is, the two have not been broken up, even if it ended in a breakup, he still regards her as his own woman, the only woman.

"You don't have to be pretty, you don't interfere with my life, thank God."

Rong Chen looked at her deeply, and invited her with sincerity: "Since you don't have to attend the birthday banquet that day, then come with me." ”

Qiao Yimu couldn't guess what he was thinking, "Rong Chen, where did you get the confidence that I will go with you again?" I've missed it once and won't miss it again. ”

"You misunderstood, I didn't say I was going to take you away from home, I just wanted to invite you to watch the fireworks display together, I heard that the vice president's birthday banquet will set off fireworks, all of them are imported from abroad, and the scale is unprecedented, I know there is a place suitable for watching, I don't know if you are interested."

At the end, he added, "I remember you mentioned it to me before, but I never got your wish, and it just so happens that there is now, and this is just an ordinary date, a date between ordinary friends." ”

Qiao Yimu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but be moved, aside from his non-farewell in the later period, he was actually good to her, almost responsive.

It was in Los Angeles, USA, on Christmas Eve, and the opera company posted an announcement that there would be a fireworks festival on Christmas Day, and they had made an appointment to come here to see it.

However, just half an hour before the fireworks display was about to start, Rong Chen suddenly received a phone call, left her behind, and left.

This was the first and only time that Rong Chen said goodbye without saying goodbye, and in the next two months, he seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news at all.

When he reappeared, there was no explanation, no enthusiasm, not even humanity.

He began to be cold and violent to her, and the two went from being intimate to having nothing to say, and finally Qiao Yimu couldn't stand this situation and broke up.

There were no surprises, Rong Chen readily accepted and disappeared the next day.

So until the breakup, Rong Chen didn't give Qiao Yimu a reasonable explanation, and now, Qiao Yimu doesn't need this explanation.

However, there are still regrets between the two, such as the fireworks display.

"I know your situation in Qiao's family, and I also know that Qiao Tiannan doesn't allow you to go out alone, so I want to find a time when Qiao's family is not there to make an appointment with you, so that you don't have a burden, and you can make up for your regrets."

Qiao Yimu looked at the man in front of her, this is the man who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, for a long time, he was also a teacher and a friend, a brother and a father to her, she relied on him, trusted him, and abandoned her homeland with him without hesitation.

If she hadn't felt so strongly that he was going to push her away, she wouldn't have mentioned breaking up, this was her first man, and the man she was willing to protect with her life.

"I'm going back to the U.S. next month, and I'm probably going to be based in the U.S., so I won't have the opportunity to come back, or maybe I'll never come back."

Finally, Qiao Yimu couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked eagerly, "Why?" ”

It was only then that she realized her gaffe, and she hated herself too, why she had to stress him again and again.

Rong Chen smiled, "After all, I'm just a part-time worker, whoever gives me a salary, I have to listen to whom's arrangement, right?" ”

Qiao Yimu faltered, "Is it really that simple?" You won't ...... Is there some other conspiracy? ”

Rong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can take the driver, and I promise to send you home safely after the fireworks are over...... What do you think? Interested? ”

Qiao Yimu pondered for a while, and finally said, "Okay, but I have to wait until my dad and they go out before they can come out." ”

Rong Chen's face couldn't hide a smile, and the corners of his mouth raised stingily, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the old place." ”

——

The time soon arrived at Zheng Hengzhi's birthday banquet, and Huo Jue rushed to the birthday banquet hall non-stop as soon as he got off the plane that day, just in time for the opening of the banquet.

Running all the way, he and his subordinates didn't even have time to get jet lag.

Taking his seat, Jian Feng bent down to his ear and reminded, "Your Excellency, Ambassador Rong is absent today, and it seems that he is not embarrassed to win over the vice president." It's rare that the vice president invited him generously, he is so unappreciative of face, and he made it clear that he doesn't give face to the vice president, it seems that we don't have to worry about them hooking up. ”

Huo Jue nodded casually, "Hmm." ”

Zheng Hengzhi may know that this is likely to be the only and last birthday banquet in his political career, and today is the 28th anniversary of his marriage to his wife, so there is no meaning to save money on eating and drinking.

Of course, in addition to Zheng Hengzhi, the protagonist of this birthday banquet is of course the most eye-catching is his pearl - Zheng Di.

At the main table, Huo Jue and Zheng Di sat in the two main seats, Huo Jue did not want to steal the limelight from the master, but when he arrived, the position was already there.

During the banquet, Zheng Di asked with concern: "President Huo, did you just get off the plane?" Tired or not? ”

Huo Jue: "Fortunately, I'm used to it." ”

Zheng Di: "My dad is really, and he doesn't understand you, I can't help you if you rush like this." ”

Huo Jue: "That's not what I said, the work can never be done, but Uncle Zheng's birthday banquet is rare, how can I miss it?" ”

Zheng Di: "President Huo, thank you for your guidance last time, I am now sponsoring 20 primary school students from poor households in the new district, and there are another 50 families who have been impoverished due to illness to be funded. ”

Huo Jue: "I didn't do anything, God will repay the kind-hearted girl, thank you for the good deeds you have done for the people of the new district." ”

Zheng Di always felt that Huo Jue deliberately drew a line with her, and he didn't miss any words in his words, but his eyes never looked at her squarely.

Conversations without eye contact inevitably come across as insincere.

From the moment Huo Jue sat down, Zheng Di smelled a plaster, and when Huo Jue reached out to pick up the vegetables, she found that there was a plaster on his right wrist, "President Huo, your wrist is injured?" ”

Huo Jue: "It's nothing, it's just a small sprain, it's almost healed." ”

"Your body is not trivial, I'll give you the food." As he spoke, Zheng Di took a piece of chicken and fed it to his mouth, "President Huo, this dish is well done, you can taste it." ”

This has gone beyond the scope of cloth vegetables.
