"Dad." Xiao Yicheng walked to the stage doubtfully. Gu Yining suddenly turned his head, tears swirling in his eyes, and he was excited to cry. "You're finally here. You're still willing to marry me." Gu Yizhen murmured.
The colorful spotlight hit Xiao Yicheng. He instinctively blocked it with his hand. His eyes were dazzled by the sudden strong light. He half narrowed his eyes and saw that Gu Yining's face was vaguely hung with tears, which was clearly the trace of just crying.
"Everybody, this is my youngest son, Xiao Yicheng." Xiao Hai's face showed shocked joy and took Xiao Yicheng to the front of the stage. Introduced to all the guests, the words were full of pride.
"All of you here are dignitaries in this city. If you can take the time to come here today, it is to give me Xiao's face. The old man wrote it down. Xiao is not talented, and I hope you will pay more attention in the future. If there is a place with poor reception, I hope you will bear more."
"Hello, distinguished guests! Gathering is fate. Welcome to attend the engagement ceremony between Mr. Xiao Yicheng and Miss Gu Yining in your busy schedule!" the master of ceremonies with red bows and pigtails came out of nowhere and smiled at Xiao Hai and Gu Shaohua.
"Oh, look, that's the second young master of the Xiao family. I heard that he just came back from studying abroad a few years ago. Now he has made a lot of achievements in the Xiao family!"
"Really? It's really a talent. Young people have such strong ability. It's really frightening for later generations! Miss Gu is beautiful and moving. It's really a natural couple!"
"Tut tut Tut, it's really a man and a woman. The ancient family and the Xiao family are married. I'm afraid they have become the giants of the city's business. It seems that we should be more careful in the future." "yes, yes."
The guests under the stage talked for a moment. Mr. Xiao stroked his beard, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were full of pride.
The more Xiao Yizheng listened, the more he felt wrong. Where is this business? It was clearly an engagement banquet with Gu Yining. Xiao Yicheng looked at Xiao Hai incredulously, his eyes full of hostility. "What the hell are you doing? What engagement?"
"Ah Cheng, don't be ridiculous! Otherwise what do you think it is? This is your engagement banquet with Ning Ning! What can I do? Go back and talk about it." Xiao Hai lowered his voice. In the corner where no one saw, Xiao Hai quietly beat Xiao Yicheng's leg with a crutch.
"You lied to me!" Xiao Yicheng flushed his eyes and almost roared. Not only anger, but also disappointment, but also a sense of powerlessness that knows the fate but is unable to reverse it.
Since Xiao Yicheng appeared, Gu Yining's eyes have always stayed on him. Although he can't hear what he and master Xiao are talking about, it is obvious that he is very unhappy. Seeing his reaction, Gu Yining's heart seemed to tear open, as if he had eaten a lot of immature fruits, sour and astringent.
Under the leadership of Luo Hongyu and Gu Shaohua, Gu Yining came to Xiao Yicheng. Xiao Yicheng looked straight ahead and couldn't laugh at all.
"My son is quiet and doesn't like to talk much. The two children have been together for several years. The old man's heart is very anxious! Hahaha..." Xiao Hai laughed. He was very energetic, smiled and said positively:
"From now on, the Xiao family and the Gu family are a family. The Xiao family and the Gu family are also a big family. You have me and I have you. We work together and make progress together! In the future, I hope all my colleagues can lend a helping hand and help more. If you don't say much, you can eat and drink well!"
Gu Shaohua and Xiao Hai made official speeches. Except for the "Dad", Xiao Yicheng didn't say a word in the whole process. He deliberately distanced himself from Gu Yining. Although Gu Yining threw lovable eyes at him many times, Xiao Yicheng didn't see it.
Xiao Yicheng finally realized that everything was a fraud. Xiao'an has never been to Xiao's house at all, nor has he said he wanted to find himself. No wonder the girl at the front desk took him directly to this room. It turned out that it had been arranged for a long time. He panicked one after another just to let him come here and get engaged to Gu Yining. He was too simple. He should have thought that all this was false. He could have walked away. I really regret that he didn't listen to ah Qing's words and fell into a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Xiao Yicheng's angry body couldn't stop shaking and his head was dizzy. The guests who forced to support under the stage dispersed and rushed out of the backstage with an arrow.
He left the room as if he had escaped.
"Ah Cheng!" Gu Yining shouted behind and ran after him with a long skirt. Xiao Yizheng went up to stop him. He couldn't stand Xiao Yicheng's youth and strength. He was easily pushed by Xiao Yicheng.
"Ah Cheng! Do you know where it is now!" Xiao Yizheng stepped back and hit the table at the back door of the hotel. He held the door frame with one hand and grinned in pain.
"You lied to me! Where did you get Xiao an?" Xiao Yicheng rushed up and grabbed Xiao Yizheng's collar. He wanted to eat him. Thanks to the two guys who pulled Xiao Yicheng away in time.
"There's no Ye Xiaoan at all! Don't be silly, my silly brother. She'll never come back. All you have to do now is get out of here and finish your engagement with Gu Yining. When you're here, do you think you have any other choice? I don't care if you can be with Gu Yining in the future, but now, you must marry her! Don't waste time!"
"You're really good! Join hands to deceive me, don't you just let me marry Gu Yining? You've taken great pains. Well, now that your goal has been achieved, can I go?" Xiao Yicheng earned the man's hand and straightened his collar.
"Stop, where are you going? It's just opened and you're leaving again? Don't you pay attention to my father?" as soon as master Xiao came to the corridor, he saw what was happening in front of him.
"Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu are still on the stage, I am still here, Gu Yining is still here, you go? Where are you going? You are not allowed to go anywhere! I think you have been too indulgent to you in recent years. No one can control you, can you? I tell you, as long as I am still here, I can't help you being so reckless!
Do you think it's over? It's just for them to see. We have to have a family dinner. You go? We're all here. Did you go? Go back now and don't come out to embarrass me! "
"Dad!" Xiao Yicheng just wanted to speak. Master Xiao compared his hands on his chest and motioned him to shut up. Xiao Yicheng looked back and Gu Shaohua and Luo Hongyu came here.
"What's the matter? Why are you standing here?" Luo Hongyu came out to walk with Gu Shaohua. When he saw the father and son in front of him, he was worried about each other.
"It's all right. Thank you for your concern. I'm in a hurry on Acheng road and feel a little uncomfortable. My father and I have a look. It's no big deal. My wife is worried." Xiao Yizheng answered first.
"Oh, well, come in quickly. It's cold. Don't get caught in the wind here." Luo Hongyu came forward and straightened Xiao Yicheng's tie: "ah Cheng, Ning Ning is still waiting for you! I'll give you my daughter. You should treat her well."
Xiao Yicheng's eyes were dull and nodded numbly.
Follow Xiao Hai back to the lobby. Xiao Yicheng drooped his head like a grateful ball. The palm is still aching because of too much force. People still revel. He doesn't go to Gu Yining. He curls up in the corner alone and looks at the pairs of men and women. Only his soul is lonely.
In ancient times, there were four great joys in life: a long drought, meeting dew, meeting an old friend in a foreign country, a wedding night, and a golden list. It is the dream of many men to marry Miss Gu family. Xiao Yicheng returned with the beauty he wanted, but he was not happy. He kept one side of the world and became a cup greeder without alcohol.
"Don't you like my sister so much?" a low male voice sounded from behind. Xiao Yicheng slowly turned back, and Gu Yizhen stood behind him for a long time.
"Is it you?" Xiao Yicheng smiled. Then drink the wine in a toast.
"Of course it's me. I think you should buy me a drink, because I'm your big brother now." Gu Yizhen put his hands in his pockets and seemed to be talking to Xiao Yicheng, but his eyes kept looking into the distance.
"Just sit down." Xiao Yicheng moved aside and handed Gu Yizhen a wine glass.
"Xiao Yicheng, don't you like my sister so much?" Gu Yizhen approached Xiao Yicheng, and the distance between the two faces was less than 10 cm. "I don't know what's good about you. You deserve her?"
Xiao Yicheng slowly turned his face and faced Gu Yizhen's four eyes. His eyes were as empty as a pool of stagnant water: "I never said I deserve her." he reached into his clothes and fumbled, took out a packet of cigarettes and handed them to Gu Yizhen. Gu Yizhen didn't answer, but just opened the distance from her.
"I really don't know what's good about a man like you. Let Ning Ning and xiao'an like you. If Ning Ning hadn't insisted on marrying you, I would never agree to this marriage."
"Marrying your sister may not be the best thing in the world. She is a good girl and I don't deserve her. You know, it's not my decision. It's Xiao's decision. As for Xiao an, I had my difficulties when I left her." Xiao Yicheng lit a lighter, lit a cigarette and watched the smoke rise up.
"So you're forced? It's ridiculous. You're a dignified young master of the Xiao family. Who doesn't know that you're the son most favored by master Xiao and probably the future successor of Xiao. As long as you don't want to be forced, I'm really unconvinced."
"Successor? Is the successor so good? But I can't help it. Aren't you the same person as me? I ask you, are you happy as the president of gooseberry group? Are you happy in this position? Are you really happy? Our destiny has been set from the beginning. If we have a chance
Have you ever been forced? Do you have anything you don't want to do? Because you haven't been forced to leave your favorite person, what are you qualified to say about me? You haven't felt that feeling, and you will never understand it. I like Ye Xiaoan, before, now and in the future. If I guess correctly, you also like Xiao an, right? Then you should understand it better My feelings. "
This was the first time Xiao Yicheng had a direct conflict with Gu Yizhen, and a series of questions were aggressive. He knows that he is not as easy as ancient times, but emotionally, whoever lets go first loses.
"I don't understand what you said, and I don't want to understand it. What qualifications do you think you have to compete with me? I tell you, ye Xiaoan is my woman. Although we are not together now, we haven't divorced yet. Nominally, she is still my wife. I advise you to put aside your little thoughts. You and my sister are engaged and pay attention to your identity."
"As far as I know, you don't know where xiao'an is now? Well, even if you are still a nominal husband and wife, don't forget that she has no feelings for you. Although I am engaged to your sister, I haven't married her yet. I still have the right to like it."
Xiao Yicheng's words made Gu Yizhen speechless. Gu Yizhen thought that he had really underestimated him before. This man is full of ambition and is far from as simple as it seems.
