Chapter II
Ten years later, Hong Kong
In the dark bedroom, on the huge bed, a pair of man's frightened eyes suddenly opened, and he was awakened again in the same way after countless nightmares for countless nights.
Shanghai
The front of the Lan Group building is full of reporters,
Reporter report: Now for you to report on the acquisition of Company A, Lan's heir Miss Lan Ruixue will attend the meeting in person, however, it is expected that this is the first time that Miss Lan Ruixue has faced the media since she inherited such a large company... ("Alas, here it is...") Here it is..."shouted the reporter on the other side)
Not far away, a row of cars drove along the road, the scene was very magnificent, seeing the car stop, the reporters all crowded to the car window, and the long-waiting bodyguard stopped the reporter to make way for the car door. After all the cars were parked, the door that the reporter had been waiting for for a long time was opened, and a man about thirty years old came down from the co-pilot of the car, he was dressed in a suit, he looked very elegant, and he was very familiar with the media, he was the former chairman of the Lan family, that is, Lan Ruixue's father personally selected his fiancé Du Lu for his daughter, both in terms of appearance and talent, it was more than enough for Lan Ruixue.
The door of the back seat of the car was also slowly opened, and the reporters couldn't bear to squeeze forward, only to see a woman wearing black-framed glasses who looked like she was in her forties getting off the car, she had medium and long hair, holding a work bag in her hand, and she looked very capable in black overalls. The reporters were talking noisily.
The reporters didn't seem to be much interested in the two of them, "Miss Lan Ruixue, please get out of the car." ”
"Miss Ruixue." The reporters who were stopped by the bodyguards desperately crowded forward and shouted into the car, even if they couldn't see the inside of the car through the window, they had to let Lan Ruixue hear their shouts. For Lan Ruixue, too many people are curious about her, because no one has ever seen her, Lan Dong protected her very well before she died, and no reporter has ever taken a positive photo of her, of course, it is also related to Lan Ruixue's dislike to go out, Lan Dong left all his shares in the Lan family to his only daughter before he died two years ago, and of course all his property, as for how much no one knows. Now that she is going to have such a big meeting as soon as she comes forward, it seems that she is going to declare her sovereignty, and I heard that because of her non-appearance, the position of the president of the company is still empty, and I don't know how many people covet that position.
Almost all the reporters in the city came, just to take pictures of this woman with a net worth of tens of billions, too many people are curious about what she looks like, there are many rumors that she dare not show up because she is too ugly, and some say that she has social phobia, and some even say... She is a disabled person and has low self-esteem, of course, no one believes this rumor, how can she be inferior with so much money.
Duru was the first to walk to the front of the car, and he opened the door, "Light snow." He said softly into the car,
A slender hand stretched out from inside the car, as if signaling for someone to come and help her, and the reporters who saw this seemed to have even thought about how to write tomorrow's headline. The daughter of the Lan family came to the company for the first time, like a concubine out of the palace. "Miss Ruixue...", the photographer kept pressing the flash.
Seeing this, Du Lu quickly stretched out his hand to meet her, Lan Ruixue's hand was placed in Du Lu's palm and sensed it for less than two seconds, and then slowly moved away and stretched out to the other side, Du Lu's face was instantly ugly, but he still maintained a stiff smile in the face of so many reporters and so many cameras. The reporters were embarrassed, and even thought of tomorrow's subtitle, Lan Ruixue not only played a big name but also disliked her fiancé when she first appeared.
The housekeeper secretary, who was standing on the side and watching the whole time, immediately stepped forward to answer, "Xiaoxue, be careful." ”
Finally, Lan Ruixue, who the reporters had been waiting for for a long time, stepped out of one of her legs from the car, she held the hand of the secretary next to her and got out of the car carefully, the noise around her was more intense, and the flashing lights hit the people very dazzling, Lan Ruixue got out of the car with an expressionless face, and Du Lu carefully guarded the side, "Miss Ruixue..." The rumors really can't be believed, how can Lan Ruixue be so ugly, most reporters thought in their hearts.
Lan Ruixue has medium-long hair, and her petite body makes men can't help but feel a sense of protection, she looks like an ordinary girl next door, completely unassociative with a rich princess with a net worth of tens of billions, wearing an ordinary company uniform, which is specially worn for today's press conference, her small lips are as ruddy as cherries, her face is very delicate and exquisite, the only deficiency is that her eyes are empty and godless, and her face has always been expressionless since she got off the car, no matter what she asked questions from reporters around her, Still the dazzling flash on people's faces, Lan Ruixue was always expressionless, seemingly indifferent to everything around her.
"Miss Ruixue, when will you marry Mr. Duru?"
"Miss Ruixue, may I ask if Director Lan really has left you as much property as rumored?"
"Is it okay for Miss Ruixue to say something? Please take a look at the camera..."In the face of the reporters' questions and requests, Lan Ruixue was always indifferent, walking forward slowly, and the reporters were stopped by the bodyguards and could not do anything.
"Miss Ruixue, do you need to explain to the camera that people say you don't want to face the public because you are ugly and disabled?" The reporters' questions were sharper and sharper, and when they heard this question, Lan Ruixue suddenly stopped.
"That's enough." The housekeeper's secretary suddenly shouted at the reporter, she let go of Lan Ruixue's hand holding her, walked to the camera and grabbed the microphone, and yelled at the reporter, "Today I only talk about business, and I have nothing to say about things that have nothing to do with work." "The housekeeper's secretary was severely tortured, which made people feel frightened.
"Auntie..."Lan Ruixue's gentle voice was a little scared, she stretched out her hand and groped forward. This words and deeds suddenly attracted the attention of reporters.
"Auntie? It turned out that the rumored housekeeper secretary was Lan Ruixue's relative, no wonder he had so much power, it turned out to be a relational household. ”
"According to this, the Lan family is almost the enterprise of the Lan family."
"Hey, look, Lan Ruixue still needs someone to help her walk."
"Wait, quick shots."
Reporter report: Major news, big news, Lan's daughter turned out to be a blind person who couldn't see anything, oh my God... Does she still have the ability to manage the Lan Clan?
"It is estimated that the Lan clan will be destroyed in her hands."
.....
"Miss Ruixue, are you really invisible? When were you blind? ”
"It turns out that the rumors can't be believed, Lan Ruixue is really a disabled person."
"Mr. Duru, you and Miss Ruixue have been engaged for a few years and still haven't gotten married, is it because you dislike her and can't see it?"
The reporters' sharp questions made Durou's face even more ugly.
.....
The voices of the reporters' discussions, noises, and reports are as distressing as pinpricks.
Lan Ruixue held the hand of her housekeeper secretary tightly, and did not say a word during the whole process, the housekeeper secretary is Lan Ruixue's most trusted and favorite and only relative in this world, whether it is in the company or at home, others call her Wang Steward, for Lan Ruixue She wears many hats, just to protect the only daughter left by her sister.
"Xiaoxue, don't listen..."Steward Wang held Ruixue with one hand and covered her ears with the other, Lan Ruixue just showed a bitter smile and didn't say a word.
In the company lounge, Lan Ruixue sat quietly on the side in a daze, and the door was gently pushed open.
"Xiaoxue, the meeting is about to start." Steward Wang cautiously walked towards Lan Ruixue.
Lan Ruixue's eyes moved slightly, she didn't respond to her, she just slowly raised her hand, Steward Wang took her hand, put the other hand on the back of Lan Ruixue's hand, and quietly looked at Ruixue's face, her face full of distress, "I'm sorry, my aunt promised you, this is the first and last time, I can't help it, if you don't come forward again, the company will..."
"Auntie, I know." Lan Ruixue said softly, "It was too noisy at the door just now, I just wanted to be quiet." Ruixue squeezed out a smile, "I only heard the buzz just now, they didn't hear anything, and I don't know if it will affect the company's reputation, all blame me for my eyes are no longer good, even my ears have problems." Huh..."
Steward Wang looked at her distressedly, and she thanked Rui Xue for comforting her so much.
The scene of the report meeting was full of people, and the back row was full of TV stations, always ready for the live broadcast, and Steward Wang helped Lan Ruixue to stand next to him, preparing for the meeting.
Steward Wang faced Lan Ruixue and helped her sort out her clothes, "Xiaoxue, today is the first time you have faced the media as a director of the company, remember, you want to show it to those who covet your position in the company." ”
"Got it, don't be afraid, don't fail, my aunt has told me many times." Lan Ruixue smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.
Steward Wang helped Lan Ruixue to slowly come to the stage, and the flashing lights of the reporters in the back row immediately became active. Although Lan Ruixue couldn't see it, she could feel countless flashes hitting her face, at this time, she was a little glad that her eyes couldn't see, because she knew that she was the most timid, there should be a lot of people sitting below, I heard my aunt say that there is a TV station, it should be on TV, where will it be broadcast? Lan Ruixue couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, she didn't understand why she thought of this at this time, something that had nothing to do with the meeting.
"Hello everyone, welcome to all gentlemen and ladies to our Lan Group..."Steward Wang stood in the audience, nervously clasped his hands into fists, and looked at Lan Ruixue who was speaking on the stage. I am Lan Ruixue, the current chairman of the Lan family, and I only faced the public today, I feel very sorry..."The steward Wang in the audience smiled with tears in her eyes when she heard this, she was waiting for this sentence, and there was only one chairman of the Lan family.
"Lan Ruixue, blue... Auspicious... Snow. In the dark bedroom, a man sat alone on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the scene of Lan Ruixue at the Lan briefing on the TV screen, the picture was frozen in the scene of Lan Ruixue's speech on the stage, Lan Ruixue on the stage still looked so cold, there was no light in his eyes, the man looked at her on the screen, calling her name over and over again, familiar and unfamiliar, sad and desolate.
"Yuchen." The heavy voice of an elderly woman behind sounded, the woman looked about sixty years old, there were a lot of white hairs on her head, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes looked very kind, her eyes were slightly red as if she had just cried, she held an urn in her hand, looked at Xie Yuchen who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and then looked at the still picture on the TV screen, her face was bitter, she gently put the urn in her hand on the table next to her, "I will help you put the ashes of the doctor here." The woman wiped her tears and stood quietly behind looking at the silent Xie Yuchen, "It's been ten years, can't you still forget her?" ”
"It's not that I can't forget, it's that Xie Yuchen can't forget, even if she closes her eyes, she will still appear, hehe, I can't forget her even if I'm dead." The man smiled bitterly and reached out to Ruixue's eyes on the screen, his face full of sadness.
"Do you remember the doctor's last words?" The woman sat down on a chair at the table and gently wiped the doctor's urn, "He told you to go to the United States to find a friend of his, and once you find him, you should never go back to China." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm old, ten years ago in Shanghai, I begged the doctor to take me with me just to be able to take care of you, since you were born, I have taken care of you for your mother, I have long regarded you as my own child, now I am tired, I can't take care of it, I will take care of the family here."
"Mother Wu" Xie Yuchen got up and looked at her pale hair and fine lines at the corners of her eyes. In the memory, Wu's mother accompanied him throughout his childhood and schooling years, because of her care, so that Xie Yuchen in his youth never had the feeling of missing maternal love, looking at the white-haired Wu's mother, Yuchen was shocked to realize that Wu's mother was also old unconsciously, Xie Yuchen at this moment didn't feel any discomfort, he used to hate people who loved to cry, and now he envied those who would cry, because they wouldn't know that they were sad and uncomfortable but had nowhere to vent, he missed the days when he was sad and could cry, He hasn't shed a tear for a long time, it's been ten years ....
"Thank you, Mama Wu, I have become like this, you are not afraid of me, you have not disliked me."
"Silly boy, it's too late to hurt you, how can I dislike you?" Mother Wu got up and looked up at him, "Remember, you are Xie Yuchen." ”
