After leaving the restaurant, Su Changhen could hardly restrain the smile on his face.
He also didn't expect that Yin Lian would take the initiative to speak out against Shen Lu.
But after laughing, there was a feeling of emptiness again.
Yin Lian stood from the standpoint of an author and refuted Shen Lu's deliberately distorted interpretation of "The Golden Jade Lock". Su Changhen also realized that this businessman Shen might have a good impression of Yin Lian. Su Changhen was different from Shen Lu. He knew that Yin Lian was covered in burns, but he had never actually seen her true appearance under her gauze hat. He always felt that he knew that the other person might care, so he couldn't bring up something that might hurt the other person. requirements.
He didn't know what she looked like, but he knew what kind of person she was. He did reference a bit of Yin Lian's image at the beginning to add the character of the heroine, because when Miss Zeng appeared, she was really like a ray of light - especially in sharp contrast to the other Miss Zeng.
Su Changhen had no idea about Yin Lian at first. He admits that all the men in the world are obsessed with appearance, and he also admits that he is just an ordinary man. He is grateful to the other man, but has no feelings for the girl.
But as time passed and the two parties came into contact more and more, his mood changed greatly. He slowly developed an admiration for Zeng Erya, a completely nonsexual admiration. Rather than thinking of it as a woman, it is better to think of it as an angel.
The image of Yin Lian gradually merged with the heroine in his works. He would imagine her beauty, her grace. Objectively, Su Changhen knew that Yin Lian's appearance at this time was very tragic, but in his heart, he always felt that Yin Lian's true appearance should be like that of a heroine.
...The scars are just small flaws, but her true appearance will always be stunning.
Is this lustful? Su Changhen didn't know.
But what Yin Lian said to Shen Lu really made Su Changhen have mixed feelings: "Mr. Shen, I don't think there is anything wrong with beauty, because I also like beauty. Although I may be laughed at for saying this, I am Before she was burned, she was also very beautiful. There is nothing wrong with admiring beauty. It depends on what this admiration will lead to. Is it murder and arson, or is it loyalty? If it is the latter, isn't it a good talk? "
"Besides, I think looking at people is like reading a story. It's not a painting, but a journey. Don't look at how miserable he is now, but look at where he can go in the end."
When Yin Lian said these words, he was not very angry, on the contrary, he was very rational. Although this kind of rationality is a reflection of her business talents and good qualities, it also shows that she does not maintain any special feelings for Su Changhen, but is just a fair and rational defense of her friends.
This is also the source of Su Changhen's emptiness.
But at the same time, when Yin Lian said, "It depends on where he goes in the end," Su Changhen felt an exciting feeling of being recognized, excited that his talents and future were recognized and expected.
This meal with Shen Lu completely dispelled any thoughts Su Changhen might have about Yin Lian. In fact, although he felt aggrieved at the time, Su Changhen later agreed with many of Shen Lu's harsh words.
For example, he cannot give Miss Zeng Erya a life worthy of her status. For another example, he may not always be able to maintain the character of being unwavering and supportive even in the face of the hurt she suffered.
Su Changhen gave up decisively, but he didn't know that after this meal, Shen Lu was the one who was shaken the most.
Because before that, Shen Lu didn't even realize that he had developed a crush on an extremely ugly little girl.
Moreover, he was still very graceless at that time, as if he had lost his mind and attacked Su Changhen in all aspects. Although his attack was relatively subtle due to his long-term behavior, Yin Lian could undoubtedly see the lack of composure hidden under the calm surface.
"...It's too ugly."
Shen Lu said to himself, and then he adjusted his mentality and regained his previous rationality and calmness in the subsequent cooperation.
But in the process, he also conducted a more subtle and measured test of Yin Lian.
Although the temptations were still relatively obscure, with Yin Lian's familiarity with him, he quickly understood the true intentions behind these temptations.
But this made Yin Lian feel incredible.
When Shen Lu hinted again, Yin Lian suddenly took off his hat and said, "Mr. Shen, when you look at the scars on my face... do you find it scary?"
Shen Lu stared at her face for a few seconds, but did not look away and said, "If you look at it for a long time, it's actually quite pleasing to the eye."
Yin Lian said unceremoniously: "I heard that you have several concubines in your family, and they are all beautiful."
Shen Lu asked: "Do you care about this? If you care..."
Yin Lian interrupted him with a rare rudeness and said: "Mr. Shen himself is handsome. I actually don't hate you, but I don't like to look in the mirror because these scars are really scary...ugly..."
Shen Lu: "...I don't care."
Yin Lian said: "I care a lot because I can't understand you. I think since Mr. Shen has beautiful concubines in his family, his perception of beauty should be normal. So if you say something like this, it will make me doubt whether you value it. I still value the technology at hand and the assets behind it.”
Shen Lu didn't expect that she would say such a thing. Apart from being stunned, he was really a little offended.
He said solemnly: "If my current property is used for a normal life and is not used for some wasteful investments, at the current prices, I can live a luxurious life at the level of a minister for ten lifetimes. Zeng Erya, I have never thought about marrying for money. A wife, because no matter how much money I have, I can make it on my own.”
Yin Lian was aware of his assets and abilities, so after a pause, he said, "Sorry, I'm rude."
Shen Lu said: "Although you may not believe it...but I really like you. I don't think you are ugly, and I would rather talk to you face to face for several hours than go back and have sex with those women." Stare for a quarter of an hour."
Yin Lian really didn't believe it. When Shen Lu said this, his tone was very sincere. But Yin Lian herself is a face control person. She rarely looks in the mirror when applying special effects makeup, and if she sees one, she will immediately look away. Therefore, I am afraid that the people around her are more pleased with these scars than she is.
But she couldn't detect any flaws in Shen Lu's tone, so she felt this matter was even more ridiculous. Therefore, when faced with Shen Lu's words of approaching confession, she chose to avoid the easy matter and said, "You don't like them, why do you want to marry them?"
Shen Lu said, "I was not the one who wanted to marry... and there may not have been a wedding ceremony." Then he said softly, "If you are unhappy, I will have them sent away, okay?"
Yin Lian quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no! Mr. Shen, please don't do this. I... am not yours, and I don't mean anything to you. I must not affect your family affairs."
To be honest, Shen Lu's ability to do such a big business is very good. He has a good appearance and a good character. Logically speaking, there is nothing to choose from. However, Yin Lian has no intention of falling in love in this era, so it is definitely impossible for him to agree.
She just found it unbelievable - Yin Lian was very knowledgeable about her appearance, and felt that she was at a level that could make people faint with lust. But this time she went into battle with a disfigured face. She felt hurt when she looked in the mirror occasionally. She really couldn't believe that she could still attract handsome men like this.
She didn't know whether to believe in her own charisma or not.
But no matter what, rejection was the only tactic she could take. In addition, this era may not be particular, but Yin Lian's biological age (at least it looks like) is still underage. If Yin Huai finds out about this, he will probably be furious.
But although Yin Lian's refusal was clear, Shen Lu did not give up easily. On the contrary, because Shen Lu had clearly realized his feelings and made his intentions clear to Yin Lian, Shen Lu's next behavior became more upright.
His pursuit method at the beginning was also old-fashioned. Although he probably thought it was very trendy and new, in Yin Lian's opinion, it was simply tacky.
But Shen Lu has one advantage over the boys who pursued Yin Lian in the past, that is, he is knowledgeable enough.
When Yin Lian arrived at the editorial office that day, she found that someone had given her a bouquet of flowers. The bouquet came with a small card, but it was not signed, but Yin Lian effortlessly guessed the identity of the sender.
The card read "To Miss Zeng Erya: Roses for a beautiful and interesting soul. Your insignificant admirer"
He kept a very low profile and did not use his wealth to force others. Even though he sent flowers, he did not reveal his identity, thus avoiding others' speculation. In fact, if the person wasn't Yin Lian, Shen Lu wouldn't mind pursuing him openly, but just because it was Yin Lian, he chose this way of sending flowers.
Yin Lian has never been shy about admitting her disfigurement to others. Although Shen Lu doesn't know how many people around her have seen her true appearance, she also knows that if she pursues her in a big way, it will definitely attract criticism and speculation from many people. And with Yin Lian's usual style, although her business is now quite large, most of the time she doesn't like to publicize her assets to others. Instead, she likes to hide behind agents or partners and act secretly.
She is not shy about using her status to impress others, but only when necessary.
In fact, Shen Lu has never pursued anyone else. He did have some understanding of the methods used by ordinary people to pursue women, but when it came to himself, he tried to learn, but he denied many of the methods.
He is a successful businessman with extraordinary social skills and a good understanding of the world. After thinking about the way young men and women interact, he feels that there are many things that make people uncomfortable. It is said that loyal girls are afraid of stalking, but in Shen Lu's view, stalking is useful for some people, but it only identifies the other person's immaturity, or forces the other person to tolerate his immaturity, which is not advisable at all.
In this sentence, the only thing worthy of approval is the hidden word "persistence".
In contrast, flower sending, which has emerged in recent years, is romantic and beautiful. Rose has a strong fragrance and is as smooth as silk, which is probably what girls like.
He tried it out.
When Yin Lian received the flowers, she actually had a complicated mood. However, Shen Lu's movements were obscure and his posture was low, leaving no chance for everyone to cheer. His vague words also made many people think that he was just a fan who ignored his appearance and admired Yin Lian's character, but it did not bring her any joy. Too much trouble.
But even so, she still showed her refusal.
This anonymous flower delivery only lasted for two days and then stopped. The flower-giver was not seen on the third day, and Li Lici playfully laughed at the suitor for not persisting. However, when they met, Shen Lu gave Yin Lian a small gift.
Yin Lian wanted to refuse, but Shen Lu said: "It's just a souvenir as a partner. It's not something ambiguous, you can open it and take a look."
Yin Lian reached out and opened the paper bag and took a look, only to find a porcelain rabbit.
Porcelain works are not expensive in theory, but the one in Yin Lian's hand is unusually lively and vivid, almost as if it has come to life. Although Yin Lian has never shown his girlish heart, it is not that he is not absent.
Just because it is not precious, Shen Lu's intention is particularly touching.
