The car window was closed tightly. Cheng Xi felt suffocated and said, "Open the window."
Zhou Jingchen remained silent.
Press the button.
Driving through Changping Street, Zhou Huaikang and his wife's car turned left at the fork in the road, and this car turned right.
A gust of wind caused the peach tree to sway. She stretched out her hand and caught a flower.
"The peach trees in Ximen Alley bloom better than the peach blossoms here."
The man remained silent.
"Aunt He told me that the alleys in the community will be demolished in June, a wooden corridor will be built, and the peach trees will be cut down."
Zhou Jingchen frowned.
Cheng Xi closed her palms and crushed the flower.
What shouldn't be kept can't be kept even if everything is spent.
Sour, astringent, bitter.
Even if it is a little bit sweet, in the end, it is destined to end.
There was a bag on the front seat. Zhou Jingchen leaned forward and took out the wooden box inside.
It's the crystal tiara.
"Put it on." He gently put it on her head.
Cheng Xi cried silently.
The clear crystal crown highlights her fragility, her hair is soft and fluffy, and there are strands of subtle fragrance floating around.
Zhou Jingchen stroked her for a moment and said, "The size is right."
She raised her eyes, watery, "Brother Jingchen..."
A final plea.
Tears melted between Zhou Jingchen's fingers. He rubbed the corners of her eyes and slowly fell to her lips.
Gorgeous carmine.
He kissed her.
Careful grinding.
Cheng Xi sobbed and clutched his collar tightly, as if holding on to the only life-saving straw.
"You can do something..." She touched the bridge of Zhou Jingchen's nose. He had smoked more than one cigarette in the morning. The bitter taste of tea covered up the smell of smoke, which was still very strong.
"If I marry Geng Shiqing, my life will be worse than death."
The man kissed her not deeply, with his eyes half open for a while, and then let go of her.
"Be obedient." He patiently reassured her, "If you have the chance, you can get a divorce."
Cheng Xi was stunned.
Zhou Jingchen put the back of his hand against her cheek and moved it back and forth, "Go back to Zhou's house to stay on weekends and holidays. Geng Shiqing doesn't have the guts to stop you. You don't spend much time together."
He seemed to be joking, but he also seemed to be serious, "It's only been a few years, can't you make it through?"
The blood all over Cheng Xi's body felt cold, which made his heart hurt.
"How many years?" She tightened her grip. "In a few years, you may have a son and a daughter, so do you care about me?"
"I don't care about you." Zhou Jingchen stroked her eyebrows, which were slender crescent-shaped, with almond-shaped eyes underneath, water-colored, looking cleanly to the end.
"You are willing to take care of it, Miss Hua." Cheng Xi held his hand, "If she doesn't want to, just leave it alone. Can you take care of me now... You are married, don't worry about me, I won't bother you .”
Zhou Jingchen looked at her, with a face that could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
After a long while, he brushed her hand away. It was cold and without warmth, "I can't control it now."
Cheng Xi slumped in his seat.
Zhou Huaikang and his wife took the first car, and the bodyguard was in the third car. Halfway through the journey, Mrs. Zhou found that one car was missing, and she immediately called Zhou Jingchen.
"You didn't follow?"
"A detour." Zhou Jingchen didn't sleep last night. The engagement was too hasty and there were too many things to arrange. He slept for less than ten hours in total in the past few nights. His voice was hoarse and tired, "Xi'er was emotionally unstable and went around to the park to relax. "
Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything.
Hang up.
Zhou Jingchen then assigned him to the first secretary of Beihang Group's office.
He changed his hand to answer the phone, avoiding Cheng Xi, "Ask the other party to sign a contract."
The first secretary asked, "When will you return to the company?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"General Manager Ye is on a business trip in other provinces, but I searched the Yunhang Group's official website. There are no projects disclosed to the public recently in other provinces. Is it probably a confidential project?" The first secretary is a local, and his speech is smooth. Although the volume is not high, but The carriage was quiet, and Cheng Xi could faintly hear something.
"He went to other provinces not for business, but for private matters." Zhou Jingchen put it bluntly, "to hide from the limelight."
The first secretary suddenly realized, "With such a wonderful drama, he guessed that he would be your scapegoat. The Ye family would be turned upside down, so he hid in another province for peace and quiet."
"How can Ye Bonan give up an order worth 500 million yuan? Businessmen are competing for profits, and the love between children is nothing. I believe in exchanging orders with women; exchanging orders with women is pure fantasy. What's more, he just met him. How could the deep love and righteousness come from the few meetings? If Ye Bonan was such a sentimental man, would he break off the engagement with Yu Wei? The outside world thought that Mrs. Ye didn't like Yu Wei, but in fact, Ye Bonan never tried to defend her."
Cheng Xi stared at the shadow on the glass.
Zhou Jingchen knows her well, and there is nothing in the world that suits her better than this crystal tiara.
His custom-made horse skirts and gowns always fit perfectly.
"There is no profit of 500 million for this order. In fact, it is only 40 million, and the risk is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will lose more than you make. Ye Bonan let the news out a week in advance, attracting competition among peers, including you. , to create the illusion that the order is in demand, and then use Miss Cheng's incident to push you along the way and give you favors. The purpose is to plot against Beihang Group and make us lose money and cause disputes and lawsuits with overseas Party A. Are you sure you want to sign the contract? "
Zhou Jingchen laughed and said, "Since it's a favor, I have no reason to refuse."
He cut off the call and played with his phone carelessly.
The car is parked at the south gate of Huiyuan.
The Zhou family's two cars also just arrived.
Lanterns were hung in the garden and the characters "囍" were posted. Geng Shiqing was holding a bouquet of roses, wearing a bright red wedding dress, and not using crutches. At first glance, he looked like a healthy man, standing in the hall with a smile on his face.
The Geng family came out in person to greet Zhou Huaikang and his wife and congratulated each other.
Cheng Xi witnessed this scene and remained motionless.
Zhou Jingchen reminded her, "Don't lose your composure."
She took a deep breath and bent down to get out of the car.
Geng Shiqing's eyes lit up, "Xi'er!"
He limped and jumped up to Cheng Xi, "You are so beautiful. No wonder the Zhou family insists on us wearing Chinese dresses. You look like a beauty in a costume drama!"
Cheng Xi ignored him.
He walked to Zhou Huaikang and his wife again and said, "Uncle, aunt."
"Silly boy, you still call me uncle and aunt?" Mrs. Geng winked at him as she entered the auditorium.
He was very polite and took Cheng Xi's hand, "Xi'er calls first."
Cheng Xi called her parents on her 18th birthday, and later she still called her "Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou" because she couldn't say it out loud.
On this occasion, if she didn't scream, Zhou Huaikang and his wife would not be able to get off the stage.
She said vaguely, "Dad...Mom."
Geng Shiqing also called after her.
Before Mrs. Zhou could agree, Zhou Jingchen said, "Shiqing is radiant today."
"What a happy day!" Geng Shiqing said happily, "Xi'er and I are destined to be together, and it's thanks to big brother's great blessing."
"Oh?" He said with a smile, "I'm not helping you."
"Eldest brother agrees that Xi'er will marry the Geng family, which is equivalent to helping me!"
Geng Shiqing was sensible and flattered him, but Zhou Jingchen did not appreciate it and changed the subject, "Let's hold the ceremony first."
