An unquiet banquet
I waited in the side hall until the banquet officially started before going out again. My father was introducing the fifth uncle to the guests present. The fifth uncle was dressed in a dark purple robe and gold-rimmed glasses, making him look gentle and elegant, even if he stood next to his father, who was famous for his beauty.
After a simple greeting, the social time began, and the father led the fifth uncle to shuttle between the presidents and chairmen of the major groups to say hello one by one. I've been alone since I arrived at the old house, and I really don't know what the purpose of letting me come is.
"Nanxi, are you well?" The fifth uncle, who finished greeting, came to my side.
"I'm sorry to bother you, I'm already in good health."
"I've heard that this kind of mental illness is easy to recur, and you shouldn't dwell too much on the past, and it won't be good for your body to relapse."
"I don't have anything to do all day, so I don't have to worry about relapse." I smiled, and I always felt that there was something in his words.
"You're back, and I think your mother will be happy too." My hand tightening in my grip on the glass tightened suddenly, and I had always deliberately avoided mentioning anything about my mother, whom I had never met, but he came up and said.
"How do you say this from the fifth uncle?" I asked rhetorically.
"It's more useful to find out on your own."
"That's okay, I'm still out of company over there." Whetting my appetite? I don't really want to know. "Oh yes, didn't Uncle Five's child come today? Or is the child gone? I looked at the man in front of me, who had no flaws in his expression, smiled, and turned to leave. I don't know if Yang Sheng has anything to do with him, but he was the one who made a mockery of me first, and I know how she died and how she became pregnant with me. I've been keeping this thing in the dark, but he has to shine this light wherever he wants, and no one wants to be comfortable.
After I left the venue, I walked straight towards the back garden, which was very safe for no one except the Shen family. I unguarded myself and walked towards the Jasmine Garden, which I used to go to as a child. I never knew that my father would see me, and the jackals who split up were rare and didn't stir up trouble, I thought it would be a vicious battle, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
The weather is still very good today, and the moon illuminates the garden as if it were daytime. I came to a pavilion with a wrought iron swing that I had built when I was a junior in high school.
I leaned on the swing and looked at the large jasmine garden in front of me, and I closed my eyes as the swing gently shook and the refreshing aroma slowly relaxed.
But in this beautiful atmosphere, there are always those who do not have long eyes to disturb people's rest.
I was drowsy when I heard footsteps approaching, I opened my eyes and looked around, but I didn't see anyone, thinking it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, so I let my guard down. Because I don't know how long I slept, I was about to get up and go back, but as soon as I reached the gate of the jasmine garden, I was pressed down by a figure rushing out of the side in the rose bush beside me, and the spikes of the roses cut blood marks on my bare skin, and the instant stinging pain and the impact of being suddenly pressed down made my eyes dizzy.
"The little beauty is hungry for me."
The voice I just heard made me wake up instantly, and at this time, Zeng Wei's fat face had already leaned towards my neck, and I immediately struggled to shout, thinking that this would make him afraid, but when the disgusting smell of tobacco and alcohol hit, I knew that shouting was useless, at this time Zeng Wei's tongue had already reached my neck, and my body quickly became goosebumps. I reached out and plucked the iron magnolia ornament I was wearing on my head, plunged into Zeng Wei's shoulder, and kicked between his legs, which had already put up the flag.
Zeng Weijiu, who was hit by me twice, woke up a little and let out a sharp scream, I stood up and pulled the torn dress to call the security guard, "Come to Jasmine Garden, right away!" ”。 Still feeling angry, I kicked Zeng Wei on the head who was curled up on the ground again.
"Dog, I don't know who I am, dare to touch me!?" The group of security guards came running over, and I pointed to the man on the ground who was snorting, "Carry him into the hall and get me a blanket." ”。
Three or four security guards carried the man curled up on the ground towards the main venue, and I waited in the back for the maid to bring the blanket and followed him.
The banquet was still in full swing, and the well-dressed men and women inside were still talking and laughing in the elegant music. After the security guard carried Zeng Wei into the venue, he gained everyone's attention. I stood by with a blanket on my body, my hair in a mess, and my face full of anger, and anyone who could see knew what was going on. Looking at jokes and gossip, I browsed back and forth with the people on the ground, trying to guess whether Zeng Wei had succeeded or not through my imagination. Then there was a whisper from the crowd.
"This person seems to be Zeng Wei, the chairman of the Augo Building?"
"Looks like it's him? Oh my god, what's going on?! ”
"Who's that woman?"
"Don't you know? Shen Nanxi, the eldest lady of the Shen family. I just returned to China some time ago, hey, you said that this Zeng Wei ate the bear's heart and the leopard dared to touch her? As the discussion began, I sat in the chair that the security guard had brought and did not say anything, but waited for my father to come out. I wanted to see what he would do with this guy in this situation.
"There's blood!" A voice focused all the visiting eyes and caught my father's attention.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Running towards me was my father's secretary, anxious to check on my situation.
"Oh, that man on the ground dares to try to violate me!" At this time, Zeng Wei also regained some senses, lay up and sat on the ground and said nonsense: "No, it was this woman who seduced me first!" She was dressed indecently, dangling in front of my eyes all the time, and winking at me from time to time! "I didn't expect this Zeng Wei to be so despicable and dare to splash me with dirty water.
"Director Zeng, you've drunk too much. The visitor brought Director Zeng to the reception room. Secretary Kong beckoned the security guard standing on the side to take the person away.
"You say I seduced you? What about the evidence? I raised my hand and motioned for the security guard to step down. I haven't thought about settling things, if this matter is suppressed and it doesn't hurt him anymore, where will I put my face?
"You gesture to me with your eyes, where did you get any evidence!" Zeng Wei was still stiff-mouthed.
"Hey, dare to slander me without proof? Call the police and let the police decide. "I took out my phone and was about to call the police, but my father stopped me.
"Director Zeng, you actually show my face like this, you dare to touch my daughter? I think we'll put our cooperation on hold for now. The father's words caused the crowd to exchange ears again. The Shen family did not rely on finance to gain a firm foothold in country C, but the family and the political circles are inextricably linked.
Recently, Agu Architecture is considering the project in the west of the city, which is a government tender, so we need to go through our family relationship. And today there are also a lot of his competitors. Originally, the two of us had already cooperated, but as soon as my father's words came out, the funds invested by their group would be lost, and other projects might also be eaten.
Hearing this, Zeng Wei knew that he was scared, and kept apologizing, my father didn't pay attention to him anymore, and said to me directly: "Nanxi, go back to the room first." Secretary Kong found a doctor to treat the young lady's injury. ”
Zeng Wei blamed the driver who threw it at him and brought it home. I looked around in the crowd and never saw Li Yanzhen.
