Chapter 114: 2013-7-25 23:08:50 book

In the end, Su Sicheng failed to stop the engagement banquet. Early the next morning, the Su family invited a costumer, hair stylist, and makeup artist to help Su Jinnian create the most gorgeous and perfect makeup from head to toe.

When the lady of the Su family with delicate makeup, noble temperament and gorgeous clothes walked out of the car with a smile, all the flashing lights instantly boiled up, like crackling firecrackers, which shocked the audience's eyeballs. For an instant.

The faces of the women couldn't hide their jealousy, and the eyes of the men couldn't hide their admiration. Even those senior seniors who used to dismiss Su Jinnian were slightly dazed for a moment, feeling that this was created by Mr. Su. Children, step by step, will grow into a new generation of leaders in the mall and become their new rivals.

Lu Zongrui went up to hold her hand, the joy on Ku Rui's face was hard to hide, his spirit was high and he was proud of himself. To him, engagement and marriage are just ceremonies. As long as Su Jinnian accepts him, the meaning of engagement is not much different from the meaning of holding a wedding.

Once Su Jinnian publicly admitted his relationship with him at the engagement banquet, then this woman would become his beloved wife for life.

Su Sicheng leaned on the railing and stood in the corner upstairs, watching the radiant woman swimming in the crowd like a fish in water, holding Lu Zongrui's arm, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, talking to all kinds of things she used to care about even Disdainful bosses, politicians, media people, etc. chatted and joked, without the slightest affectation, as if they were familiar with the world.

"Ah Cheng, why are you here?"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the corridor, followed by the clacking sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor tiles.

Ji Hanxi flicked her wavy long purple hair, hopped and ran to Su Sicheng's side, raised her hand and patted his shoulder, followed his gaze into the lobby, saw that he was looking at Su Jinnian, Even with a smile, he sighed: "Sister Su is getting more and more beautiful. If I were a man, I must pursue her crazily and **** her away from Lu Zongrui!"

While talking, he took a sneak peek at the expression on Su Sicheng's face from the corner of his eye.

Su Sicheng withdrew his gaze, put his hands in his pockets, only smiled faintly when he heard the words, turned around and was about to walk away.

"Hey! Ah Cheng!" Seeing that he was being ignored, Ji Hanxi's expression turned cold, and he raised his voice to stop him, "The reason why you rejected me...is it because of that woman downstairs?"

Su Sicheng paused, stopped, turned around and smiled at him, but the smile looked indifferent.

"Since you know, why do you still pester me? Give up, I can't like you, and I won't accept you."

"But...you and her are impossible!"

Ji Hanxi is not an idiot, she can feel Su Sicheng's indifference towards her and his deliberate avoidance, but she likes him so much, it's not that she hasn't tried to give up, but she just can't. However, no matter what kind of psychological preparations he had made before, at this moment, when he clearly heard Su Sicheng say such heartless words, his heart still couldn't help but twitch violently.

"That's none of your business either."

"If, I mean if..." After hesitating for a while, Ji Hanxi bit her lip and asked the question she always wanted to know but never dared to ask, "Without her, would you like me?"

Su Sicheng smiled slightly, his eyes determined: "There is no if."

"Don't avoid this topic!" Ji Hanxi suddenly raised the syllable, almost growling, "Answer me!"

Seeing the other party's almost sad face, Su Sicheng finally restrained his expression, and gave her an extremely serious but vague answer.

"do not know…"

Ji Hanxi almost collapsed: "...what, what do you mean you don't know?"

"I have been in love with my sister since I was very young. My sister has a great influence on me, so I don't know what I would be like if I hadn't met my sister. So your assumption has no reference at all. value and significance."

Slightly speaking clearly, Su Sicheng walked straightforwardly, without looking back at the moment his eyes were red, but he tightly clenched his fists to support the proud girl.

In fact, Su Sicheng didn't dislike Ji Hanxi. In this kind of circle, girls who can maintain their true temperament are rare. If he could choose, he didn't want to hurt her.

But... Ever since he fell in love with his sister, he can no longer tolerate anyone in his eyes.

It wasn't until Su Sicheng walked away that Ji Hanxi slowly and limply made it to the ground. Tears rolled in her eyes, she was so wronged that she couldn't restrain herself, but she couldn't hold back the tears, refusing to admit that she had lost. It was a crushing defeat, and he refused to admit his feelings for many years, just like that...lose without a fight.

If it were another rival in love, Ji Hanxi could strike without any hesitation, crushing the other party to death.

However, her rival in love was none other than that woman, the eldest lady of the Su family, Su Sicheng's own sister!

It's so ridiculous!

A hopeless forbidden love affair ruined all her beautiful fantasies, how could she be reconciled? !

"Xiaoxi, good boy... come here, Auntie will help you up first, don't be sad. Ah Cheng is just confused, how could he not like you... You see, he has never been with other girls except you, It can be seen that he treats you differently."

When Lin Haixuan came to look for Su Sicheng, he had just heard the second half of their conversation, and he was almost **** to death when he heard Su Sicheng say that, but at the same time, he was more sure that Ji Hanxi's feelings for Su Sicheng were probably too deep. The point of extricating oneself.

Holding Lin Haixuan's arm and standing up, Ji Hanxi raised her eyelids and looked at her sadly, the sadness and unwillingness in her eyes were very real.

"But, he fell in love with someone else, and his heart...can't tolerate me at all."

"Fool, you also said that it is impossible for the two of them. Now that Su Jinnian is married, when Ah Sheng reaches the age of marriage, he will naturally marry a wife and have children. Men are the same, how can there be so much love in this world?" Holy? When it's time to compromise, he will still compromise obediently. Ah Cheng is now in a hot head, and he is heading for a dead end. When he thinks it through, he will find out that you are good..."

Gently patted Ji Hanxi on the back, Lin Haixuan comforted and persuaded, his indifferent and mean face was rare tenderness, that kind of affection did not seem to be fake.

"But he said... let me stop pestering him..."

Speaking of sadness, Ji Hanxi's face was particularly aggrieved. She was originally a proud peacock, and there were countless flattering men around her, but she wanted to ask for trouble, knowing that Being disgusted by others, still clinging to each other and refusing to let go.

Sometimes even she herself feels cheap, but she has no choice. Every time she sees Su Sicheng, she can't help leaning in, leaning in...

"Don't think too much, no matter what, Auntie will stand by your side. A Cheng is my son, I have the final say on some things," holding Ji Hanxi's hand, and clapping it on the palm twice, Lin Haixuan nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, the young daughter-in-law of the Su family, I only recognize you as one."

Hearing what Lin Haixuan said, Ji Hanxi had hope again in an instant, and couldn't help but confirm it again: "Are you serious?!"

Lin Haixuan looked at her with a gentle smile: "When did Auntie lie to you?"

Ji Hanxi finally smiled through tears, hugged Lin Haixuan's arm and rubbed it twice: "Auntie, you are so kind to me!"

"However," Lin Haixuan changed the subject, looked up at the proud banquet heroine in the hall downstairs, and his expression suddenly turned cold, "That shameless little hoof is very cunning, even dare to seduce his own brother, really I don't know what other earth-shattering things will happen, Ah Cheng is completely fascinated by her now, if you want to **** Ah Cheng back, you need to put more thought into it..."

"You said it was Su Jinnian who seduced Ah Sheng? How come... isn't she planning to get married?"

Lin Haixuan's words were nothing less than a blockbuster to Ji Hanxi. She always thought that Ah Cheng had an affair with his sister, and that's why she had unreasonable thoughts about Su Jinnian. After all, based on what she saw and heard , it was Su Sicheng who took the initiative to curry favor.

"You are still too simple. Don't be deceived by that woman's disguise. Think about it, a woman can sacrifice her own marriage. What else can she not do? You don't know the inside story of many things, I But you can see it all clearly.”

Ever since Su Qingyun's accident, Ji Hanxi had heard a little about the grievances between Lin Haixuan and Su Jinnian, and they had a sensitive relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter, so she didn't fully believe Lin Haixuan's slander against Su Jinnian.

However, Lin Haixuan's identity as the wife of the Su family puts it there, and she can indeed know a lot of inside information, so she can't help but not believe it.

Ji Hanxi was a little shaken: "Then, what should I do?"

When the fish took the bait, Lin Haixuan was overjoyed, but couldn't show it on his face, so he helped her straighten her messy long hair carefully, and smiled dotingly: "Don't worry, you just need to know that everything Auntie did , it's all for your own good..."

Hearing these words, Ji Hanxi was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions, and just paid attention secretly.

In that room, Su Jinnian walked around with a glass of wine, and followed Mr. Su to get to know all the famous people in City A. Lu Zongrui thoughtfully helped her stop a lot of wine. She had a perfect smile on her face. But she was very bored, and finally the old man withdrew, so she had time to go outside to breathe.

After all, it is winter, even though it was sunny during the day, it was still a bit cold at night, being blown by the wind, Su Jinnian felt a little dazed, folded his arms and rubbed them lightly a few times.

Suddenly her shoulders felt warm, and someone took off her coat and covered her.

Su Jinnian didn't look up, the coquettish perfume on her clothes was very pungent, and she knew who was coming as soon as she smelled it.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

An Xirong raised her eyebrows, her peach blossom and phoenix eyes were shining brightly, she didn't feel any loss from being hit, but became even more fanatical and crazy.

"I accepted the invitation, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you not to come?"

"It's just an engagement, not a marriage. It's just a formality. To put it bluntly, this engagement banquet is prepared for the marriage between the Su and Lu families. Everyone knows it very well. Why do you use this to mock me?"

"Who said I was mocking you? At least for me, marriage and cooperation are not worth mentioning. In my eyes, the protagonist of this banquet is only you."

An Xirong reached out and gently lifted her chin, carefully scrutinizing that seductive face with exquisite makeup.

I still remember the first time I saw her on the plane. At that time, her dress was very ordinary, and her long bangs almost covered most of her face. It was the kind that was difficult to find in the crowd. Once you close those eyes, you can't move them away.

The second time I saw her was at a blind date banquet. The attire that time was even more unbearable than before. The deliberately ugly attire seemed incompatible with her identity, and she was even ignored by her mother as a passerby, making a lot of jokes .

Afterwards, she transformed little by little, sublimated little by little, from taking off the disguise to putting on another completely different mask, until she created such a luxurious image in front of her eyes.

Like the queen who rules the world.

Su Jinnian didn't push him away either, and let him lift his chin, a contemptuous smile spread out from the corners of his heavily made-up eyes.

"Hua Hua Da Shao is Hua Hua Da Shao, when it comes to sweet talk, it's easy to speak, no wonder those girls are so coaxed by you, you get tired of dumping others, and you talk good things about you everywhere."

An Xirong also chuckled: "When I was dating girls, you didn't follow me, how did you know that I would coax them with sweet words?"

"Does it still need to be followed? I guessed it. Besides, how do you know that I didn't follow you except that time?"

"Because," fingers slowly slid along the delicate skin of the chin to the slender waist, An Xirong lowered his head and leaned in front of Su Jinnian, blowing hot air into her ear, "If you follow her, you will know, I never Don't sweet talk to others...I only say it to you."

"Really?" Su Jinnian sneered slightly, and pushed away this man who could throw a fit anytime and anywhere, "Then you're only so stubborn about Miss Ben?"

An Xirong sighed: "Actually, I have always felt that stalking is a very disreputable thing."

"uh-huh?"

"But if this is the only way to get close to you, I don't mind being less tasteful."

With a smile on his face, Su Jinnian raised his hand to play with An Xirong's long wine-red hair hanging on his shoulders, his eyes passed over his shoulders, and looked at Lu Zongrui who was looking around for her in the hall through a layer of transparent glass.

An Xirong turned her head and glanced at her, and said, "He's looking for you."

"Um."

"Then you won't go in?"

"No."

"Knowing that you agreed to get engaged, I thought you didn't mind that recording, but now it seems that you still do."

Su Jinnian couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Of course I mind, who would like to be played like a monkey?"

"Then you don't want to take revenge on him?"

Su Jinnian raised her eyebrows: "How do you take revenge?"

"Come with me..." An Xirong held her hand, opened the door and walked into the hall, then stooped and ran up the stairs secretly, avoiding everyone's sight, but deliberately wandering back and forth in the corridor for a few minutes circle until Lu Zongrui raised his head and saw them from a distance.

Su Jinnian turned his back to Lu Zongrui, wondering what An Xirong's plan was: "What exactly do you want?"

"Hush—" An Xirong raised his hand to his lips and made a silent gesture, "Don't move yet, he's here to see..."

Aware of that cold gaze, An Xirong deliberately pulled Su Jinnian to stand diagonally to Lu Zongrui, so that from his angle, their posture seemed to be kissing.

"Hey…!"

Before Su Jinnian could react, An Xirong suddenly dragged her into a room.

The engagement banquet this time was still held at the Golden Seal Hotel. Under the entire arched hall, in addition to the lobby where hundreds of banquet tables can be set up, there is also a circle of separate small rooms. In order to take care of Mr. Su's face, the owner of the hotel deliberately set aside a whole floor for Su and Lu to hold engagement banquets, so these private rooms that are often full on weekdays were closed and not opened for business.

An Xirong randomly picked a room and opened the door and walked in, then asked Su Jinnian if he wanted a bracelet, threw it not far from the door, and then closed the door.

Seeing An Xirong complete a series of actions, Su Jinnian guessed his intention after a little association.

"You did this because you wanted to lure Lu Zongrui over, and then let him see us together...doing something that shouldn't be done?"

"Don't you think it's very lethal?" An Xirong hooked the corners of his mouth viciously, raised his hand to unbutton the collar of his shirt, and then messed up Su Jinnian's hairstyle, " When a man is proud of his career and has both money and sex, he bumps into his wife hanging out with others... What do you think? The feeling of this slap on the face, just thinking about it makes you ecstasy, doesn't it?"

Hearing what An Xirong said, Su Jinnian's eyes lit up immediately: "Well, that's a good idea! Why didn't I think of it... Zong Rui is a man with strong self-esteem. If my girlfriend cheats on me, he will definitely I can't take it...haha..."

But any man, no matter what kind of temperament he is, no matter whether the marriage is in name only... as long as he is cuckolded, he probably can't bear it, right?

What's more, this embarrassing thing happened at the engagement banquet.

Marriage is Lu Zongrui's ultimate goal.

Therefore, even if the "adultery" between her and An Xirong was smashed by him, in order not to mess up the banquet, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get angry in front of so many people, and could only knock down his teeth and blood pharynx.

An Xirong's knife was really ruthless!

However, she likes it.

Pushing away a partner who was talking, Lu Zongrui quickly went upstairs, searched back and forth along the corridor twice, and then lived up to everyone's expectations when he saw the bracelet that An Xirong had left on purpose, and obediently took the hook.

Walking slowly over to pick up the bracelet, Lu Zongrui recognized that it was the jewelry Su Jinnian was wearing on his left hand today, and there seemed to be a faint sound coming from the nearest door.

Lu Zongrui frowned, and his solemn face suddenly darkened again.

As if he had made up his mind, he walked over and raised his hand to hold the doorknob, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

The next second, Lu Zongrui suddenly opened the door and saw the two people in the room who separated quickly. Su Jinnian was a little panicked, his face was full of guilty conscience after doing bad things, but An Xirong was not without complacency. She raised her eyebrows, took a step forward to hold Su Jinnian's hand, and looked at him provocatively.

Lu Zongrui only felt his throat tighten, and it took him a long time to make a sound, his tone was as low as Yan Luo who was interrogating innocent souls in hell: "What are you guys doing?"

"Zong Rui...don't get me wrong! Things are not what you think...we just..."

Throwing An Xirong's hand away, Su Jinnian nervously wanted to explain.

However, An Xirong grabbed her hand again, pulled Su Jinnian back into her arms, and said with her beautiful chin raised, "Yes, Mr. Lu, please don't get me wrong, Ling'fiancee and I just couldn't help being in love with each other." Just kissing..."

Lu Zongrui ignored his provocation, and just stared at Su Jinnian's face closely, asking for confirmation word by word: "Jinnian, give me an explanation... as long as it is what you say, I will believe it."

Su Jinnian, however, lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. She leaned back and snuggled up to An Xirong's shoulder. After a long time, she sighed three words.

"…sorry."

"Woo"

An Xirong whistled without fear of death, determined to irritate that man who was as calm and composed as Mount Tai.

This time, Lu Zongrui did not disappoint him, and coldly cursed "Bastard!" Then he strode forward and punched An Xirong's face, which was more beautiful than a woman, with his fist.

I don't know if An Xirong was beaten too much to form a conditioned reflex, or if she was prepared for it. Before Lu Zongrui's fist wind hit, he immediately dodged to the side, and did not forget to gently push Su Jinnian away and place him in a safe place, then abruptly caught Lu Zongrui's fist and dragged him behind, while squeezing Su Jinnian viciously with the other hand He raised his fist and swung it, counterattacking forcefully—

"The **** is you!"

Lu Zongrui was obviously not a vegetarian. After receiving a punch, he doubled his revenge and punched An Xirong twice in the lower abdomen.

The two men, who regarded each other as natural enemies, were full of arrogance. When you come and I fight, Su Jinnian was still trying to persuade the fight at the beginning, but after shouting a few words, it was completely ignored, and then he simply let go and stood with his arms crossed. Watching the show on the sidelines.

It wasn't until An Xirong was thrown heavily to the ground, seeing that tragedy was about to happen, that Su Jinnian spat out, not without contempt: "It's so weak..."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, grabbed Lu Zongrui's wrist, and blocked his fist in the air.

"That's enough Zong Rui! Don't go too far."

Lu Zongrui looked back at her, his eyes were slightly red, and there was a bit of fierceness, mixed with a bit of disbelief, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't: "...What did you say?"

"I told you not to go too far... I didn't want to say it at first, but if you insist on forcing me, I can only confess to you..."

Su Jinnian let go of his hands, knelt down and helped An Xirong up, and then looked directly at Lu Zongrui.

"The reason why I agreed to be engaged to you and to marry the Su and Lu families is because we grew up together, so I helped you. Of course, I don't deny that I also have selfish intentions to win over and use the Lu family, but This is what everyone needs, and there is no contradiction. Marriage, you love me, I don't owe you anything, so I don't need to be responsible to you... Originally, I didn't want to hide anything from you, I just planned to live It will be time to explain clearly to you, but since you have smashed through it now, let me take this opportunity to explain clearly—”

Lu Zongrui tightened his pupils, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "What do you mean?"

Su Jinnian paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it. Naturally, it was impossible to show joy on his slightly cold and delicate face, but there was no struggle or pain, as if he had already made such a plan. .

"You know, I don't love you, so even if we get married, we can't have a deep relationship. I don't like to be bound. It's beyond my imagination to get engaged and married so early, so after the engagement , even after we get married, I hope that we can have our own independent space and not interfere with each other... I know you are nervous about the company, thinking that you will definitely agree to this kind of request, so I didn’t say it too early to make things difficult for you. Of course, If you can't accept it," Su Jinnian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and pointed at the door, "The reporter is right below, you can come forward to break the engagement at any time."

Lu Zongrui didn't have anything to say, and there was a painful convulsion on Ku Rui's face, and he could no longer keep Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his expression.

He lowered his eyes to look at the ground, as if he couldn't bear the indifference in Su Jinnian's eyes.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Su Jinnian with powerless and desperate eyes, and muttered unsound words: "Could it be...you don't want to even try...?"

"Try? Try what? Try to spend the rest of your life with you?" Su Jinnian suddenly laughed softly, his tone becoming more and more contemptuous, "Stop acting! What else are you not satisfied with? As long as Su and Lu get married, zak The crisis of the group can be solved easily, you have got everything you want, why do you have to tie me on your belt to show your ridiculous sense of superiority? Sorry, I will not accompany you."

"What do I want?" Seeing that Su Jinnian turned around and was about to leave, Lu Zongrui grabbed her and suddenly became emotional, "Why are you so sure that what I want is the company, not you?!"

"Why? Hehe... Zong Rui, Zong Rui, I always hoped that you could confess to me. In that case, I might be able to forgive Li, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn... You won't shed tears without seeing the coffin."

Taking out the recording pen with a sneer, Su Jinnian mercilessly smashed it on Lu Zongrui's face, shook his hands and walked away—

"Listen to yourself!"

An Xirong admitted that she was shocked by Su Jinnian's overly domineering behavior just now! Even when Su Jinnian dragged her out the door, she was still in a daze.

Hearing the recording of the transaction between Lu Zongrui and Mr. Su, he thought that Lu Zongrui was already cold-blooded enough, but after Su Jinnian said such sharp words, he had to admit that the woman beside him was even more cold-blooded. Even more ruthless!

That kind of words... Heh, even if Lu Zongrui has the slightest affection for Su Jinnian, he will be hurt badly, right? !

The two of them got out of the gate and got into the car. Only then did An Xirong suddenly come to his senses: "Huh? Are we leaving just like that? Where are we going?"

Su Jinnian twitched the corners of her lips, and said casually, "Go to your house."

"Huh?!" An Xirong said that she couldn't understand Su Jinnian's overly jumpy thinking, "Go to my house? Uh...why?"

Su Jinnian turned around and poked An Xirong, who was injured in the chest and abdomen by Lu Zongrui just now. Seeing the other party wailing and frowning, he felt happy for no reason: "I'm sorry to cause you to be beaten, I will come to your house to help you." Put on the ointment, where did you go?"

Hearing this, An Xirong suddenly looked resentful: "I thought you had a bad conscience and wanted to make it up to me."

Su Jinnian raised her brows: "This lady personally gave you the medicine, isn't that enough compensation?"

An Xirong acted like a good boy even though he was cheap, smiling coquettishly, with an extremely ambiguous expression.

"I don't want this compensation, I want that compensation..."

Of course Su Jinnian knew what he was referring to, so she paused when she heard the words, and just when An Xirong thought she was about to open her mouth to mock herself, she only saw her nodding her head, agreeing happily.

"Okay, I promise you whatever compensation you want."

Now it was An Xirong's turn to feel guilty: "...well, I was wrong... I can't play with you."

"I'm serious!" Su Jinnian laughed, stretched out his hand to caress his face, and leaned closer, eye to eye, nose to nose, "Otherwise, you think that what I just said to Zong Rui is all Are you kidding me?"

An Xirong still couldn't accept this kind of good thing that fell from the sky.

"Even if it's not a joke, it's about you and him, what does it have to do with me?"

Su Jinnian frowned, and gave him a disgusted look: "I said, you are usually full of tricks, and you are so cunning, why do you become stupid when it comes to critical moments? To get revenge on Zong Rui, you are just playing tricks. What's the point, instead of pretending... it's better to play for real."

"For real?"

"Yeah, like... like this..."

Biting An Xirong's lips lightly, Su Jinnian smiled like a fairy who had cultivated for a thousand years.

And in the private room of the Jinxi Hotel, after listening to the entire recording, Lu Zongrui almost had to lean on the table to stand still. He finally knew... why Su Jinnian had such a big change.

In one sentence, heaven and earth, heaven and hell.

Knowing that he was being schemed against, he was still helpless.

The matter had developed to the point where it was already out of control. Even if he confessed the real situation to Su Jinnian, even if he asked Mr. Su to testify, she would not believe it anymore.

What's more, he did account for 30% of the culprit who broke her and Ximen Lie apart.

So... what to do? Next, what should we do?

He is probably the most failed man in the world. At the engagement banquet, he broke his fiancée's intimacy with other men, but he couldn't complain. He even had no reason to stop Su Jinnian from leaving with others face to face. tragic.

If what Su Jinnian said was serious, then it is very possible that in the days to come, when Su Jinnian blatantly cheated on her, he could only look on indifferently, helpless...

If you can't bear it, you can only let it go.

If you can't let go, then you can only endure...

Ah... what a painful realization!

17. God-like male paper!
