No matter how elegant the palace was, it was the same. No matter how gorgeous the lights were, they all shone on the same ugly or not-so-ugly world. No matter how the walls were decorated, even if they took off their snow-white clothes and replaced them with flowers and willows, it was just a wall that covered the outside world. No matter how bright the floor was, stepping on it still felt steady. If it wasn't steady, he would still feel scared.
However, the preparations in the hall today could be said to be a visual feast. Red wine, champagne, desserts with roses, fruit pits, fruits, salad, bread with milk, and chicken, fish, and duck meat covered by colorful flowers. Humans were really deceiving themselves, thinking that this would cover up their barbarism, but the flowers betrayed them. They were taken away by those beautiful ladies, and the chicken, duck, and fish were naked. It turned out that this was not the case at all. Humans were carnivorous.
Not only were celebrities from Taiwan's business world here, but even some celebrities from the entertainment world had also rushed over. Of course, these people were invited by Ximen Dao. In the past, he had been busy with his career and had never paid attention to his daughter's birthday. This time, he was making up for it with the regret of the past 19 years. He wished he could invite Chief Hu to congratulate his daughter.
He Yiqi, who was now Ding Yaqi, and Ding Yaqi's manager, Lin Na, had also come to this birthday party. They really didn't know what would happen.
As soon as Gao Huien got up in the morning, he received a call from Wen Hua. She asked him to meet her at a nearby cafe. Gao Huien saw that Wen Hua seemed to have something important to discuss with him, so he left in a hurry.
Wen Hua didn't wait for long before she saw Gao Huien appear in the café. His forehead was obviously covered in sweat.
"You ran over here. Hurry up and do it.”Wen Hua spoke as if she was concerned about her own son.
"No, I just saw that Auntie seemed to have something important to do, so she left in a hurry.”Gao Huien wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down.
"It's like this. Today is my daughter's birthday. She's twenty years old. As a parent, I'm afraid that my daughter will marry the wrong man.”Wen Hua was hinting at Gao Huien.
How could Gao Huien not understand what Wen Hua meant? His face was filled with words, reminding Huien that he would help him if he had the chance. "But, your girl and I have only known each other for a short time. What does it mean that I like her?”Gao Huien knew that even if he liked her, he might not be able to have a result, because love was two-way, not one-way.
"If I marry my daughter to you, can you give her a lifetime of happiness?”Wen Hua needed a transition.
"I love her, and I will give her everything I have, but all of this might not make her happy, so I can't.”Gao Huien would never accept Wen Hua's simple happiness. She thought that happiness was too materialistic and ignorant.
"The world has changed. I really don't understand the thoughts of young people like you. Just as you said, I'm more assured in handing my daughter to you. I hope you can let her win your heart. Today, we announce your engagement.”After Wen Hua finished speaking, a relaxed smile climbed onto her face. No one could change her decision.
Although Gao Huien did not like Wen Hua's unreasonable decision, he did not have the ability to reject it.
When you love someone, no matter how you get her, as long as you get her, you will be happy. Perhaps the happiness is small, but it is better than nothing.
He was very clear about Wen Hua's motive for this action. He knew the reason, but he did not feel disgusted when faced with such a reason.
In this world, a life married to a handsome man was a pale one, but a life married to a rich man was a wise one. Because looks were only an external illusion, an illusion of reality. This illusion could not bring you bread and milk.
Money itself was your bread. People with money carried a kind of ability. Only people with ability and power could have money. A good-for-nothing guy could not jump into a happy rich family unless he stole and robbed.
Gao Huien looked at the world with complete fairness, so she understood Wen Hua, who was both a businessman and a mother. Ximen Liu was right to choose him.
He Xiqi was dressed casually again. He didn't seem to like changing his clothes according to the occasion. He wanted the environment to suit him. His style was like that and couldn't be changed.
Walking along the corridor of the Ximen family's residence, she saw suits fluttering in the air. She also saw long dresses swaying beside the suits. Among the long dresses, a long dress jumped into his line of sight. He did not move his eyes. Wasn't this the famous singer, Ding Yaqi? He had seen this person on television, but he did not expect to catch a living person today. He was thinking how many times he could have such an opportunity in his life. Perhaps this was the only time in his life! How could he miss it? He had to get an autograph as soon as possible. He ran towards his goal.
"Ms. Ding Yaqi, I'm your fan, can you help me sign…?”Before He Xiqi could finish, a woman pulled him back.
"Sir, you…" Linna wanted to teach this unreasonable child a lesson, but when she saw He Xiqi's eyes, she couldn't help but reminisce. "And you are?" Linna was searching his eyes.
"My name is He Xiqi. What's wrong?" He Xiqi looked into her eyes." You, I think I've seen you somewhere before. When?"”
" He Xiqi, Xiaoxi, you?”Linna widened her eyes.
Ding Yaqi was even more excited." Xiaoxi, you're Xiaoxi." She pulled He Xiqi into her arms. Linna pulled He Xiqi out again." How are your parents? "Your mother is really beautiful." She still had to confirm something.
"Very good. My mom is quite good-looking. Why? Do you know her?”He Xiqi didn't expect them to know his mother. Could it be that his mother used to be an artist?
"What about your sister?" Linna was asking,
"My sister is pretty good too. You even know my sister. What's your relationship with my mother?”He Xiqi was even more surprised.
Lin Na had to pull He Xiqi away. Although she was sure that this man was very likely Ximen Dao and He Yiqi's biological son, Xiaoxi, it would not be good for anyone to reveal the truth on such an occasion and in such a situation. Therefore, Lin Na left He Xiqi." Don't tell anyone about what happened today. She doesn't want to tell anyone about your mother's past because it's a memory in her heart, so your mother didn't tell you that she knew me. Don't say it out loud, okay?"
He Xiqi's puzzled eyes stopped thinking. He was really confused." Okay, sure.”
Everything here had just popped out of his mind. He just wanted to rest for a while. Ximen Liu walked over." You're here. I've been looking for you for a long time.”
"Mhm, happy birthday." He Xiqi grabbed a glass of red wine.
" Thank you. It's my greatest joy that you're here." She closed her eyes and waited for He Xiqi to kiss her.
Wen Hua saw all of this and pulled her daughter away." I was just looking for you. So you're here. Hurry up, you're the star today."”When she left, she glared at He Xiqi.
Wen Hua walked up to the highest stage of the exhibition hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my daughter's birthday party today. First of all, I thank everyone for coming on behalf of my daughter, Ximen Liu. In the blink of an eye, we are already old. Watching our daughters grow up slowly, our greatest wish is for them to be happy. As the chairman of Wen Shengye, I've been busy with my own business all these years. Recently, I've been discussing real estate sales with the Gao family from the mainland and signed a cooperation plan to provide a better living environment for the people of Taiwan. However, our era will eventually pass, and all of this will be passed down to our next generation. Today is my daughter's 20th birthday. This is a happy occasion. The cooperation between the Wen Corporation and the Gao family is another happy occasion. It can be said to be a double happy occasion. But today, I have something else to tell you. I've decided to marry my daughter Ximen Liu to Gao Bowen's son, Gao Hui 'en. Today is their engagement ceremony.
Ximen Liu was stunned. She had no idea what had happened. She could only hear the people around her cheering and congratulating her.
Gao Huien walked over and carried her over. He didn't need her to say anything, because talking would only make her feel bad. He knew that Ximen Liu was sadder than anyone else because her mother, whom she loved the most, had sold her to someone else in front of her beloved He Xiqi at her 20th birthday party.
Looking at Ximen Liu in someone else's arms, He Xiqi understood how stupid he was.
She actually believed that Ximen Liu would belong to her. How could a princess with such a family background fall in love with an uneducated child from a gangster family? She was destined to be punished for her wishful thinking. You don't have to be surprised.
Accept it, there is a storm, don't cry, no one will pity you.
