Chapter 195: The road is narrow
Lin Qingqing didn't come to her senses for a minute, she looked at Liu Xiaoli beside Lin Yan, her mind was blank. If it weren't for the flamboyance and seductiveness of that face, she wouldn't even believe it was the same person.
"Mr. Ou's family has a big business, and the pomp and circumstance of this annual meeting is not trivial." Lin Yan held the red wine, and the brown liquid in the glass shone brightly under the light, like a deadly poison.
Looking at Lin Yan coldly, Ou Yuanlan's face rose silently. "This is ......," his gaze deliberately fell on Liu Xiaoli.
Sure enough, Lin Yan's face immediately changed. "It's just my female companion." He maintained his usual composure and gentleness.
When Lin Qingqing raised his head to look at Lin Yan, he happened to be staring at him. When this person was in the Lin family, he couldn't help but say that he wanted to marry himself, why did he stand next to another woman in the blink of an eye?
However, what made Lin Qingqing feel most incomprehensible was not this, but that Liu Xiaoli and Lin Yan actually got together. How did the two people, who had no intersection at all, suddenly appear together?
When she heard the words "female companion", Liu Xiaoli's smile was obviously stiff. She turned her head to look at Lin Yan beside her, her smile was still the same, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
She held Lin Yan's hand harder, but her face didn't show a single thing. "Oh, always, right? We met last time. She picked up the red wine in her hand and smiled generously and decently.
Ou Yuanlan is such a perceptive person, how could he not know that he had seen the woman in front of him. "It's Miss Liu, right?" He picked up the champagne and touched Liu Xiaoli's red wine glass lightly.
"Miss Lin, we're still neighbors." Liu Xiaoli took the initiative. She's always been good at controlling the field, especially when she needs to earn a place for herself.
Lin Qingqing, who was stunned on the side, finally came back to his senses. "Not anymore." She smiled faintly, with a chill in her eyes.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. Why did she meet Liu Xiaoli every time she went out before, and why she could immediately understand Lin Yan as soon as she had a stir, all of this probably had something to do with the person in front of her.
Choked by Lin Qingqing's words, Liu Xiaoli could only smile awkwardly. "Miss Lin is indeed better than before now." There was something sarcastic in her words.
"Qingqing, you are so beautiful today." Lin Yan praised Lin Qingqing without scruples, his gaze fell on the woman in front of him, as dazzling and blazing as the light above his head.
Lin Qingqing didn't react yet, but Ou Yuanlan expressed his dissatisfaction first. He took Lin Qingqing, and the coldness in his eyes was unobstructed. "Mr. Lin, do your duty." The curvature of the corners of his mouth vanished, and his tone was full of menace.
Feeling the threat of the other party, Lin Yan didn't care. "Mr. Ou, I have always been a fair lady in this world, and a gentleman is good." He gently shook the red wine in his hand, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
I don't know why, Lin Yan obviously looked gentle and elegant, but Lin Qingqing obviously felt the danger emanating from the two lions. In the confrontation with Ou Yuanlan, Lin Yan's momentum did not lose at all.
With the crisp sound of the glass falling to the ground, the red wine in the glass also scattered in all directions. On the black marble floor, the burgundy liquid blossomed into a flourishing flower.
Liu Xiaoli, who had been standing beside Lin Yan to observe the situation, suddenly slipped her hand, and the goblet in her slender hand suddenly fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally slipped my hand." She smiled decently but apologetically, and bowed slightly to everyone.
For this kind of treatment, Lin Qingqing had to admire. In fact, she was really worried just now, in case Ou Yuanlan and Lin Yanzhen got into a pinch, how should she deal with it.
Lin Yan frowned and looked at Liu Xiaoli, how could he not know whether this woman's hand slipped or something else. "Let's go, let's go and sit down." He whispered, and left with the people around him.
Looking at Lin Yan's back, Lin Qingqing felt that she didn't know much about this man anymore. While he spared no effort to use her to hurt her, he announced to the world that he was interested in her.
This contradictory approach is really incomprehensible, not to mention that Lin Qingqing and him haven't seen each other for three years. What has happened in the past three years?
The coldness in Ou Yuanlan's eyes increased a little more, and it seemed that he still couldn't underestimate Lin Yan. Since he has the confidence to confront him, it is impossible for him to be completely unprepared.
Next, toasting with others, and making false promises with others, Lin Qingqing almost just maintained a fake smile and politely said a few words to others. What's more, she didn't even say a word, just smiled and touched the wine glass, and took a symbolic sip of the liquid in the glass.
She kept imagining countless times in her mind the scene of herself talking to Liu Xiaoli, and all her life was under the watchful eye of another person. I never felt how terrible it was to live alone, but at this time, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but get goosebumps.
I don't know how much wine I drank, Lin Qingqing only felt uncomfortable in my stomach. "I'll go to the bathroom." She shook Ou Yuanlan's arm a few times slightly, and said with an uncomfortable expression.
"Uncomfortable?" Ou Yuanlan's light tone contained concern.
In order not to worry Ou Yuanlan, Lin Qingqing squeezed out a smile, and then shook his head. "No, it's just that I drank too much and wanted to go to the toilet." She whispered.
Ou Yuanlan nodded. "Go ahead." He let go of Lin Qingqing's little hand, and then walked into a pile of men in suits and leather shoes alone.
Lin Qingqing, who had long been uncomfortable, leaned against the wall and slowly walked to the bathroom. Although she had expected that today's pomp and circumstance might be large, she never expected that there would be so many people.
Wearing ten-centimeter high heels, she accompanied Ou Yuanlan from morning to afternoon, and the group of people were still toasting. It seems that there is a reason why she can't be a leader, she can't drink so much wine.
Putting down the bag in his hand, Lin Qingqing propped his hands on the sink. Looking at her pale face in the mirror, she rubbed her stomach helplessly.
If you have a bad stomach, you will have these problems, as long as you drink some wine and eat some spicy and stimulating food, your stomach will cramp incomparably until you are exhausted.
After a minute or two, the colic eased a little. When she looked up again, there was another face in the mirror.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Liu Xiaoli's smile was still the same, she took out a lipstick from her bag, and began to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.
