Will you betray me?
I was stunned, and my heart sank.
Seeing me walk in, Zhong Ruoqing didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. She stood up unhurriedly, and smiled at me with a hint of provocation.
"F * ck!" What was the point of singing like this? I was angered, "Zhong Ruoqing, what nonsense are you farting about! Stop pretending to be a white lotus in front of me and get out! "
Zhong Ruoqing ran out of the room crying.
Play, continue acting!
I slammed the door, turned around and walked to the bedside, and snappily said to Lou Shaotang who was still feigning death: "What, you're still not willing to get up after being hugged so much? "Your family's Qingqing has already been angered by me to leave."
Lou Shaotang opened his eyes and stared at me with eyes as sharp as an arrow. I think that it was my attitude towards Zhong Ruoqing that angered him. I don't know why, but my heart felt like it had been stung by a bee, painful and astringent.
I expected him to be angry with me, but instead he closed his eyes again without a word.
I was a little taken aback.
The quiet room calmed me down gradually. I couldn't understand why I was so angry just now. It was really weird!
I went to the bathroom and showered to calm myself down.
When I finished washing up, I looked at the bed again. Lou Shaotang was still in his original position, probably sleeping. I turned off the light and lay down on the sofa, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. When I thought of tomorrow night as the old man's birthday feast, I felt a faint unease in my heart. I felt like something bad was going to happen.
The old gramps' 80th birthday was a grand occasion in Lou Family. In the evening, other than me, everyone else had already gone to Tianyue Hotel to prepare, including the outsider Zhong Ruoqing.
I stood at the dressing table and applied my lipstick at a leisurely pace. I felt my stomach churning at the prospect of seeing so many fake faces in the future, one by one, strenuously performing.
Just as I was worrying about this, Lou Shaotang's voice that didn't have a single ripple sounded out from behind me, "Tu Ying, will you betray me?"
I was stunned, I stopped what I was doing and looked at Lou Shaotang in the mirror.
His face was cool, and his cold eyes were fixed on mine as if he were trying to see through me.
"Why do you ask?" I thought it was strange that he had never believed me and had always stressed that we were in a business relationship.
"Answer me, will you?" His voice was still cold, but he was determined to get the answer.
I don't understand what he's really sticking to. He doesn't believe me, what's the point of saying so much?!
I bitterly smiled in my heart as I put away my lipstick and turned around to smile at him. "Lou Shaotang, aren't we just doing business here?
Lou Shaotang's pupils constricted. His face sunk and his tight lips became even colder.
I felt uncomfortable under his cold stare, stifled by the cold, stuffy atmosphere.
I took a deep breath and picked up my handbag. "It's time, I should go."
Just as his hand was locking the door, he was stopped by Lou Shaotang, "Tu Ying."
My heart skipped a beat and I half turned around, pretending to be calm. "What?"
Lou Shaotang looked at me steadily. "I'm fine."
His voice was so cold that I gathered up my shawl and walked out of the room.
I sat down in my seat and took out my cell phone to reconfirm the picture of the girl downstairs. A high-pitched female voice slid into my ear.
"Yo, a rare guest!"
I am not unfamiliar with this weird tone of voice, it is Second Uncle Lou Yuanhai's wife, Xia Peiyun.
I put away my cell phone and looked up to see that she was already sitting next to me. I smiled at her and politely called out, "Second Aunt."
"It's the sun rising in the west today. I didn't expect you to come as well."
Xia Peiyun said in a mocking tone. The reason why she said that was because I would normally not participate in Lou Family's family banquet.
"I'm here on behalf of Shao Tang."
Xia Peiyun laughed with contempt, she glanced towards the center of the field and her face immediately darkened, "Hmph, look at how pleased she is with herself, she doesn't even know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
I looked at where she was looking at, and she was actually talking about Xu Manli. This morning, the Old Master told everyone that she was going to announce the transfer of the shares. Xu Manli was extremely excited.
I looked at Xia Peiyun, she was so jealous that her eyes were about to spew fire.
I looked down on her in my heart, but I smiled on the surface. "Second Aunt, what is there to be angry about? Didn't Second Uncle also share a part of it?"
Xia Peiyun was unhappy to hear that, her brows raised, "Your second uncle deserved it, after all these years he worked so hard for 'Tianyue', what did the prodigal son do? A piece of trash! "
I chuckled, "But no matter how useless he is, he's the only grandson Lou Family can rely on right now."
"Pui!" Is he living on?! " Xia Peiyun was so angry that she drank some tea and said, "If it wasn't for Zhong Tang's blessing, he wouldn't even be here!" After she finished speaking, a trace of sadness surfaced on her face.
The Zhong Tang that Xia Peiyun had mentioned was completely called Lou Zhongchang, the son of her and Lou Yuanhai. Unfortunately, they had lost each other when they were three years old. Although they had given birth to a child later on, they were actually daughters. The old gramps was a patriarch who valued his sons more than his daughters, so the distribution of wealth naturally didn't include his granddaughter. It couldn't be blamed on her to be angry.
I didn't reply, but instead looked around the hall, seeing that Shen Yiru was at another table chatting with a few noble ladies while Zhong Ruoqing, who was usually inseparable from her, was nowhere to be seen. I was a little curious, but I didn't have time to think about it too much, since we only had twenty minutes left, I needed to go to the sound control room as soon as possible and copy the photos and disks of Ji Tang onto the backstage computer.
I made an excuse to tell Xia Peiyun to go to the bathroom, then stood up and walked towards the sound control room. As I walked, I took out my phone and opened the photo album.
All of Lou Cheng's photos were gone!
