Chapter 51: The Vortex of Public Opinion
I saw Luo Yanbei and Liu Chenyi whispering a few words, and then walked towards the hall alone, Luo Wan'er smiled and held Liu Chenyi's arm, and the two had already arrived at the door of the room.
Shen Mi couldn't help but stand up.
Not to mention anything else, if Liu Chenyi saw Xi Yu, it would probably be another bloody storm, and more importantly, she didn't know what Xi Yu was doing inside!
Thinking about it, she had already lifted her skirt and ran towards Liu Chenyi at a trot.
"Liu Chenyi!" She let out a low voice, Liu Chenyi shook her hand when she heard the words, and when she saw her, her pupils trembled, and her eyes were complicated.
Although the woman in front of her has long hair draped casually over her shoulders, she looks carefully shaped, wearing a well-fitting black suspender dress and a light nude makeup, looking like a fairy descending to earth.
It's just that he didn't expect that on this kind of day, she would actually appear here, and she would be alone.
"Sister." Luo Wan'er was the first to scream, breaking the stiff atmosphere.
Only then did Liu Chenyi retract his mind and glanced at her lightly.
"How?"
"I have something to tell you!"
Shen Mi swallowed her saliva, God knows how much she didn't want to pay attention to this madman, but now that it has reached this point, she can't care about it so much.
Even if he thought about it many times and left Xi Yu alone, he felt that he was a bad woman anyway.
She really couldn't sit idly by.
On an occasion like today, a little mistake will become the focus of the audience, and there are so many reporters here, she doesn't dare to think about the consequences of Xi Yu going on like this!
Liu Chenyi's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and a pair of deep eyes stared at her loudly, as if he wanted to see her through, staring at her all over the body.
Somehow, Shen Mi was a little stunned, and blinked uncomfortably, "Forget it." ”
Liu Chenyi chuckled.
"What, Major General Xi won't be angry?"
Shen Mi glanced at him when he heard this, but did not answer.
Liu Chenyi is really Liu Chenyi, no matter how arrogant and domineering he is in front of others, as long as Shen Mi speaks, he can't control himself, even if he knows that there are no good things she wants to say, he still wants to hear her.
"Say it." His eyes flashed, regardless of Luo Wan'er's face, he took a few steps closer to her, "What new reason did you think of to scold me today?" ”
Shen Mi lowered her eyes, this, she really didn't think about it......
"I just wanted to ask you a few questions!"
"What you said about kidnapping, sending photos, and spreading rumors to the outside world, I didn't do it, is there any problem?" Liu Chenyi frowned slightly, and took the lead in speaking.
Shen Mi frowned, I have to say that this person's heart is really small, and he remembers every word she scolds clearly!
"I just don't understand why Xiaoxing suddenly got engaged to someone else!" She glanced at him and said coldly.
"I said it, she volunteered." Liu Chenyi said word by word with a straight face.
"I don't believe it." She snorted coldly, but her eyes poked towards the door.
Fortunately, Luo Wan'er didn't go in, just obediently clubbed at the door, looking at the two of them inquiringly, without any unhappy expression, her eyes were clear, like a simple angel.
Liu Chenyi glanced at her eyes, as if she remembered something, and pulled the corners of her mouth suddenly.
"Shen Mi, wouldn't you be, seeing other women by my side, I feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this.
"It's a lot of imagination." She retracted her gaze unnaturally, "Xiaoxing begged me to say good things to you on the front foot, and got engaged to someone else on the back foot, you said that she did it voluntarily, I don't believe it!" ”
"Well, you didn't trust me anyway." Liu Chenyi lowered his face coldly and didn't explain more to her.
Shen Mi saw that he was leaving, and was about to stop him, but saw Lin Chuan push the door out and saw them at a glance.
"Brother." Lin Chuan strode over, glanced at Shen Mi deeply, with a little puzzlement in his eyes, and then patted Liu Chenyi, who had a dark face, on the shoulder.
No matter how unhappy Liu Chenyi was, he had to give this prospective brother-in-law three points of thin face, put away his unhappy expression, and hooked the corners of his mouth at Lin Chuan, "Is Xiaoxing nervous?" ”
Lin Chuan shook his head, "She was talking to her friends inside, and she was chatting happily." ”
Shen Mi blinked insightfully, "You guys chat, say goodbye." ”
This Lin Chuan, his eyesight is too good to be seen.
As soon as she left, Liu Chenyi was pulled by Lin Chuan into the middle of a group of elders, and she was finally able to take a breath, but when she saw Luo Wan'er still standing at the door, she had a headache for a while.
"Sister, you are so beautiful today." Luo Wan'er did not hesitate to praise herself, her eyes were bright, like a princess who did not care about the world.
"The most beautiful thing in the audience is you, Wan'er." Shen Mi smiled, thinking about how to get rid of this little cutie.
"It's a pity, Liu Chenyi only has you in his eyes, and I'm also very beautiful, why don't you look at me?" Luo Wan'er raised her eyebrows stupidly and sighed lightly.
Shen Mi smiled helplessly when he heard this, "His vision is not very good, emotional things, if he takes a step back, you will take three steps closer, and you will always catch up." ”
Luo Wan'er blinked, as if she thought what she said was very reasonable, grinned at her, and pointed to Liu Chenyi not far away, "Three steps closer~"
Seeing her brisk back, Shen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly came to the door, and broke in without even knocking on the door.
Xi Yu was staring at Liu Chenxing, as if he had just experienced a big battle.
Seeing her, the expressions of the two were not very good.
"Why are you here?"
Liu Chenxing frowned and asked in an unkind tone.
"What, now that the two of you are on the same front, you want to deal with me together?"
Xi Yu's face tightened unhappily when he heard this, "Sister-in-law, can you go out first, I have something to say to Xiaoxing." ”
Shen Mi was so angry that he took a mouthful of old blood.
How much effort did it take her to come in and save this little uncle from fire and water, but she was chased away when she came in!
"Xi Yu, now is not the time to speak, go out with me!" She said coldly with a straight face.
Xi Yu sneered when he heard this, "My good sister-in-law, she broke up me and Xiaoxing, and now she won't even let me speak?" ”
"Xiaoyu, the matter has come to this, we have nothing to say, fate is over, you go!" Liu Chenxing glanced at Xi Yu, then glanced at Shen Mi pointedly, and lowered his head gloomily.
Xi Yu didn't follow, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Chenxing's arm.
She was wearing a white dress today, simple and fresh, with her hair coiled up and a diamond crown on her head, but at the moment she was crumbling under Xi Yu's excited push.
"Xi Yu, if you let go of me, it's impossible for us!" Liu Chenxing came back to his senses and struggled to withdraw his arm.
"As for why I want to get married, ask your good sister-in-law!"
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this, how did this war suddenly burn on him?
"No, I'm going to hear you say, what the hell is going on!" Xi Yu did not let go unrelentingly, Liu Chenxing may have been frightened by the great change in his temperament, and trembled and pointed to Shen Mi who didn't know how to be good.
"Because of her! My brother said, we will never be! Xiaoyu, you know, my brother likes her, she likes it so much, I have no choice but to blame me! ”
Liu Chenxing pointed at her, and every word was a false accusation that made her speechless.
"Sister-in-law, what exactly did you do?" Xi Yu was shocked, looking at her in disbelief, his expression hideous and painful.
"Xiaoyu, you don't know, she, she's still meeting my brother! Every time my brother saw her, he was very angry, and then he would get angry at me and tell me that we should never want to be together! If I don't get married, it's going to be bad for you! ”
"Please speak and be reasonable, if there is no evidence, why should you say me?"
Shen Mi was stunned when she heard this, and then she was furious in her heart, because she was stupid to help Liu Chenxing at the beginning, but at this time, she actually ended up being bitten back, and the wicked person sued first!
"I have no evidence? Have you touched your conscience and met my brother? Liu Chenxing was unwilling to accuse.
"I did, but it has nothing to do with you! Why did you suddenly marry another man today, only you know in your heart!! Shen Mi became angry, and his tone hardened a few points.
"I really didn't expect that you are such a person, and I called you sister before! Don't you feel guilty for hurting me and Xi Yu like this? Liu Chenxing opened and closed her mouth to pour dirty water on her, she really didn't understand, what happened to a good girl, her temperament changed greatly, and suddenly became like this!
"Sister-in-law, is what Xiaoxing said true?" Xi Yu let go gloomily, with some mockery and anger in his eyes.
"The eldest brother is in the army, sister-in-law, is it too much for you to go to see your old lover?"
Shen Mi rolled her eyes irritably when she heard this.
If it weren't for Xi Yu's recent depression and today's big blow, she really wanted to punch him and make him sober up!
"As long as you go out with me now, you can say whatever you want!" She sank her face and stepped forward to grab Xi Yu's arm, but he coldly shook her away.
"You're really my sister-in-law." Xi Yu glared at her fiercely, his eyes were scarlet, as if he wanted to devour her alive with anger.
After speaking, he lowered his eyes and chuckled in a hoarse voice.
"Xiaoxing, I wish you happiness, I'm sorry for you."
As soon as the words fell, he bumped into Shen Mi, who was still about to explain, and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Shen Mi glanced deeply at the flustered Liu Chenxing, and finally didn't say much to her, and followed out the door.
A blinding flash of light hit, and she subconsciously looked away.
After a long time, she realized that a reporter with a camera came to the door at some point, and he was shooting at her and Xi Yu.
She subconsciously pushed Xi Yu, "You go quickly!" ”
"Eh, don't go! Miss Shen, answer me a few questions! ”
Where was the reporter willing to let her go, it seemed that he had no interest in Xi Yu, but he just stepped forward to block her way.
"May I ask if you and Liu Chenyi were lovers before? If you are married and still meet, is it a broken thread? The reporter stepped forward unrelentingly, and asked extremely absurd and ridiculous questions one after another.
"Say a few words? Is this rumor true? Liu Chenyi has today's engagement ceremony because of you, who opposes his sister's marriage, right? ”
This reporter's voice was exceptionally loud, and after several entanglements, many people attracted sideways.
Shen Mi subconsciously wanted to retreat to the room, but was snapped by Liu Chenxing and locked the door.
Xi Yu was mixed in the crowd, watching the play with a cold face.
Her heart suddenly went cold, and her expression didn't get good.
"Ah, by the way, and the most important point, the kidnapping case that happened a few days ago, although the news from all parties has been suppressed, but there is multiple evidence to prove that it is true, may I ask Miss Shen, is this indeed the case? What was it like? Did the robbers seek wealth or ......? Mr. Xi Lie did not accompany him today, is the relationship between the two affected because of this incident? ”
Shen Mi was shocked when he heard this.
It wasn't like she didn't hear the sudden eruption of whispers around her, and the sound of the guests covering their mouths and pointing.
She, the low-key and unknown Mrs. of the Xi family, was exposed to everyone's field of vision for the first time, and it was actually with such unbearable scenes and rhetoric!
To make matters worse, some other reporters saw the commotion here, and surrounded her like hyenas, and for a while the flash stabbed her so that she couldn't open her eyes, so she had to reach out to cover her face.
The scene began to spiral out of control.
"Oh my God, it turns out that the rumors are true!"
"This is the daughter-in-law of the No. 1 clan in Cloud City? It looks too much to handle! ”
"It's just that I heard that I was taken away by the kidnappers for a few hours and disappeared, and then came back intact, who knows what happened......"
"Eighty percent have been ......"
……
For a while, the unbearable voice of speech came like a tide, she was like an isolated boat, and a small wave could make her capsize in the turbulence of public opinion at any time.
There was a buzzing in her ears, and she couldn't breathe a little uncomfortably.
"Excuse me, what are you doing at my engagement ceremony?"
The warm and jade-like male voice sounded suddenly, but it was extremely shocking, and the people around were silenced when they heard the words, and they all blinked and stopped talking.
The reporter at the head smiled, "Mr. Lin, we also have a realistic and pragmatic attitude, and it was not easy to meet this young lady of the Xi family, so we didn't care about so many ......."
"Oh? At my engagement ceremony, embarrassed my honored guests, this is ...... Can't get along with me? ”
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at him coldly, exuding a cold aura all over his body, and quietly paced in front of Shen Mi.
The reporter was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head again and again, "Don't dare, it's just a coincidence!" Besides, this Miss Lin has made her words clear, isn't there nothing going on? Do you think so? ”
Only a few reporters nodded in accord, and they were all too frightened by Lin Chuan's eyes to speak.
Although this Lin Gongzi is low-key, he is different from those rich sons, but no matter how you say it, everyone like the Lin family, they can't afford to be provoked by a small reporter!
"I don't want to have any flaws in my engagement ceremony on such an important day because of anyone or anything, and I ask you to cooperate, otherwise it will ......"
Lin Chuan groaned, his calm eyes were full of a fierce murderous aura at the moment, and he didn't say the rest of the words, but it made people's hearts tremble, and they felt the strong threat in them.
Several reporters were at a loss and wanted to raise their cameras to take pictures, but they were forcibly confiscated by the security guards who arrived.
"This ......" Lin Chuan pointed to the reporter who had just hit the head, and glanced at the security guard: "Dispose of the photos, and then blow people out!" ”
The security guard nodded, snatched the reporter's camera, and arrested him.
"You, you have no right to control my personal freedom! I'm going to expose you! Let me go! The reporter was angry and shouted at the top of his voice.
However, his invective and noisy soon drifted away in this huge banquet hall, and the melodious music was still playing, but the people watching the excitement did not disperse for a long time.
"I'm sorry everyone, because of a little mistake, it has caused inconvenience to everyone, please give me a face, and thank you for your understanding!" Lin Chuan smiled, and the whole person was like a big mountain, standing still.
The guests dispersed one after another, leaving only Liu Chenyi, who was not far away, with a dark complexion, and Luo Wan'er was holding his arm, with a far-fetched smile on her face.
"Are you alright? It's all my mistake, and I shouldn't have let the reporter come today! Lin Chuan turned around and saw that her face was as pale as paper, without blood, he frowned tightly and asked worriedly.
Shen Mi was soaked in cold sweat.
At the moment, he was shivering under the cold air.
She didn't know how to react, her mind was a mess, her heart felt like someone was choking, and she couldn't breathe in pain.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! How did you get here! I've been looking for you for a long time! ”
Jing Liang strode over, seeing this, he didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that Shen Mi's head was sweating, he was frightened, and couldn't help but look up and down, "What happened?" ”
"Hurry up and send Miss Shen back!" Lin Chuan sighed, "Don't go to the main entrance, take the side door over there." ”
Shen Mi was like a dilapidated doll that had been drained of her spirit at the moment, she couldn't react no matter how she shouted, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't move.
Her thin hand gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and she took a few steps back, hitting the wooden door straight and collapsing to the ground in the next second.
Lin Chuan was about to help her up, but was quickly pushed aside.
"Shen Mi, are you okay? Speak! ”
Liu Chenyi had an anxious look on his face, patted her face, and was about to pick her up.
"Liu Chenyi! You sober up! I've told you how many times, this is not the occasion for you to make a move! A clear voice sounded, Luo Wan'er was holding her little face, and grabbed Liu Chenyi's arm without giving a beak.
"Who are you? Do I need you to talk a lot about my business? Liu Chenyi shook off her hand, and the force was so great that she stumbled and took a few steps back.
"Didn't you hurt her like this?" Luo Wan'er was also angry, her eyebrows frowned, and she said coldly word by word.
"What nonsense are you talking about here?" Liu Chenyi frowned, and his expression was as cold as ice.
"Okay, now is not the time to quarrel, Miss Luo is right, you should not do anything now, otherwise she will only be uncomfortable." Lin Chuan pulled Liu Chenyi, who was already angry, aside and said in a low voice.
Jing Liang took off his blazer and helped Shen Mi up from the ground.
"Where's your awesome major general husband? At this time, you will be left alone?? Liu Chenyi made her look depressed, a little angry, and asked angrily.
"Please pay attention to what this gentleman says, General Xi will be here soon!"
Jing Liang stiffened his neck and said stiffly.
"Okay, let's go......" Shen Mi was dizzy by their noise, and she forced her spirit to speak out and stop Jing Liang's words.
Jing Jing nodded and glared at Liu Chenyi unhappily, then he helped Shen Mi, who was already weak in his legs and couldn't walk, and slowly walked into the passage leading to the side door.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't take care of you......" Jing Liang said with self-blame.
Shen Mi shook his head and was speechless.
"Big brother is almost here, I called him just now, but, what about Xi Yu? Why didn't you see anyone? Jing Liang said, looked back, but didn't see Xi Yu's figure.
Shen Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Xi Yu sneered at her in the crowd just now, and she still remembered it vividly, which made her heart cold.
got into the car, Jing Liang saw that she was shaking badly, so he had to turn on the heater and drive the car to the gate of the manor to wait for Xi Lie.
After a while, Xi Lie's car appeared in the night, but instead of coming towards Shen Mi, he strode towards the manor.
"Big brother, where are you going?" Jing Liang was a little confused.
Shen Mi's heart sank, and his intuition was not good.
"Go down and stop him, don't let him in!!" With that, she opened the door and trotted after him.
"Xi Lie!"
She called his name, but he didn't hear it.
Jing Liang moved forward quickly, but he didn't know what Xi Lie said, he didn't even dare to move, so he could only watch him go away from the place.
Shen Mi was really stunned now.
She sacrificed herself in order to stop the loss in time, and was scolded so much that she was bloody, Xi Lie went in again to make a fuss, and all today's sins were in vain!
Her legs were out of strength, she stumbled a few steps and almost fell.
Fortunately, it was lively inside, and there was no one outside, except for the cool evening breeze, no one saw this scene.
Seeing Xi Lie walk to the door, he met a dark shadow and turned back.
When he got closer, Shen Mi saw that what he was holding in his hand was Xi Yu's collar.
"Xi Lie, you ......" she straightened up, "let go, there are reporters around here!" ”
As she spoke, she grabbed Xi Lie's arm, glanced at Jing Liang, and forcibly dragged Xi Lie outside the gate of the manor.
"Alright, let go!" She said, breaking his big hands.
Xi Yu was thin, like a thin bamboo pole in front of Xi Lie, he was restrained by Xi Lie like this, and he couldn't move at all.
"I don't need your fake kindness!" Xi Yu said coldly, and subconsciously slapped her hand away.
"I don't think you're awake yet!"
Xi Lie let out a low snort, and a fast punch hit Xi Yu's face.
Xi Yu fell to the ground in response.
Shen Mi was frightened, this was the first time she had seen Xi Lie beat someone, and she was beating her own brother!
Xi Yu is so thin, how can he withstand his fists! At this moment, Xi Yu's fair face was swollen, and dark red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother, this woman, I can't be with Xiaoxing, you go on a mission and she goes to see her ex-boyfriend, and you still want me to call her sister-in-law? No way! Xi Yu wiped the corners of his mouth, his eyes glared at Shen Mi fiercely, and his eyes were about to split.
"Shut up!" Xi Lie said, grabbed him by the collar, dragged him up from the ground, and waved his hand and punched again!
"Don't fight anymore!!" Shen Mi was shocked when he saw it, and couldn't help but yell at Jing Liang, who didn't know how to react to the side: "What are you doing in a daze!" ”
Jing Liang was shocked by her roar, quickly came back to his senses, ran forward and hugged Xi Lie.
"Big brother can't fight anymore, he's the second son of Xi! I can't beat it! ”
"Xiaoyu, since you can't learn to be a man, then I'll teach you to do it!" Xi Lie is like an angry lion at the moment, Jing Liang can't pull him at all!
"That's it!"
Seeing that he was about to fight again, Shen Mi couldn't bear it anymore, and a roar had already erupted from his chest.
"Don't you think I'm annoyed enough?!"
She was a little devastated.
The scenes that happened today were constantly replaying in her mind like a movie.
The way everyone pointed and pointed, the questions asked by the reporters relentlessly, and the frames that Liu Chenxing came when he opened his mouth, each of them made her heart ache beyond measure.
Xi Lie finally stopped moving, looked at her with complicated eyes, and came up to take her into his arms.
"I'm tired." She muttered, and without waiting for him to answer, she slowly got into his car.
"You send Xi Yu to the hospital." Xi Lie said to Jingliang, "You must send him to the hospital, don't let him go home." ”
Jing Liang nodded, picked up Xi Yu, who had lost his spirit, and dragged him to the car in three or two clicks.
Shen Mi sat in the car, her heart was so heavy that it hurt to breathe.
Xi Lie opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, but drove silently all the way downstairs to the house, and meticulously took care of her to get out of the car.
After returning home, Shen Mi took a bath without saying a word and silently got into the bed.
After a while, Xi Lie poured a cup of hot water and paced to the window.
"Take the medicine and go back to sleep." He said softly.
Shen Mi sat up, took the medicine and water, swallowed it in one gulp, and lay back silently.
Xi Lie seemed to have a lot to say, and a thousand words just turned into a sigh in the end.
"I'm sorry." He muttered.
She didn't answer, turned over, and ended the conversation.
She slept very unsteadily this night, sometimes bright as day in her dreams, sometimes dark, noisy laughter and scolding shutters in her ears, the laughter of all kinds of people when she walked out of the street, and Xi Yu's accusations, all of which made her uncomfortably toss and turn, as if pulling back and forth between dreams and reality.
Xi Lie looked at her frowning eyebrows, layers of cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he didn't close his eyes all night, holding her in his arms and constantly comforting her, his heart was unbearable.
When the day was approaching, the person in his arms was like a stove, and he had a high fever.
Xi Lie was shocked in his heart, and quickly sent her to the hospital, who was already burned to a delirium.
"Uncle Yang, is this fever a bad sign?"
After settling her, Xi Lie asked in a deep voice in the aisle outside the ward.
Dr. Yang sighed, his brows full of helplessness.
"In the future, I will often do this, and I am prescribed oral chemotherapy drugs, but in fact, the effect is not particularly obvious, I mean, don't hide it......"
Xi Lie lowered his eyes when he heard this, and rubbed his sour eyes with his big hand.
"After a while, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
"It's best not to delay, let's take treatment measures as soon as possible to contain the disease, and when the time comes, we can find a suitable donor, and everything is still in time."
Dr. Yang sighed and patted him on the shoulder as if to soothe.
"I also hope that Uncle Yang can keep this matter a secret from my family." Xi Lie nodded, with lingering sorrow between his eyebrows.
"I heard you say that Miss Shen's father died early, she has no brothers and sisters, and her mother has no news, so it's difficult to do it now." Dr. Yang shook his head, "Among siblings, the success rate of matching is the highest, the mother is more than 50 percent, I have reported the matching library, you can start and find her biological mother." ”
Xi Lie nodded, "I see, thank you Uncle Yang." ”
"We can't give up the slightest opportunity, you also look at the opportunity to do the work, I'm afraid it will be ...... if it drags on."
Xi Lie's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head silently.
"Brother."
Not far away, Xi Yu's low call suddenly came.
Xi Lie looked at his swollen face and the corners of his broken mouth, his eyes were cold, and he ignored him.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xi Yu walked over with a slight tremor in his voice.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law...... What's wrong? ”
peace of mind says:
Yes, little Mimi is sick, but this is not the end, but a new beginning.
Recently, some people have been very unhappy to see it, but if you endure it, you will be fine.
mua one!
