The four-leaf clover in her hand was a gift from Maki Shengge and she would wear it no matter what.
Fang Ruoqing, who was supporting Old Master Lin, saw his daughter dressed up like a beautiful princess with a smile on her face.
"Darling daughter, she's so beautiful!"
"Thank you, mother." Lin Huanyan laughed lightly in reply, but his smile only lasted for a moment before sinking again. He felt a little apprehensive as he felt that tonight's banquet wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
Grand hall, elegant melody with dazzling lights. Gu Yanchen, dressed in a black suit, stood in the crowd. His lips held a faint smile, and seemed to be indifferent, as he looked at Old Master Lin who was walking towards him and the expressionless Lin Huanyan. Old Master Lin's legs were useless, although he was not in a wheelchair, but he still had a walking stick in one hand and was supported by Lin Huanyan on the other side.
"Grandfather." Gu Yanchen politely nodded his head and the Old Master Lin responded with a smile. Lin Huanyan, who was at the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly scold him. My grandfather isn't your grandfather.
"Old Master Lin, it has been a long time since we last met. Is your body still healthy?" This time, the one who spoke was a middle-aged woman beside Gu Yanchen. She was dressed in a fur dress and looked noble.
"Madam Gu, I'm really worried about you."
Madam Gu … Lin Huanyan turned his eyes, and his gaze landed on the middle aged woman. She's Gu Yanchen's mother? He looked quite young. Could he be a stepmother? Lin Huanyan was brought into his reverie by his evil thoughts until the Old Master Lin touched her hand and said:
"Huaiyan, this is your Auntie Gu, Yan Chen's mother."
"Greetings, Aunt Gu."
Qin Lan looked at the beautiful and delicate Lin Huanyan in front of him. His future daughter-in-law was also a likeable looking girl.
"Her beautiful face has grown up. She's so cute."
Lin Huanyan's heart was in turmoil, he did not know what to say, and only smiled. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Gu Yanchen looking at him with her narrow eyes. Then, he revealed a playful smile and turned his head to avoid her gaze.
"Yan Chen, bring Huan Yan to get to know more people."
Gu Yanchen put down the champagne in his hands and smiled like a gentleman. He frowned, who did he need to know? He didn't know much about the business, but he had something to explain to him.
Gu Yanchen took the opportunity to support her slender waist. He was startled and wanted to struggle free, but his body was brought into the group of people.
"Old Master Lin, they should wait a bit longer."
"Yes, both children have feelings for each other. I believe that after marriage, they will be able to get along with each other."
Qin Lan nodded in agreement. Seeing that the reporters were almost all here, it was about time.
Gu Yan Chen introduced her to a few people one by one. Lin Huaiyan smiled stiffly in response, completely ignoring their background. Until his surroundings became a little quieter, he leaned to Gu Yan's side and whispered in a low voice:
"Mr. Gu, aren't you tired of putting on a show in front of others?" With that, he broke free from his powerful hand.
"Does Miss Lin think that this is a farce?" Gu Yanchen acted as if he had heard a joke, and his chuckle released an evil aura.
Lin Huanyan sneered.
"Mr. Gu only had a private meeting with the Beauty Hotel yesterday, and today he feigned interest in me in front of the elders.
Gu Yanchen, let's see how you explain what happened yesterday!
Eyes rolling back and forth, he spoke with contempt. Last time, he had won against in terms of aura, and today, Lin Huanyan was going to take back his face. He turned his gaze and a familiar face appeared in the hall.
"Song …" Lin Huanyan was a little surprised. In this kind of occasion, the Gu's actually invited him?
Just as he was about to step forward, a voice came from Gu Yanchen, who had not spoken for a long time.
"Wasn't Miss Lin in private with someone yesterday? Aren't you here to make a fool out of yourself? "
She stopped in her tracks, her watery eyes wide. She could even feel a trace of coldness in her gaze. He knew …
He knew …
Gu Yanchen finally understood the relationship between Maki Shengge and her! Therefore, the fact that the song was coming to this banquet was definitely not as simple as an invitation.
Lin Huanyan turned around and glared at the damned black man. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the soft voice of a woman …
"Mu Feng!"
Mu Feng... Lin Huanyan watched as they entered the hall. She was dressed in a red dress and fur coat, looking cold and elegant. This woman was both unfamiliar and familiar to her. He was unfamiliar, but he had only seen this woman today. He had heard her name so many times before … Xia Feier.
Maki Shengge stopped, and did not turn back to look at Xia Feier.
Xia Feier did not think so, but he still maintained the smile on his face, and stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. She was smiling charmingly, but the handsome man beside her didn't notice.
"Mu Feng, long time no see."
Long time no see … Even if they could always see him on the big screen, he was still not his real person. He would never be able to touch his temperature.
The corner of Maki Shengge's mouth lifted, forming a trace of a cold smile.
"I'm afraid Miss Xia has recognized the wrong person."
Recognizing the wrong person, Xia Feier's heart was filled with self-deprecation. She should have known long ago that she wasn't worthy of mentioning his name … His real name was Chen Mu Feng. Maki Shengge was just his stage name, it could also be said to be his real name after he changed it. Just as no one knew Chen Mu Feng, they also didn't know the story behind this name.
Lin Huanyan had never seen such a Maki Shengge. That kind of sneer that seemed like ridicule, should not be his.
The more he met someone he cared about, the more he could expose his feelings. Lin Huanyan thought that perhaps Xia Feier was still someone that he would never forget. She even felt that, at this moment, they, who stood together, were a famous singer and fashion model, very suitable for each other.
Maki Shengge never thought that Xia Feier would also come to this banquet. He had never interacted with her before. But when he saw Lin Huanyan, who was not far away from him, a ripple appeared in his obsidian eyes.
They looked at each other, but it was only a few steps away.
Gu Yanchen smiled, holding Lin Huanyan's hand, he walked towards the two of them.
Sensing the sudden warmth from his palm, Lin Huanyan was shocked. However, his hand was tightly grasped by his strength, and not a single crack could escape. She thought, Gu Yanchen, this coquettish man, always likes to control her, probably because there's something wrong with his heart, or maybe it's because of a severe obsessive compulsive disorder.
When they were face to face, Lin Huanyan simply could not describe his current feelings. Embarrassment, embarrassment, even fear. If she could, she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
At first, the one who broke the deadlock was Xia Feier. She did not know the relationship between the three of them, but she knew that the new CEO of Gu's had already taken over many companies, and his Gu's was already a powerful enterprise in T City. If she could cooperate with Gu's, or let this CEO Gu notice her, then her future would definitely be dazzling.
Mr. Gu... Maki Shengge chuckled, no wonder...
Gu Yanchen who had Gu's, Lin Huanyan who had Lin's, he should have long thought of was him.
"Yan Yan, let me introduce you." This is Miss Xia Feier, this is Mr. Maki Shengge, I believe you know him. "
Yan Rong's face … This was the first time someone had called her that. Why was it so familiar?
She looked at Gu Yanchen, who was very close to her, with a puzzled and confused expression. Then, it became disdain. He clearly knew of his relationship with Maki Shengge, but he still introduced him so naturally.
"Hello, Miss Lin." Xia Feier replied politely. Everyone in the City knew of the relationship between Lin Huanyan and his family.
"Hello …" Lin Huanyan's response was soft and her beautiful eyes occasionally swept towards the silent Maki Shengge. She saw that his expression didn't change, but he didn't look at her.
Sing, did you misunderstand the relationship between her and Gu Yanchen!?
Lin Huanyan felt that it was difficult to explain himself. In front of so many people, he could only pretend to be unfamiliar with Maki Shengge, but he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to explain it to him.
"The reason I invited the two of you to this Gu's banquet is to discuss the matter of cooperation."
Gu Yanchen's words were as Xia Feier had expected, he casually raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanchen. Lin Huanyan felt that their eyes were strange, as if … The president of the Gentle Singer VS. No no no, Lin Huanyan, what are you thinking?
"I hope the two of you can co-sponsor the Yu Alliance's newly acquired Gu's."
"The endorsement company?" This was the first time Xia Feier had heard such a thing.
"The Yu Alliance Corporation will be transformed into a hotel company. It is most suitable for you two to endorse it."
It's perfect …" Lin Leyan bit her lips. Gu Yan must have investigated the relationship between Xia Fei'er and Mu Shengge. Otherwise, how could he have chosen them as a spokesperson so coincidentally? What did this dangerous man want to do?
"CEO Gu, it's my honor to be the spokesperson for your company's industry."
How could that be? Lin Huanyan felt that he and Maki Shengge were two different people, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What? Mr. Chen, you're not willing?"
"I am indebted to the Mr. Gu's interest. How could I be unwilling?" Maki Shengge responded in a light and neutral tone, his clear eyes looked towards Lin Huanyan, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
To the bystanders, this was just out of courtesy, but to Lin Huanyan, this was an instant of peace. At least, the appearance of Gu Yanchen did not cause a gap between the two of them.
"Yan Yan, let me introduce you to other friends."
Like a tied up puppy, he, Gu Yanchen, was its master and could walk wherever he wanted to go.
Gu Yanchen, you bastard with a knife hidden in your smile, wait till the end of the banquet, let's see how you can act arrogantly!
Although she was forced to let Gu Yanchen lead her by the nose, her gaze had never left Maki Shengge, who was only a few steps away. Unable to hear what Xia Feier said in his ear, he only felt that Xia Feier had a bashful smile on her face. Maki Shengge … He did not refuse to listen to her.
Song, will you waver for her if we meet again?
Seeing someone he liked together with his previous life made him feel bad?
On her delicate little face, her pink cherry lips curled up as she smiled seductively like a blossoming flower. Deep disdain could be seen deep within her spirited eyes.
"CEO Gu, is watching me make fun of you? Your hobbies are too cheap! "
After all, she was a daughter of a famous birth. If she wasn't forced into a corner, she wouldn't scold a CEO like this. Lin Huanyan felt that it was strange, what exactly was Gu Yanchen planning? He had fame and wealth, and he had plenty of them. Women, even more so, don't tell her that you like her. If you really want to marry her, then she would rather go to the Yellow River!
"Yan Yan, I don't like girls who speak rudely." His devilish face still held a smile, Lin Huanyan almost couldn't control his desire to pour the champagne on this beautiful leather bag. Yan Yan, it sounds weird!
I …" "I don't care what kind of girl you like, if you want to say something, you will have to swallow it down." Lin Leyan looked at the reporters and wondered in her heart.
"Next, we would like to invite Madam Gu, who has the Gu's, to say a few words."
Unknowingly, the graceful melody had stopped. Qin Lan walked up to the stage gracefully and looked at the Old Master Lin, his gaze turning to Lin Huanyan and Gu Yanchen who were standing together. His amiable smile carried some meaning that Lin Huanyan did not understand.
"I am extremely grateful to all of you for participating in this Gu's banquet, however … Rather than calling it a banquet, it would be more accurate to call it an engagement banquet. "
"Engagement …"
As soon as Qin Lan finished speaking, all the guests were surprised, and some of the reporters went up to take their pictures.
Engagement... Whose engagement party? Lin Huanyan pouted. His mind spun, could it be … As he thought of this, his pupils enlarged, and his pouting mouth slowly opened.
"Is the engagement banquet that Madam Gu mentioned referring to CEO Gu and Miss Lin's?" a reporter asked.
Without waiting for a response, another reporter began asking:
"I knew that CEO Gu and Miss Lin's had a marriage since childhood. After today's engagement ceremony, when will the wedding be held?"
Lin Huanyan found it hard to breathe, and his head was spinning.
At that moment, Qin Lan was not the only one being surrounded by reporters, the people involved were also the childhood sweethearts.
"Yes, today is their engagement banquet." Qin Lan's response was without a doubt. Lin Huanyan looked at her grandfather at the side, and felt that this banquet was just a scam. Her grandfather had sold her out!
"Mr. Gu, Miss Lin, when is the wedding?" After proving that the two of them were the main characters of the engagement, the reporters began to ask about the wedding.
However, in just a few minutes, Lin Huanyan had changed.
"The wedding is scheduled for the seventh of next month."
On the seventh of the next month, Lin Huanyan glared fiercely at the man who had forcefully coiled himself in his embrace. Hearing his dignified reply, she could do nothing but stare in shock.
"You …" The moment Lin Huanyan opened his mouth, he did not know what to say to this man. However, he held her even more tightly as he leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice:
"Yan Yan will bear to see your grandfather lose face?"
Grandpa... Gu Yanchen immediately grabbed her vital points. That's right, there were so many reporters here. If she said that she was not willing or not willing, what would happen to her grandfather? How much trouble would he bring to the Lin's?
However, if she were to accept this engagement banquet, then she …
That's right, song!
Lin Huanyan's panicked eyes wanted to pass through the crowd to look at that person, but when she saw Maki Shengge puckering her lips, the depths of her eyes became unfathomable. Song, believe me... It was hard to say, but Lin Huanyan hoped that he would be able to see through her pleading eyes.
"Everyone, I will answer all related matters after the banquet ends. Now, let's have our main character dance for you tonight. " Madam Gu's smile was filled with satisfaction, and her grandfather nodded his head. Everyone's gaze was filled with blessings. Lin Huanyan was simply too deep for tears, and was dragged to the center of the dance floor by Gu Yanchen's hand. When the music started, his hand had already passed through her back and rested on her waist.
Under the dazzling diamond chandelier, Gu Yanchen's flawless face started to blur in her eyes. She also didn't know whether the woman being led into the dance was herself or not.
Waltz. She had never danced with anyone she liked before, and at that moment, she forced herself to dance with the man she hated the most since she was born.
From time to time, he turned back to look at the entrance of the hall. Maki Shengge was nowhere to be seen. Even Xia Feier had disappeared.
"In the future, Mrs Gu, please seriously dance."
As if punishing her with "looking left and right", the hand placed on her waist couldn't help but tighten, causing Lin Huanyan to feel pain.
"Gu Yanchen, you bastard!"
Lin Huanyan gnashed his teeth, why does it look like this man had victory in his grasp at all times?
"My pleasure."
To be scolded and honored! Exquisite, Lin Huanyan could only use this word to describe it.
Gu, you're being heartless first. Don't blame me for being heartless. Do you think you're the only one who would ask a reporter to make a litter? Well, let's see how you'll be able to marry me if I release those pictures of you!
Lin Residence.
"Madam, the Master and the Miss are back."
Fang Ruoqing welcomed the two with a smile, but when he saw the difference between the two of them, there was a huge difference. The corner of Old Master Lin's eyes held a smile, and one could tell that he was uncontrollably happy; Lin Huanyan, on the other hand, had a lifeless look in his eyes, and a sense of loss that had never existed in his heart before.
"What's wrong with the baby? Aren't you happy that you're engaged? "
Fang Ruoqing did not understand, but looking at Lin Huanyan's pampered eyes, he still had a smile on his face. Lin Huanyan shook his head, not knowing how to explain to his mother.
"No, I just feel that the engagement banquet tonight was too sudden. Both you and dad didn't attend, this …"
Lin Huanyan was curious, because his father had passed away early, Gu Yanchen only had Mother Gu at home; but as for himself, his parents were still alive, but his grandfather was the only one who attended the engagement ceremony.
Fang Ruoqing's expression changed, he knew that his own daughter was angry, he extended a hand to stroke his daughter's soft hair and laughed:
"Huaiyan, the engagement was also decided on at the last minute by the Gu family. They originally wanted to wait for your father's return from abroad, but for some reason, the Gu family decided to change the engagement banquet to today's one and a half month later. I just got to know about the engagement on TV. "
Is that so … Lin Huanyan did not understand, was everything really so sudden?
The Gu family, since when did Lin's listen to the Gu family. The Gu family had made a temporary decision. Heh … Was marriage a temporary decision?
"Do you really want me to marry Gu Yanchen that much?"
Not expecting Lin Huanyan to ask such a question, both Fang Ruoqing and Old Master Lin were startled, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet. Lin Huanyan smiled bitterly, nodded, and casually untied his hair. His long black hair flowed down his shoulders in an instant, and without saying anything else, he went straight upstairs.
Only the two of them looked at each other and no longer said anything.
As she played his song, it was like a clear pool of water pouring into her heart, making her miss him.
Song, why didn't you pick up the phone and not even listen to the explanation?
He called again, but the call was still the same. Lin Huanyan could only send him a voice message, hoping that he could hear …
"Heh, I really didn't know it would be like this tonight. Believe me, I've never thought of marrying that person. And … After class tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the same place. Whether you come or not, I'll continue to wait. "
After waiting for a long time, the phone still did not ring. Lin Huanyan thought about Xia Feier who suddenly appeared tonight, and at the same time, asked two people to speak for him. What did he want, was for Xia Feier and Ge Lao's relationship to rekindle, and then for him to be abandoned!
"Damned Gu Yanchen, do I have enmity with you?!"
"Answer the phone, answer the phone. Lu Dier is also calling …" His phone suddenly rang with a soprano, but Lin Huanyan was not happy with the response, it was because the bell only symbolized that Lu Dier was calling.
"Please, why did you change my ringtone?" Without waiting for the other party to speak, Lin Huanyan had already started to lose patience.
"Please, that bell of yours is too common. I don't care about anyone else, but I'm going to let you know the moment I call! Heh heh … Speaking of which, was tonight's news true? You're really engaged! "
Could it be that it's not real? Could it be that it's cooked … Lin Huanyan replied with a "En".
"Lin Huanyan, what do you want me to say to your stupid brain! Don't you always have photos in your hands that you can't beat? " Lu Dier was also speechless, obviously such an important piece of evidence could make Lin Huanyan turn his body around.
"I can't take out that photo. He, Gu Yanchen, is shameless, I can't afford to lose it … In the morning, I will go to him again and exchange the photos for the cancellation of the wedding. If he agrees, then it will be settled peacefully. If he does not, then I will release the light to the media and settle the matter by force! "
The last few words, Lu Dier felt chills down his spine. This girl, her methods were pretty ruthless.
"It sounds useful, but I think you should do one more thing."
"What?" Lin Huanyan was in a mess. No matter what method he used, as long as he could stop the wedding, it would be fine.
Then, when he heard Lu Dier's words, Lin Huanyan froze …
"Didn't you say that the photo was taken in a hotel …?" Go and find out who the woman who entered the hotel with Gu Yanchen was. If necessary, you can use money to make that woman … You don't need me to say it to me to understand later on, right? "
Check out that woman from that day … Lin Huanyan couldn't sleep at all, why did it seem like he was going to catch a traitor?
So what if they found out, give her money to testify against Gu Yanchen. Raise her? Ridiculous, who would give away such a long journey of "money", just for this small amount of money!
Just as he was thinking about how to trade with Gu Yanchen, a colorful letter appeared on the screen. The number was not recognized. Blurred at an unknown location, clearly in... In the photo, the two people who were kissing intimately had very clear facial features, with each angle clearly captured. From the looks of it, the person taking the photos was very skilled!
Lin Huanyan bit her lips tightly. Ge, is this the reason why you didn't pick up my phone? Being with Xia Feier was so intimate.
The following call naturally came from an unfamiliar number. Lin Huanyan's nails dug into his palms as he took the call or not …
"Hello."
In the end, she still answered the phone. She wanted to know who sent the photo and what was the purpose of it.
"Yan Yan, are you satisfied with the picture you saw?" The other party's voice sounded hoarse and lazy, giving off the impression that he was lost.
Lin Huanyan frowned, it really was this man!
"Gu Yanchen, are you a ghost?!" Otherwise, why would he keep pestering her?
The only sound that came from the phone was the man's soft chuckle. She resisted the urge to curse and tried her best to calm down.
"What do you want to do?"
He knew his relationship with the song, so if he sent a photo like this saying that there was no purpose, who would believe it!
"Mm …" The other party's frivolous tone seemed to be deep in thought, yet it also seemed like he was deliberately teasing her.
"Yan Yan, you were at the hotel that day as well."
The hotel forgot to mention Lin Huanyan. Did he know that she had an indecent photograph of him in her hands? Actually, that wasn't anything disgraceful either, it was just that Lin Huanyan was already filled with disgust when he saw Gu Yanchen's current state.
"You want to use me to steal? The photos were taken in exchange? "
Mr. Gu, you sure know how to do business. The photo of her wanting to exchange freedom was taken by him and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
"It's not good to secretly take pictures, Yan Yan."
He was teaching her?
