Chapter 106: Beauty and the Beast (1)

"That's it!" Xia Nianzhi was indignant, but when he thought of something, he puffed up angrily: "Sheng Marks!" Don't say it again! β
The little girl's eyes glared angrily, and her cheeks flushed with shyness.
Sheng Zhen was as kind as a stream, pursed his lips and got up with a light smile, then raised his hand and rubbed Xia Nianzhi's head, his tone was like coaxing a child, and said softly: "I know that you like the ancient ginseng soup in Aocheng, it will be warm in the morning, and I will let someone send it later." β
"Not going out?"
Sheng Zhen narrowed his eyes, hid all his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Other things are put aside, you drink soup to warm your hands first, as for watching the play, the audience is naturally reserved for us to have a good position, don't worry." β
βWhatοΌοΌοΌ Watching a play? Sheng Zhen's words aroused Xia Nianzhi's greater curiosity, and he couldn't help but look up at Sheng Zhen, and wondered: "Aocheng Opera House, has you rehearsed any new works recently?" I haven't heard Bligh mention it! β
Hearing this, Sheng Zhen frowned, and he just explained so much, it was a pure waste of lips and tongues?
"Xia Nianzhi, your bad problem of being distracted in class, from the time of studying to the present..."
Sheng Zhen couldn't hold back, pinched Xia Nianzhi's cheek again, and sighed that the soft hand felt excellent, but the tone was quite melancholy that the master was greedy for the little apprentices under him, and hated that iron could not become steel.
Sheng Zhen said helplessly: "Give me a word, when can I change it?" β
"Mr. Sheng~" Xia Nianzhi sat upright and blinked very obediently, "Don't you think, this is very personal?" β
Sheng Zhen was silent, quietly watching Xia Nianzhi's nonsense, that bright and flickering energy, but she didn't carve the four big words 'nonsense' on her own head, and in a trance, he seemed to see the little girl of the Xia family who was keen on being naughty many years ago.
Obviously angry, Sheng Zhen was stunned to ease his tone, and after a while, he said helplessly again: "Xia Nianzhi, I lost to you..."
Before the words fell, Sheng Zhen raised his hand to cover the back of Xia Nianzhi's neck, thinking about the drama that was about to sound the gong at the beginning, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint gloom flashed under his eyes very quickly, and his fingertips gently rubbed Xia Nianzhi's neck, like a worried kitten.
Under such an action, Xia Nianzhi couldn't help but raise his head and tilt his head to look at Sheng Scar.
I feel sad and sorry at the same time.
Obviously, the deep facial features that can be depicted with her eyes closed, obviously the two of them are close to each other and you can smell your breath, but the distance between them is still the same as their own mountains and seas, and the ends of the world, even if she tries to get closer, in the end, she can only sigh at the scars.
Xia Nianzhi finally thought dejectedly, about the heavens, Sheng Scar and her, always such a high mountain, out of reach.
When he was in a trance, suddenly, his forehead imprinted a moist and slightly cool lip flap, and he tasted it like a dragonfly.
Silently looking at each other, the two of them fell into a long silence, belonging to the suspicion and calculation of the two, after being frozen by the tacit understanding, they worked hard to whitewash the peace of peace, it seems that they are about to follow the action of Sheng Scar, suddenly collapsed, and went to the end of the road.
Xia Nianzhi raised his hand and grabbed the corner of Sheng Ke's clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

The financial summit in Southern Province has always been mysterious, but there is one point, before the start of the summit, the family of the founder of the financial summit, that is, the Xiao family in Aocheng, must hold a dance party to wash the dust for many participants, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and the hospitality of the Xiao family.
When Xia Nianzhi learned of this, he was following Sheng Zhen's request, and in front of everyone, he took his hand and walked into the warm pavilion.
In the court, dozens of people with different expressions and ambiguous attention, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the battle, Xia Nianzhi knows that at this moment, even if he is reluctant to behave too closely with Sheng Zhen in front of outsiders, he can only face the difficulties.
However, at the bottom of Xia Nian's heart, while smiling skillfully, he silently poked a needle at Sheng Zhen's body.
β¦β¦
The warm pavilion is exquisite, carved beams and embroidered columns, the curved water flows, the pavilion layout style is a combination of Chinese and Western, but it seems particularly harmonious and harmonious.
The beams of the house are extremely high, the veil is like a wave to roll wantonly, and the crystal lamp hangs high in it, elegant and dignified, noble and luxurious.
β¦β¦
There were many participants in the southern province, political and business elites gathered, celebrities and rich people gathered.
Among them, there are many who bring their partners to attend, but only a very few, compared to the celebrity dinners in the past, the words and smiles between the staggered smiles, and the jewels of the prosperous era, at this moment, there are more desires and ambitions that are diffused like dark tides, and they are new for a long time.
Although the chaebol elite is not interested in the short term of their parents, it does not mean that they really turn a deaf ear, are indifferent, and even accustomed to the peachy scandals and anecdotes of competitors or partners.
After all, no one can predict that at some point in the future, these gossips and rhymes that they may look down on will become a stroke of genius, sending the enemy a fatal knife, helping them to help them in the battle for power and wealth, and become famous.
β¦β¦
What's more, as early as a few days ago, it was rumored that the gold post in Sheng Zhen's hand had been used.
Soon, someone inquired about the whereabouts of the gold sticker, so before the dance began, the good people and those who had a heart knew the evaluation of Xia Nianzhi's qualifications to participate, and at the same time, they also had a rough status judgment on her value and the future development of the Xia clan behind her.
However, at this moment, in this situation, Xia Nianzhi is like sitting on pins and needles, these bigwigs are like individual essences, all of them have experienced the ups and downs of the business sea for decades, the wind and clouds are changing, and the eyes are as sharp as knives, almost poking her into a sieve.
Xia Nianzhi was depressed, she felt that she couldn't bear it, but she stiffened her waist, and her eyes became cold as she swept through the people in the warm pavilion one by one.
β¦β¦
"Isn't that Xia Lao's granddaughter?" The fat boss was puzzled: "This Sheng and Xia surnames are in the same frame, what big moves will happen next?" β
"Previously, SΒ· M Group and Xia's issued a statement of cooperation, perhaps it is really to abandon the previous suspicion and work together, with the idea of swallowing the big cake of Pingcheng's entertainment industry, it seems that this uncle still takes care of his former brother-in-law......"
The thin middle-aged man gloated: "Back then, the Sheng and Xia families were ugly, and now the enemies have become relatives, it seems that the old man Sheng refused to attend the summit, obviously because his face was dull, and the face of the Sheng family's century-old family couldn't be hung in front of us!" β
"What brother and daughter-in-law! This eldest son Sheng and the granddaughter of the Xia family are so close, thinking about the rumors that Mrs. Sheng recognizes the granddaughter of the Xia family as her adopted daughter, it is very likely to be true! The fat-headed and big-eared middle-aged man in a Tang costume flashed with calculations in his eyes, and said: "This Sheng family is changing the dynasty again, and it is recognizing the enemy as a woman. β
The fat boss said in a weird tone, squinting his eyes and smiling: "Hey, it's not that sauce purple to speak, isn't there still the prince tonight?" A good show is waiting for a few of us! β
β¦β¦
Talking to each other, whispering, implying a mocking and disdainful gaze, constantly lingering on Xia Nianzhi and Sheng Zhen, even if Xia Nianzhi could only vaguely hear the end of the sound, everyone's behavior and operation like this, the content of the words between the lips and teeth is not difficult to decipher at all.
Here, after Xia Nianzhi looked around, he found that there were several 'old friends' who were invited to the dance tonight.
Xia Nianzhi clearly saw disbelief and panic in their cloudy eyes.
This is the first time since they stood by and watched the Xia clan sit idly by three years ago when they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Yes, even though Xia's eyes are full of sores and bruises, but it will eventually regain its former glory, and at that time, this group of untrustworthy and ungrateful accomplices, fear, fear, and cowardice, they will eventually taste the bitter fruits of themselves......
Thinking of this, Xia Nianzhi's gaze was no longer gentle, and his eyes became more and more aggressive.
"Nianzhi, I taught you... Whenever and where..."Sheng Zhen paused, then stood sideways in front of Xia Nianzhi, and instructed in a dumb body: "When facing the enemy, you have to laugh, smile sincerely, laugh innocently, laugh perfectly..."
Laugh?
Xia Nianzhi, who didn't have time to stop her steps, crashed straight into Sheng Zhen's arms, the man's chest muscles were strong and tough, and suddenly, she was knocked into the eyes of Venus, and her feet were even more unstable. Fortunately, when she was about to make a fool of herself, she had a pair of strong arms around her waist, and she was willing to be reduced to acting as a fulcrum for her, helping her stand firm and steadfast, so as not to be in full view of the public.
The audience was silent for a moment, and then the whispers were chaotic.
Xia Nianzhi was extremely embarrassed, and tried to pull the corners of his mouth and tried to smile, but he failed in the end.
"I can't do it."
Xia Nianzhi lowered her eyes, and was subconsciously pouring bitter water into Sheng Zhen, unexpectedly brushing her neatly broken hair behind her ears with her fingertips, the force was extremely gentle, and then a low male voice came from the top of her head, it was the slow and gentle sand voice of the man she was familiar with, "Nianzhi, look up, look at me." β
Xia Nianzhi hesitated for a long time, and finally did as she said, but the moment she raised her eyes, what she saw was in her bright eyes, which were as black as ink, she was full of anger and murderous intent, and for a moment, she was not like her.
"The real strength is that the joy and anger are invisible, the love and hate are not declared, and it is to teach people not to see your true heart."
Xia Nianzhi was confused, looking up at Sheng Zhen, his expression was indifferent, so close, but it was like a layer of fog, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Like you?"
blurted out but regretted it sharply, Xia Nianzhi secretly regretted it, she was so bold that she dared to question like this in front of Sheng Zhen.
Even if it was true, even if she had indeed never seen the slightest trace of sincerity, how could she be qualified to ask clearly?
No, maybe there is sincerity, at least he has a little bit to Song Cheng, his fiancΓ©e, and it is better to talk than nothing.
"I'm sorry... It's me... Transcending ......"
When the words fell, Xia Nianzhi felt that he was like a very neurotic, turning over and over, turning things upside down.
But there are still good things, after all, the thoughts are from anger to helplessness, and the mood is rare to have a kind of peace and tranquility that breaks the jar and breaks.
It's just that, as if suddenly, the space froze, time paused, and when it was extremely quiet, there was a very heavy footsteps.
Leather shoes on the thick mahogany floor, click, click, click......
It smashed on Xia Nian's heart one after another, plainly, like a cold wind blowing through.
"What a coincidence, long time no see."
