Shen Che and Chi Shanshan's engagement banquet was scheduled for a boutique restaurant owned by the Shen family.

Jiang Xiuyu had already customized the dress for He Huan ten days ago, and called her to let her go back to Shen's house to try it on, He Huan didn't mean it, of course Jiang Xiuyu knew her thoughts, and persuaded her on the phone, which was quite serious.

"Huanhuan, Mom knows that you are not happy, but Ah Che's marriage has already been decided, this is also a major event of the Shen family, as the second miss of the Shen family, you must attend the engagement banquet on the day, otherwise I and your Uncle Shen will not be able to hang on our faces, so come back and try on the clothes, just support your mother, okay?"

In the final analysis, Jiang Xiuyu was still afraid that she would lose her identity as Mrs. Shen at the engagement banquet.

He Huan didn't say anything, and hung up the phone directly, and when Jiang Xiuyu called again, she didn't want to answer again.

Zhou Shen would always think of the scene between He Huan and Shen Che in the storage room of Xiuzhong Pavilion before, he already knew that there was some unknown ambiguous relationship between the two of them, and now that Shen Che was going to marry the daughter of the Chi family, he was actually a little worried about He Huan's mood, and even this worry was vaguely mixed with a trace of irritability and uneasiness.

On the eve of Shen Chi's engagement banquet, Shen Che and Chi Shanshan had a meal together, and by the way, they went to Shen's house to agree on the details of the banquet on the second day.

Shen Che's study was on the northernmost part of the third floor of Shen Mansion, and the handsome face was full of tiredness under the light, and he looked a little absent-minded.

Chi Shanshan was distressed and asked, "Che, have you been too tired to prepare for the engagement banquet recently?" ”

He shook his head: "For the company's sake." ”

"Shen's capital turnover has a problem?" Chi Shanshan also has a certain understanding of the internal affairs of the Shen family, after all, they will soon become a family, and Shen Che has no intention of hiding it from her.

"Several loans are about to expire, and the bank called me, meaning that if the interest cannot be repaid according to the contract as scheduled, the cooperation with Shen may be terminated."

"It's all falling into the ground." Chi Shanshan scolded Shen Che, she was originally born in finance, and served as the financial director of Lanchi Group for several years, and she usually has close contacts with the bank, so she naturally knows the face of the bank.

Shen Che smiled bitterly: "Human nature, there has never been understanding and sympathy in the business field, banks are also interest institutions, not charitable organizations, the Shen family is no longer what it used to be, and banks naturally have to ensure that their interests are not lost." ”

Chi Shanshan couldn't see him so depressed, reached over and grabbed his neck, hung her head down and leaned on his shoulder, affectionate.

"Okay, Shen's financial crisis is also temporary, my dad has promised to inject capital into Shen, and as long as we get engaged, Shen's stock price will definitely rise tomorrow." Chi Shanshan comforted him, but he didn't understand these truths, and it was precisely because he understood them that he felt even more painful.

He laughed bitterly in his heart, quietly and gently pulled away the arm that Chi Shanshan wrapped around him, and took out a cigarette and a lighter from the drawer.

"Sorry, do you mind if I smoke one?"

Chi Shanshan shook his head, he smoked a cigarette and lit it, and the face in the mist became even more painful and tired.

He Huan took the bus back to school from Xiuzhong Pavilion, and his mind was empty.

She had imagined countless times before that Shen Che was going to get engaged or married to other women, and felt that she should be so sad and desperate that she washed her face with tears all day long, after all, Shen Che was the only love and dependence she had in her 22 years of life, and after tomorrow this man would never belong to her again, it stands to reason that she should be grief-stricken, but it is strange that the closer to the engagement day, the calmer her state of mind is.

It's like when you are told that you have an incurable disease, that the medicine is useless, that you are dying, that you have to go through a period of inhuman pain before you die, and that you don't feel anything for a short time before you breathe, as if your soul and spirit have gone out of your body, and your body has become numb.

Now He Huan is in this stage, not sad or happy, not even the slightest emotion, just sat in the last row of the bus in a daze, until the driver urged her to get out of the car, she bounced up from the chair......

This is the last train back to school, and the conservatory is a few stops to the bottom, and there are no other passengers on the bus, except He Huan who stepped through the empty carriage with weak steps and got off.

The wind blew, and the car drove in front of her, and her long hair was curled up, and a few strands of it floated to her eyes.

With a squint of eyes and a lift, there was a tall and thin figure standing in front of the white body under the street lamp across the road, wearing a light cyan mid-length coat.

He Huan really hoped that he was dazzled, why did he appear? Or did you choose to show up the night before the engagement?

Shen Che looked at He Huan across the road, stiffened his neck, and stubbornly stood on the bus stop and refused to come over.

He knew that she was evading, so much so that her mobile phone number was blacklisted by her during this time, but he was still unwilling, put his hand in his coat pocket, slowly crossed the road, and walked in front of He Huan, lowered his head, and let the white mist in his mouth breathe on her face.

This is really not a suitable time and place to speak, He Huan closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, and was finally willing to raise his head and meet Shen Che's eyes that were blown red by the cold wind.

"You've been waiting here for a long time?"

"It's okay, more than an hour."

"Why don't you go back?"

"I want to see you."

"See me for what?"

"I ask you for a word!"

"Which one?"

"The one you're willing to say."

"Heh~ I was willing to say that I had already told you in the hospital infusion room that day."

"No, that's not what you mean!"

"I'm sorry, but it's all from my heart!"

"Okay, if that's what you say, why don't you answer my phone during this time? If you really regard me as a brother, why don't you even have a blessing? You can't say it at all, and you dare to say that it's all your true words? Shen Che's tone suddenly began to become a little excited, and his tough attitude seemed to be persecuting something, was it persecuting He Huan or forcing himself?

He Huan kept his crystal clear eyes open from beginning to end, his gaze was stunned, as if he wanted to pull out Shen Che's heart.

In the end, he softened first, just He Huan's eyes.

As Chi Rongjie said, He Huan has double crystal clear eyes and a pure face, as if she is aggrieved and extremely weak, but who would know that there are too many thorns hidden under her hair and skin, you can't see it, but it will stab you at any time and you have no power to fight back.

Shen Che was still defeated in He Huan's eyes at this time, as soft as water, but faintly with hatred.

His heart softened, and he reached out and took her into his arms......

He Huan didn't refuse, not even the slightest struggle.

She could feel the man's urgent and suppressed pain, so vivid and explicit, and now she encircled herself in her arms again, hugging her tighter and tighter, until He Huan had to bury his face in his shoulder blades, he asked in a dumb voice: "If I am willing to give up everything now and take you away, are you willing to go with me?" ”

This is probably the question He Huan is most afraid of hearing now.

At that moment, she clearly felt resentment in her heart, resentment of this man, resentment of why he was so selfish.

Since learning about the engagement date of Shen Che and Chi Shanshan, He Huan has finally survived the most difficult days, but now he suddenly appeared in front of him and threw her such a question.

No matter whether she answers "yes" or "unwilling", it won't end well, not to mention what's the use of the two of them leaving together? The world and ethics can't tolerate them, and she doesn't want to bear this "crime", let alone let Shen Che bear this "crime" for her.

It's not worth it!

Between reputation and interests, He Huan always agrees with Shen Che choosing the former, because she firmly believes that no matter how good the relationship is, it will eventually be invincible to interests, Jiang Xiuyu and He Hai's marriage is the best example, she has learned from the past, and naturally she doesn't want to let herself repeat the mistakes of the past.

"I'm sorry, but it doesn't make the slightest sense to ask this kind of question now, but it seems that you are selfish." He Huan slowly broke away from Shen Che's arm that was holding his waist, looked into his eyes, smiled, and then stood on tiptoe and leaned over, giving him a kiss at the corner of his lips very lightly.

Like a feather gliding across the middle of a lake.

Shen Che never knew that her kiss could be so cold and so ruthless.

"Brother, if you have to come to ask for something today, then I'll tell you now...... Congratulations, congratulations on tying the knot with Sister Shanshan, I wish you a hundred years of good luck and an early birth to a noble son. ”

……

Zhou Hongsheng called Zhou Shen again and took the vaccination in advance.

"You must go to the Shen family's wedding banquet tomorrow, don't lose my courtesy."

Zhou Shen really didn't have any way at all: "Dad, I'm going to the city government for a very important meeting at 4 pm tomorrow, I really can't go, but I will arrange for Fang Qin to give gifts." ”

"It's not enough to just give gifts, you have to go in person, I was already very sorry about Shen Mingyue's matter before, Shen Yuelin called again and again and said that you must attend in person, you said you could not go?" Zhou Hongsheng seemed to be a little moved, "So don't prevaricate me with any work, I will arrive on time tomorrow, and when I see Shen Mingyue, I will personally say hello to someone, and I can be a friend if I don't have a chance to be a husband and wife!" ”

Zhou Hongsheng is a lot of truth, Zhou Shen really doubts that the old man has been too idle recently, and he doesn't care about the company's affairs, but he worries about his private affairs all day long!

Shen Chi's engagement is also a major event in Yecheng, local newspapers and major websites are vying to report the news that day, the audience is also mixed about this marriage, a small half of the people kindly blessed the pair of golden boys and girls to finally achieve a positive result, most of the dark-minded people asserted that the two looked like each other, there was no real relationship at all, and even swore that it was just a business marriage, but the audience discussed it too hotly to be useless, and the truth was only known to the two parties.

The so-called drinking water is like a person, and it knows its own warmth and coldness!

The engagement banquet is scheduled to start at 7:28 p.m., which is the auspicious time that Shen Yuelin specially measured for the two couples.

The fame of the Shen Chi family in Yecheng is also relatively large, and now that the two families have become in-laws, there are naturally many people in the circle who go to cheer, so the engagement banquet is full of guests before 7 o'clock.

Seeing that the time was approaching the auspicious time, He Huan did not appear for a long time.

"Where's your precious daughter? Why haven't you come yet? Shen Yuelin pulled Jiang Xiuyu to the side corner of the restaurant and asked her in a cold tone.

Jiang Xiuyu hurriedly replied respectfully: "I called her just now, and she should have been on the bus." ”

"How long will that take?"

"Probably... About 20 minutes. Jiang Xiuyu casually talked nonsense.

Shen Yuelin glared at her: "I must let her come over before the auspicious time, otherwise I will not be sure, today is the big day of our Shen family, it is best not to let her cause anything to me!" ”
