Chapter 62: The White Lotus's Calculations
The banquet hall reverberated with melodious piano music, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became stronger as the guests continued to arrive.
After Ling Mohan appeared, he was immediately invited by the host to speak on stage.
As the leader of the No. 1 Military Industrial Group of Country A, Ling Mohan rarely appears in front of everyone.
The outside world only knows that there is such a military commander with an iron-blooded policy in charge of the military-industrial group, but very little personal information about him, and even some old employees don't know what he looks like.
So when the host invited Ling Mohan to go up, the audience immediately erupted in a burst of thunderous applause.
Those unmarried women of wealthy and powerful families couldn't hide their love in their hearts, and their eyes followed him closely, if it weren't for the identity and upbringing of the young lady of the family, they would not have been able to get it.
There was no way, Ling Mohan was like a walking hormone, exuding an extremely strong male aura all over his body, and his handsome and cold face was even more ascetic and evil, which made people's hearts pound at a glance.
If he hadn't been too ruthless, and the ladies of the family were reserved for their ladylike status, they would have pounced on him a long time ago.
Ling Mohan said a few words briefly on the stage, and the audience erupted in warm applause again, and when he walked off the stage, a group of powerful people immediately gathered around to talk to him.
Qin Shu didn't squeeze in when she saw this, and her body had just recovered, so she was not suitable for socializing in these scenes.
Participating in the banquet this time, she was just a female companion for Ling Mohan, and by the way, she acted in front of the old man, so that the old man could feel more at ease.
Qin Shu stood aside, and many people around her were secretly looking at her, secretly speculating about her relationship with Ling Mohan, and many of them were envious and jealous in their hearts.
They seemed to deliberately want to snub Qin Shu, and no one stepped forward to talk to her, but it seemed that Qin Shu was standing there alone, looking pitiful.
In fact, Qin Shu didn't think about it that much at all, she was too lazy to socialize.
At this moment, a delicate and beautiful voice came into his ears: "Qin Shu? β
With such a familiar voice, who else is there besides Tang Anru?
Qin Shu pretended not to hear it, and walked to the other side with the juice.
"Qin Shu, it's really you!" Tang Anru walked up to her quickly, with a surprised expression on her face, and a pair of soft hands also grabbed her tightly, "I saw your back just now, I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect you to come to the banquet too." β
Her tone was very happy, and people who didn't know thought how good Qin Shu was with her.
Qin Shu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you." β
The attitudes of the two were in stark contrast, which made those around them who were secretly observing Qin Shu very curious.
They pretended to be chatting, but in fact, they all pricked up their ears to listen to the movement here, eager to understand Qin Shu's background information clearly at once, it was best to figure out what the relationship between her and Ling Mohan was, and she could actually be his female companion!
Facing Qin Shu's indifferent attitude, Tang Anru's eyes showed a trace of forbearance and grievance, but he still said happily: "We haven't talked together for a long time, I finally met you tonight, I'm so happy." How have you been doing during this time? Are you okay? Are youβAre you still blaming me? β
The last sentence was asked carefully, coupled with Tang Anru's soft and pure face and soft tone, it was easy for people to lean towards her side.
Qin Shu hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Did you do something wrong?" Why should I blame you. β
Tang Anru was stunned, as if he didn't expect Qin Shu to say this.
But the next second, she showed a happier smile: "I thought you didn't hold you in time when you blamed me for the car accident, but I didn't expect me to be careful." Qin Shu, we're still good friends, right? β
Qin Shu looked at her with a smile, and did not take this sentence, but said: "I just met Mr. Qi, he seems to be looking for you, don't you want to go over?" β
After speaking, she glanced at the wrist that was tightly held by Tang Anru.
Tang Anru didn't seem to understand Qin Shu's hints, she still held her hand and refused to relax, but her smile was reluctant: "Do you still have a relationship with Mingran?" I thought you'd forget about a boyfriend when you had him...... Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this nonsense. β
She seemed to realize her slip of the tongue, and hurriedly picked up two glasses of champagne, handed one to Qin Shu, and said in disguise: "Let's have a drink together to celebrate our friendship for so many years, and we are still best friends." β
Qin Shu frowned slightly, and did not take the wine glass she handed over.
Some people around began to whisper, whispering to Tang Anru what he said half-hidden and half-hidden, with a look of disdain.
"It turns out that she has a boyfriend and seduces Mr. Qi, isn't this a junior?"
"Miss Tang is so pitiful, she still regards her as a good friend, I'm afraid she doesn't know that she is green, right?"
These young ladies from famous families hold their own noble status, and their strict family education since childhood requires them to be ladylike, and they are not allowed to stick to men casually, and they are not allowed to be too intimate with men who have girlfriends.
Just now, Qin Shu stood together with Ling Mohan in a radiant light, and they were already secretly jealous in their hearts, but it was difficult to show their feelings.
Now I heard Tang Anru say that Qin Shu hadn't forgotten Qi Mingran's ambiguous words, and then looked at Tang Anru's reluctant smile, and immediately decided that Qin Shu was shameless, and a boyfriend was still seducing other people's boyfriends!
"In my opinion, someone's boyfriend is not as good as Mr. Qi's, so he wants to stick to Qi's house. She didn't look at what she looked like, and thought that the female companion who became Commander Ling was a phoenix. One of them was straightforward, and he couldn't get used to seeing Qin Shu, so he deliberately raised his voice.
The other ladies of the family covered their mouths and laughed in a low voice, all looking at Qin Shu's jokes.
When Tang Anru heard this, he hurriedly said to Qin Shu guiltily: "It's all my fault, saying the wrong thing caused you to be talked about like this......"
"That's enough." Qin Shu coldly dropped two words, turned around and left.
If it weren't for the Qin family's debt to the Tang family, Qin Shu wouldn't have tolerated Tang Anru calculating himself again and again!
"Qin Shu!" Tang Anru was a little flustered, and hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Qin Shu's arm.
"Don't touch me." Qin Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and shook her hand violently without looking back.
"Ahh Tang Anru exclaimed in surprise, holding the glass of wine in his hand and splashing it on his neck, and the golden liquid quickly soaked the gauze skirt on his chest.
This is a shame at a banquet.
However, at this time, no one felt that Tang Anru was ashamed, but thought that Qin Shu was too unappreciative and vicious!
Tang Anru was still holding Qin Shu's arm tightly, and the other hand was trying his best to cover his soaked chest, with a hazy mist in his eyes, this fragile and feminine appearance immediately aroused everyone's pity.
Soon, a man took off his coat and put it on Tang Anru's body, and stopped Qin Shu with righteous words: "You should apologize to this young lady!" β
"Are you kidding?" Qin Shu hooked her red lips, and looked at him coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Even when she is angry, she is extremely beautiful when she laughs.
The man was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to accuse Qin Shu again, Tang Anru suddenly choked up and said, "Qin Shu, I know...... I know you haven't forgiven me, and I know you haven't forgotten Mingran. β
She tried her best to hold back her tears, and her voice was fragile: "It's all my fault, I know you like Mingran, and I'm still with him." For all this time, you have refused to forgive me, and I feel very guilty in my heart, but what should I do? I like him too! β
Tang Anru shed tears as she spoke, and the crystal tears crossed that soft and beautiful face, which was really distressing!
The smile on Qin Shu's face disappeared, and she looked at her expressionlessly: "I said a long time ago that I don't have the slightest interest in Qi Mingran!" Now I repeat, I wish you and him a long time, and never break up to harm others! β
There was an uproar around, and some people showed skeptical looks, obviously not believing that Qin Shu would give up the opportunity to stick to the eldest son of a wealthy family.
Tang Anru bit her lip lightly and sobbed quietly: "You just have a hard mouth, obviously you still like him very much in your heart, but you just refuse to admit it, otherwise why are you chatting with him so happily on WeChat?" β
As soon as these words came out, many people whispered about it.
"It turns out that he is still seducing other people's boyfriends on WeChat."
"She has a boyfriend, and she still seduces Mr. Qi, which is too shameless."
"I heard from employees of the military-industrial complex that she was slapped twice in public by other people's wives and almost stripped naked."
"Ah, it seems that she not only seeduces Mr. Qi, but also hooks up with other people's husbands, how can there be such a shameless woman."
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, Tang Anru was pale, standing there with teary eyes, his thin figure looked pitiful, as if he would faint in the next second, how could it not make people sympathetic and distressed.
And Qin Shu looked like an iron wall, no matter what others said, they couldn't knock her down.
Suddenly, someone said, "Why do you want this kind of person to come to a banquet?" What about security? Hurry up and get her out of the house, so that you don't have to worry about watching. β
"Yes, I don't know how casual the banquet is, and any indiscreet woman can come in."
They had long forgotten that Qin Shu was Ling Mohan's female companion, and they only wanted to drive her out.
Tang Anru stopped in front of Qin Shu, looking like he was defending her: "Don't be like this, this is a matter between me and Qin Shu......"
"Where did the pheasant come from to add drama to himself!" An angry scolding suddenly interjected, interrupting Tang Anru's words.
Tang Anru's face changed slightly.
I saw Su Xiaoya coming over angrily, tearing Tang Anru away from Qin Shu, glaring at Qin Shu and saying, "Baby, I'm really angry with you!" She didn't treat you as a girlfriend at all, why did you put up with her? β
Qin Shu sneered, glanced at the pitiful Tang Anru, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Could it be that I can still beat her?" β
Su Xiaoya glared at her, panting with anger.
Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and looked at Tang Anru: "Didn't you say that my baby seduced your boyfriend on WeChat?" Wow! Then let's show the evidence in public and confront each other well, lest a pheasant like you frame my baby here! β
As soon as these words came out, Tang Anru's face changed greatly, and his fingers tightly grasped the suit jacket.
