Qingding Hotel in Shanghai is a famous five-star hotel in the country and even the world. Although there is a six-star restaurant next door, it is far less famous than hers.
Qingding Hotel was built more than a hundred years ago and has witnessed China's rebirth and great development, sending away batches of powerful international figures. To this day, her value cannot be measured by money.
Shen Lang entered this historical monument for the first time with a trembling heart. To this end, he did not hesitate to use his greatest efforts and greatest human resources. Xu Ying, who was walking with him, was even more moved. Coming from a wealthy businessman family, she has no shortage of opportunities to get in touch with top dignitaries, and she knows how much effort her boyfriend has put into him.
Experiencing Qingding Hotel for the first time always gives people a spiritual sublimation. The lamps, windows, floors, chairs, walls, halls, tables, and even curtains, doors, bowls and chopsticks are all full of profound historical heritage.
However, Shen Lang didn't take a second look at the photos on the celebrity wall or the events in the history gallery. The table he reserved was in the lobby, a semi-open-air booth by the window. After taking his seat, his eyes kept scanning the entrance door and the private room upstairs.
In the private room on the second floor, guests from the Qin and Chu families were enjoying themselves. Chen Mu, who was just a companion, came to the conclusion that the Chu family's young master was completely unworthy of the woman. Not only because of his vulgar personality and ugly appearance, but more importantly because of his many flaws.
However, Mr. Chu's shortcomings turned into advantages in Chu's mother's mouth, for example: "Qin Yao, if you marry into our Chu family, no one will dare to bully you, apart from other things. Look at Chu Ming's Eyes are evidence of safety.
He was only eighteen years old at that time, and he followed the secret army to perform tasks at the border. Facing an ambush with ten times more enemies and a narrow escape from death, thanks to Ming'er's bravery and wit, she only sacrificed her eyes and turned defeat into victory. "
Qin Yao was stunned: "Eighteen years old? Isn't it the age when you just entered college?"
"What kind of university should I go to? I am useless as a scholar. I will join the army tomorrow when I am fifteen. In order to protect my family and country, I have carried out dangerous missions no less than a hundred times and been seriously injured several times. In just ten years, I have become a regiment-level cadre. Among the disciples in the circle, there is no one more powerful than him.”
Everyone realized that the total meaning was that Chu Ming had not read much at all. I'm afraid this military honor is also due to family connections.
"Yao Yao, do you have any questions?"
Qin's mother hesitated a little, obviously wanting to remind her daughter to stick to her own opinion. Although she and Qin's father were married together at the beginning, and each had a sweetheart before the marriage, they hardly communicated with each other after the marriage, and it was not until Qin Yao was born that they slowly merged. Although I have some regrets now, I can still be considered happy.
But she didn't want this kind of thing to happen to her daughter. Especially the marriage partner is far worse than the original father of Qin. He is not required to be gentle and talented, but he must be able to tolerate it.
However, Qin Yao's answer shocked Qin's mother.
"I don't have any objections. It all depends on my parents' arrangements."
Qin Yao said it without joy or sorrow, with a polite smile on her face, leaving Qin's mother with no excuse for delaying.
"Haha, since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers, but now it still depends on individual voluntariness. Since Yaoyao and Chu Ming have no objections, I think this matter is settled. Choose a good and auspicious day, and we will officially become in-laws. "
Father Qin actually cares about what his children think, but no matter what aspect, he has no reason to refuse. The marriage between the two families is not only beneficial to his promotion, but also in the overall interests of the Qin family. What's more, he liked Chu Ming, a tough-minded soldier and a young man with outstanding military exploits.
"Then you decide, I'll go to the bathroom."
Qin Yao looked resigned to her fate without any complaints, and still stood up with a smile on her face.
Chen Mu's thoughts were uneasy, Qin Yao's dejected and indifferent attitude would make anyone who knew about it feel distressed. Seeing the other party leaving, he said nothing. He probably waited until the other party returned, then whispered to Li Luo and left the box.
Observing from the second floor, Chen Mu could easily see that Xu Ying was sitting alone in a compartment on the first floor, and opposite her was a pair of used tableware.
Xu Ying's arrival was unexpected by Chen Mu, but he was also sure that Shen Lang would be there. After asking for the direction to the bathroom, he quickly went there, but heard a conversation at the corner of the corridor.
"Qin Yao, do you really want to marry that Mr. Chu?"
"What, you have an opinion?"
"You may not know that Chu Ming is a scumbag. I have investigated and found out that he has played with countless women, and he likes the new and hates the old. He even doesn't let go of his friends' wives. He even robbed college students and was resisted by them. Poke your eyes out."
"so what?"
Shen Lang was speechless, straightened his neck and said: "In short, you can't marry him."
"If you don't marry him, will you marry me?"
This time, Shen Lang was silent. Qin Yao was disheartened and seemed to be making a final struggle: "This is a marriage between two families, and the parents of both parties have already agreed on the wedding date. But I don't care about any famous family, Shen Lang, if you want me, even if it's just Shameful lover, I am also willing to go with you.
Do you dare to take me away? "
Shen Lang froze on the spot and almost agreed. But he knew that he couldn't. As Qin Yao said, this was a marriage between two families, and the other party was a top powerful person. What he can give to Qin Yao, he will not begrudge, but what the other party can give to Qin Yao is out of his reach.
"I'm sorry, Qin Yao, I don't want to hurt you."
"Coward, you are a coward, a complete coward."
Upon hearing the answer, Qin Yao's face was full of sarcasm. Without looking at Shen Lang again, he turned around and left decisively. This ending was not what she expected and what she wanted. Her target is Chen Mu behind the corner.
Chen Mu felt something was stuck in his heart, so he returned to the box first, and Qin Yao came in next.
Chen Muzheng was thinking about a plan to destroy the marriage between the two families, but Qin Yao stopped at the door and stood there looking at him.
"Young Master Wang, did you call Shen Lang here?"
"ah?"
Chen Mu was distracted and didn't hear clearly what Qin Yao asked. People in the room also raised their heads, wondering what Qin Yao meant.
"If this is your plan, then you are a coward."
Chen Mu was wronged. He did know about Shen Lang's arrival, but it had nothing to do with him.
"Yao Yao, what are you talking about? Come sit next to me."
Qin's mother was chatting happily with her in-laws. She was very surprised when she saw Qin Yao suddenly changed into a different person. For fear that her daughter would behave irrationally, she quickly told the other person to sit back.
Qin Yao turned a deaf ear and ignored the surprised looks of everyone, staring at Chen Mu and asking: "Are you still a man? You want my body but you dare not admit it. You promised to solve the marriage for me, but you found another coward. humiliate me."
"How could such a thing happen!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and countless pairs of angry eyes turned to Chen Mu. Chen Mu was shocked. He really didn't expect Qin Yao to have a sudden attack and say such words to his face.
"I just want to ask you, are you still responsible?"
Chen Mu wanted to explain to Li Luo, but Qin Yao continued to question him.
Snapped!
"Boy, is everything my daughter said true?"
Qin's father slapped the case and stood up, his eyes full of anger as if he wanted to eat someone. Chen Mu may not care about the attitude of the characters in the dream, but Li Luo must explain clearly. Unfortunately, he didn't know where to start.
"Uncle Qin, things are not what you think. Everyone, please calm down and allow me to explain clearly the cause and effect to everyone."
"Cowards, they are all cowards."
"Yao Yao"
Without waiting for Chen Mu to explain, Qin Yao hissed, cursed, turned and left the private room. Qin's mother was worried and immediately chased her out.
"Actually, I know the matter well, so let me tell you."
Seeing how everyone wanted to swallow Chen Mu, Li Luo suddenly spoke. Under the table, he reached out and pressed Chen Mu's thigh, signaling the other party not to speak yet.
As Li Luo told it, Chen Mu felt complicated. It turned out that Li Luo knew what happened that night. From beginning to end, he was deceiving himself.
After explaining what happened and the initiator, Chen and Mu had no reason to stay any longer, and calmly left the hotel despite the cold faces of all parties.
On the way back, Chen Mu pretended to be driving intently, but in fact, he was secretly observing his girlfriend's expression. He was worried that he wanted to confess and be lenient, but he was also afraid that he would get into trouble.
If he just had sex with Qin Yao in his dream, it shouldn't be serious. After all, Su Nan had done that kind of thing to Li Luo in front of him before.
Chen Mu was worried about concealment and deception. He still remembered that Li Luo had misunderstood because he found earrings in his bedroom, and he quietly taught him a lesson. The current situation is even more serious than that time.
"Okay, don't hold back anymore. Just say what you want. It was just an accident. I'm not an unreasonable person. I can understand it even in the real world."
Seeing the man's cautious manner along the way, Li Luo couldn't help laughing. She knew that the reason why Chen Mu hid her was simply because he didn't want to affect their relationship. Since you understand the man's intentions, what else is there to be angry about?
"Actually, Qin Yao is quite pitiful."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Mu regretted it again. He didn't expect that he would say such a sentence out of nowhere.
"It's just a dream, just treat it like it is. In it, many authors try to force tears, and there are many plots that are more touching than this. We are just bystanders, there is no need to bring too deep emotions."
Li Luo seemed to be trying to comfort him, and Chen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: It's okay that there was no misunderstanding.
"That's true. I was there after my talent for dream power awakened. I discovered that stories with perfect endings, no matter how wonderful they are, are always more unforgettable than tragedies. It doesn't matter if you have some small regrets in life. ."
"The important thing is to learn lessons from regrets, otherwise it is easy to make the same mistakes again. For example, you must handle Sister Tianzhu's matter."
Li Luo's original intention was to warn her boyfriend not to get too close to Chen Tianzhu, so as not to delay him. But her tone was too gentle, causing Chen Mu to wonder what she meant.
"Don't talk about her. Some things are better to let nature take its course."
At this moment, Chen Mu's heartbeat doubled and he did not dare to look at the woman for fear of exposing his excitement. Li Luo's words made him think a lot, and he even thought that the other party sympathized with Qin Yao and allowed Chen Tianyou to exist.
Li Luo also knew that he was speaking too softly, and was about to add a few words to avoid misunderstanding by his boyfriend. Suddenly her cell phone rang. She looked down and saw a shocking headline that made her look pale.
"What's wrong?"
"Just look at the headlines."
Chen Mu quickly discovered something strange about Li Luo, and after hearing the woman's complicated mood, he curiously turned on his phone. In an instant, his expression changed drastically.
