The decoration of the living room is full of the perfect combination of classic and modern. Next to the tall fireplace, there are two leather sofas.
Qiao Yunshu came out of the side hall, sat on the sofa, and smiled at the bride, "Sorry for the long wait. I have tried on all the clothes and they all fit. It's just that the zipper on the back of the cheongsam seems to be stuck, which makes it easier to Are you going to change it again?"
"Of course it's convenient." The bride also showed a somewhat apologetic smile, "I'm really sorry, I'll ask someone to take it down and change it now."
Jiang Tang ate the fruit on the coffee table and asked casually, "No wonder it took you a long time to come out. Did the zipper on the back of the cheongsam just get stuck for a long time? I can't fix it."
Qiao Yunshu nodded and said half-jokingly, "Yeah, who told you to walk so fast? I can't even ask you to help me."
Jiang Tang blinked curiously, "Then how did you do it? Could it be that you pulled it open with bare hands and brute force?"
When this topic was brought up, Qiao Yunshu paused.
She inevitably thought of the deserted and quiet room, where she and Li Hanting were so close that his breath sprayed on the crook of her neck when he spoke.
The bright mirror standing in front of him showed the scene between the two of them unreservedly in Qiao Yunshu's eyes.
She clearly saw an impenetrable darkness flashing through Li Hanting's dark eyes when he said, "You have a mole on your back."
After saying that, the man even stretched out his knuckled fingers and tapped her lightly on the back.
Although it did not touch her skin directly, but through the thin layer of fabric of the cheongsam, Qiao Yunshu still felt an inexplicable hot fire, starting from the small piece of skin on her back, so that it caused her to The roots of his ears were burning red.
What followed was that Qiao Yunshu hurriedly kicked Li Hanting out. Then she carefully looked at the size of the cheongsam. She felt it fit and took it off quickly. She went to the living room to look for Jiang Tang and the others. She also forgot to ask about Li Hanting's sudden appearance of the bride. What is the reason for home?
Thinking of that scene, an unnatural look appeared on Qiao Yunshu's face, and even the tips of her snow-white ears were filled with an extremely faint layer of red clouds.
She coughed lightly and pretended to be calm, "Yes."
At this time, the tall and handsome groom happened to come over. He and the bride stood together. They were indeed a talented and beautiful couple.
He whispered something into the bride's ear. The latter looked surprised, then subconsciously looked up at Qiao Yunshu with a somewhat apologetic expression.
Qiao Yunshu didn't know what happened yet, or what her look meant.
After the groom left, the bride sat next to her, held her hand and began to apologize, "Yun Shu, I'm so sorry, my family just told me that he invited Mr. Li Hanting to be the best man, do you mind? "
What?
Li Hanting appeared here because he became the best man at the wedding?
Qiao Yunshu was stunned for a moment. The bride thought she was a little concerned, so she scolded the groom again, "It's all his fault! You didn't discuss it with me before agreeing. I'll go find him later and let him figure it out." .”
Only then did she come back to her senses and quickly comforted her, "No, no, it's actually fine. I don't mind too much."
Although she didn't know whether the reason why Li Hanting became the best man was because he had a good relationship with the groom or because of something else, no matter which it was, she didn't seem to have any position to mind.
If it was because of the first reason, since he and the groom were friends, it was natural for her to be the best man for her friend, and there was no need for her to blame him.
If it was for other reasons, it was most likely that Li Hanting heard somewhere that she was going to be the bridesmaid in this wedding, so she approached the groom and asked to be the best man.
If this was the reason, Qiao Yunshu couldn't make it difficult for the bride and groom. After all, Li Hanting was so powerful in City A that few people even dared to refuse him, so the groom probably agreed because of the overall situation. , how could she have the nerve to ask the groom to come forward to reject Li Hanting again.
Seeing that she was so considerate, the bride breathed a sigh of relief and explained softly, "Yunshu, you are so kind. I heard that Mr. Li and our husband are college classmates, but I don't know anything about them. The relationship is so good.”
Turns out they were college classmates?
It seems that there is nothing wrong with Li Hanting becoming the best man at the wedding, and there is no problem.
Qiao Yunshu thought to herself that it was a good thing that she was not narcissistic enough to think that Li Hanting came to be the best man because of her. Otherwise, if she had impulsively confronted the man, he would have caught him and be treated as a joke.
But Jiang Tang seemed to have discovered something keenly. He turned around and looked at Qiao Yunshu with strange eyes, "Why did Li Hanting come to be the best man?"
She blinked and answered truthfully, "I don't know either. Maybe he has a good relationship with the groom. Didn't you hear? He and your brother-in-law are college classmates."
"Young master, I don't know him yet." Jiang Tang lowered his voice and whispered, "Who doesn't know that Mr. Li has a cold and distant personality. He has always been a loner and has no close friends except Mr. Lu. , how could I be the best man for a college classmate."
Qiao Yunshu blinked and suddenly felt that what she said made sense.
After all, I was married to Li Hanting. During the time they were together, I had never heard of him having any close college classmates.
She wondered, "Then what is he doing here?"
Jiang Tang looked straight at her, with a hint of hatred in his tone, "What do you think? Of course it's for you."
Qiao Yunshu stood up suddenly, feeling uncomfortable all over, "Not necessarily."
Jiang Tang clicked his tongue and sighed, "As expected, bystanders know better. Isn't this obvious? Let me tell you, Yun Shu, you can't be fooled by this bitch!"
Qiao Yunshu subconsciously retorted, "How is it possible? How could I be confused by him?"
Jiang Tang dragged his cheeks and sighed sadly, "The best thing for you is to be firm and remember what you say now. I don't want to persuade you to break up 800 times, and then I will have to drink your wedding wine."
She couldn't bear the teasing on her face and walked towards the bright floor-to-ceiling window, "Of course not. Oh, I won't tell you anymore."
The garden behind the floor-to-ceiling windows is full of greenery, with all kinds of precious flowers vying for beauty in the sunshine. The fountain in the garden shines in the sun, and the water splashes in all directions, complementing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
The man in their topic was standing in front of the fountain, talking to the groom.
He is tall, with broad shoulders extending downward into an inverted triangle. His tight and powerful body is wrapped in a black high-collar suit. His tie is quite wide, and his black hair is pulled back, revealing his heavy brow bones. . The deep three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes appear clearer and sharper in the sunlight.
There were five men there including him and the groom, all of whom were tall and handsome. But for some reason, Li Hanting stood out among them. When people looked at him, their eyes would fall on him. On him.
If you don't know him, you will only think that he is a polite gentleman who has been well-educated since childhood.
But who would have thought that he actually has cold blood in his bones, and is like a complex combination of multiple qualities that makes people unable to figure it out.
Perhaps Qiao Yunshu stood by the window and stared for too long. The man who was talking to the groomsmen suddenly raised his head sharply and looked directly in Qiao Yunshu's direction, but she couldn't avoid it.
The two people's eyes collided in the air without warning. But it only took a moment for their eyes to collide. Qiao Yunshu immediately lowered his eyes as if he hadn't seen him. Then he naturally turned around and walked back to the living room. He sat on the sofa and covertly picked up the water glass in front of him and drank. A sip of water.
Qiao Yunshu didn't know that his series of actions were seen by Li Hanting. He stared at the figure disappearing by the window, raised his lips and showed a faint smile. The groomsmen next to him looked at him in shock.
After all, everyone is in the same circle. Naturally, they have heard of Li Hanting's name and have dealt with him in the business world. They all know that his personality is ruthless and ruthless. Everyone is used to seeing him in shopping malls. He looks like a powerful person who kills and seizes everything in his life. It was the first time I saw his aura so gentle and I was still a little unaccustomed to it.
And they had obviously all heard more or less about the love entanglement between Li Hanting and his ex-wife Qiao Yunshu.
Although he didn't know what the specific situation was, judging from the current situation, Li Hanting was really chasing Qiao Yunshu.
They sighed endlessly in their hearts, never expecting that the man who was so aloof and indifferent to women would one day run behind a woman in a low voice, and the woman would even avoid him.
Li Hanting turned around and continued talking to the groom Wang Xingzhou. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much this time. I found the plan submitted by the Wang Group to be somewhat feasible, and we will have a happy cooperation from now on."
Wang Xingzhou was flattered and nodded quickly, "Mr. Li, what are you talking about? We were also college classmates. I don't have many friends and I can't find the best man. It should be me thanking you for coming to the rescue. We will cooperate happily on the new project."
He is a shrewd businessman who knows how to maximize his own interests by making trade-offs when faced with choices. These words were also extremely beautiful. He did not directly acknowledge Li Hanting's thanks, but made it appear that he He came to be the best man just to help, not for anything else, which shows a very high emotional intelligence.
Li Hanting was indeed very satisfied with what he said, and the smile on his face was a bit sincere.
Wang Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had done the right thing.
He usually has a cheerful personality and has many friends around him. What I just said about not having a few friends around to make up the best man is actually just a show of words.
Originally, he had planned to let a few of his friends be the best men, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the special assistant of Li Hanting of the Li Group, asking if he had all the best men here.
Wang Xingzhou was usually astute and did not say that the candidate had been decided. Instead, he cautiously asked the special assistant if he needed help with anything.
Unexpectedly, the special assistant directly hinted that Li Hanting wanted to be his best man. When Wang Xingzhou heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, or that the special assistant's account had been hacked, and it was just a prank.
Fortunately, in the flash of lightning, Wang Xingzhou remembered the best men his fiancée had invited. One of them seemed to be Qiao Yunshu, and then he understood what Li Hanting's actions were for.
Feelings are like drunkenness, not wine.
Being the best man is fake, but chasing your wife is real, right?
Li Hanting was a person that the entire wealthy families in City A looked up to. Since it was his intention, Wang Xingzhou had to hesitate a few times.
Furthermore, everyone is now an adult, and it is more realistic to consider some things. He knows that a businessman like Li Hanting cannot let him help in vain. If he agrees to let him be the best man, then he will definitely learn from Li Hanting. obtain certain benefits.
In the face of family interests, friendship seems not so important.
What's more, his friends are all family heirs, so they naturally understand the reasons for his choice, so it doesn't take much effort to change the best man.
The originally selected best man also readily agreed, joking that he was really lucky to have this opportunity to climb to the top of the historical group.
Wang Xingzhou smiled slightly at Li Hanting and said, "Mr. Li, since the groomsmen's clothes all fit, let's go in and discuss the process of tomorrow's wedding with the bridesmaids."
Several men walked into the living room together.
As soon as I walked in, I heard the delicate laughter of several girls, like the crisp oriole.
The bride and four bridesmaids were sitting together chatting about girly topics, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Li Hanting's deep and dark gaze naturally fell on Qiao Yunshu.
She was talking and laughing with a few girls, but she didn't seem to realize that someone came into the living room.
There was a pure smile on her pretty face, like a peach blossom in full bloom, scorching its beauty.
When she smiles, there are two shallow pear dimples on her lips, especially her eyes that are as clear as spring water and are curved into the shape of a crescent. They are extremely contagious and make people unable to help but look at them. feel happy.
Li Hanting looked at Qiao Yunshu's smile, and his heartstrings were gently plucked. He seemed to see the first flowers blooming in spring, so delicate and beautiful.
His heart beat faster than expected, as if some strange mechanism had been pressed, or as if it had been gently teased by soft feathers.
He coughed lightly and naturally walked to the sofa next to Qiao Yunshu and sat down.
He did this series of actions extremely naturally, without even looking at Qiao Yunshu during the process, as if the two of them had nothing to do with each other and were just doing business.
The latter smelled the familiar smell of ebony cedar, and inexplicably felt that the air around her was different, making her nerves tense involuntarily.
