Shangguan Yi looked at the dance floor excitedly and laughed out loud.
"This move of Ailot is really ruthless. You see, Yun Yun was originally extremely wary of him, but now she's leaning on him charmingly.”Shangguan Yi's eyes were filled with envy.
"Don't be happy too early. Didn't you see Uncle and Auntie Lan's expressions?”Lu Lieyun coldly poured cold water on him.
"I saw it, but this is their family matter. As friends, we can only give our blessings to Ailot.”
"I'm afraid that Ailot can't see his own heart!”
"What do you mean?"
"Last month, I met Rose in New Zealand.”
"Rose?" Shangguan Yi's eyes widened. She was no stranger to the name " Rose." However, this name had disappeared from their mouths a few years ago. Now that it had appeared in Lu Lieyun's mouth again, did it mean that another storm was about to begin?
He couldn't imagine what would happen when Ailot saw Rose, his first love, again.
But then again, perhaps he was too nervous. Rose was already married and was far away in New Zealand. He was thinking too much about what kind of influence she could have on Ailot.
Shangguan Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief at this thought.
"Don't let your breath out too early. As far as I know, she's preparing to return to Taiwan, and she's already divorced.”
"What?" Shangguan Yi couldn't help but raise her voice." You said she's divorced and is going back to Taiwan?”
Lu Lieyun nodded solemnly.
"Does Ailot know?" He was already starting to worry. The relationship between Ailot and Yunyun had just started. If Rose came back, Ailot would definitely be affected. What should he do?
"I didn't tell him."
"Then don't say it. Both you and I want to see a happy Ailot. His relationship with Yunyun has just begun. I don't want anyone to ruin it, especially Rose, who once hurt Ailot. She has no right to appear in front of Ailot again!”
Shangguan Yi said angrily.
"But she doesn't think so. From her words, I clearly understand that she will be a big obstacle and test for the relationship between Ailot and Yunyun.”
"To think you're Lu Lieyun. As one of Ailuo's good friends, can't you teach that woman a lesson on Ailuo's behalf?”
Lu Lieyun crossed his arms and sneered,""May I ask how I should teach that woman a lesson?”
"Kick her hard, slap her, then tear her clothes and rape her…Of course, these are all jokes. How can I let you do such despicable, dirty, and obscene things? You just need to let her know that not every man is as easy to bully as Aileen.”
Lu Lieyun's cold glare had scared away all of his three souls and seven spirits.
He had only said a few words of joke, yet Lu Lieyun had a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted nothing more than to kill him. Sigh! Who did he offend? How could she have such a good friend?
"I'll remember your words. I want you to show your manliness when you meet Rose. That way, she won't look down on us men.”Lu Lieyun glanced at him disdainfully.
"Well said, well said. If I really meet Rose, I will show you my manliness without hesitation!”Shangguan Yi looked indignant.
"Very good. Then please look ahead. Who is the woman in purple who appeared at the door?”Lu Lieyun cast a sidelong glance at him before shifting his gaze to the woman who had appeared at the door.
From the moment she appeared, he had already noticed that this woman indeed had a glimmer of hope to return to Taiwan.
When he first met her in New Zealand, she would occasionally reveal some information to let him know, deliberately testing his condition. When she found out that Ailot was still single, a happy expression flashed across her face. He knew that when she returned to Taiwan, she would definitely bring an unexpected storm to Ailot's life.
Now, what he was worried about had happened. When Ailuo announced his engagement with Yunyun, Yu Qiangwei's appearance was obviously a demonstration. She thought that Ailuo was still a bachelor after so many years, so it was obvious that he still loved her. Therefore, she couldn't wait to appear in front of everyone, just to win back the love of Ailot.
"Why is she here?" Shangguan Yi's mouth was agape as she stared at the slowly approaching figure at the door.
A woman whom he and Lu Lieyun had just talked about…!! Yu Qiangwei had actually appeared in front of them so quickly. This really shocked him!
"I'm waiting for you to show your manliness!”Lu Lieyun crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking as if he was watching a good show.
"A man should still have a man's demeanor. Why destroy our demeanor over such a small matter? If this gets out, we'll be laughed at. I think it's fine. Let her off this once!”Shangguan Yi's face did not turn red as she spoke without panting. Although she was speaking logically and logically, her eyes were filled with guilt and she did not dare to look Lu Lieyun in the eye.
"I think you only know how to talk big. You don't know anything!”
" Who said that? I know how to…" For a moment, Shangguan Yi couldn't think of any good points about herself. Could it be that he really didn't know anything like Lu Lieyun had said? He scratched his head awkwardly.
"What else do you know?" Lu Lieyun looked down on him. "It's good that you know how many layers you have. Do you want to stay here or leave?”He looked like he was about to leave.
"Aren't you going to stay and help?"
"I'm afraid that you'll only make things worse. Besides, what I hate the most is to interfere in other people's relationships. Even if I was a bystander, I couldn't be bothered to open my mouth to explain the mystery to the authorities. I might as well leave early.”
Even though he had always been a man of few words and never spoke well of his friends, when his friends were in trouble, he was at least willing to lend a helping hand. But when it came to relationships, he had no choice.
He didn't want to touch or interfere with love. Being emotionless was the best fit for his outlook on life!
"I didn't know until today that you're so cold-blooded and heartless. Ailot encountered such a thing and you actually wanted to leave.”Shangguan Yi asked in an extremely harsh tone.
"Don't worry, if you don't go through the cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms? If he is sincere to Yun Yun, then even if ten roses come, we don't have to worry about him. He has the ability to solve the mystery in his heart.”
"You seem to be quite cold usually, but I didn't expect you to understand things more thoroughly than me. I really couldn't tell!”
Was this praise or criticism? Lu Lieyun's lips curled into a cold smile." If I were like a certain someone who only knew how to talk big, I think I wouldn't be able to survive. Don't you think so?”He walked out of the banquet venue in a stern manner.
Shangguan Yi shuddered at his cold smile. "It's September and it's so hot, but when I stand next to you, it feels like December and it's so cold. Can't you make me feel warm?”He followed behind Lu Lieyun and kept nagging.
As for Ailot, he could only pray for himself, hoping that he could face this sudden situation rationally.
From the moment she stepped onto the dance floor and danced to the music, Murong Qingyun did not dare to look at Murong Chu with her mesmerizing eyes. She was afraid that everything was just a dream. Once she came into contact with Murong Chu's eyes, all her dreams would wake up. Therefore, she would rather close her eyes and enjoy this moment of spiritual interaction.
"Open your eyes, Yunyun.”Murong Chu's smiling mouth was next to Murong Qingyun's ear, intentionally or unintentionally touching it, disturbing her thoughts.
Murong Qingyun had no choice but to open her eyes to look at him. This one look shocked her.
Big Brother was actually using the kind of gaze that would only happen to a lover to stare at her affectionately! Her heart raced, and the dance steps she had taught her became messy. She accidentally stepped on Murong Chu's foot.
" Ah, I'm sorry…" Murong Qingyun apologized frantically.
"I only realized now that you're very afraid of me.”Murong Chu wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.
If he had known that a proposal would make Yun Yun like this, he would have done it long ago.
When he asked Yun Yun about what happened that night, he knew that she was lying when he saw her eyes flicker.
She must have her reasons for doing this. In order to not embarrass her, he put this matter aside for the time being so that he could think of a good way to take responsibility for her.
It seemed that he was right. She looked so shy and happy.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to marry this sister who had been pampered since she was young?
"I'm not afraid of you!" She denied shyly.
"If you're not afraid of me, why don't you dare to look at me?”
Murong Qingyun still didn't dare to look at him. She followed him with light footsteps, and their intimate contact easily stirred up the throbbing in her heart.
"Why did you announce to everyone that I was your fiancée?”Murong Qingyun asked with a red face.
"I know your feelings, Yunyun. From the moment I announced it, you were already my fiancée. Everyone present can testify that you can't deny it even if you want to.”
"But why do you say that? Our relationship isn't like that.”
"If I say that I like you to be my wife, would you believe me?”Murong Chu asked gently.
"I've always believed in Big Brother's words.”
"That's right. From this moment on, you just have to obediently wait to be my wife. Don't think about anything else.”
"Didn't Dad and Mom say anything?”Murong Qingyun glanced at him suspiciously.
"I'm the one who wants to marry a wife. How can they influence my thoughts?”
"Can you promise me one thing?"
"Tell me." Murong Chu smiled.
"Don't be angry with Dad anymore. I know you don't want to be like this. You've been overseas these few years, so you don't know that every time Dad sees your photo, he looks much older. Just like a father waiting for his son to come home, waiting for his son to ask about his well-being. Could it be that he was stingy to fulfill an old man's wish?”
"Don't talk about it now, okay?”Murong Chu's good mood was completely ruined by what she mentioned.
"Big Brother, it's been so many years, but you still can't forgive Dad. Why must the two of them be so distant and cold? He is not your enemy, but your biological father!”Murong Qingyun looked at him pleadingly.
Murong Chu exerted more strength on her slender waist and said with a troubled expression,""I know that everyone in the family hopes that I can treat Dad better, but after more than 20 years, there seems to be an invisible gap between Dad and me, preventing me from taking a step forward, let alone changing the relationship between him and me. Today is our engagement day. Don't let this topic dampen our spirits.”
"But…" Seeing that Murong Chu didn't want to talk about it, Murong Qingyun finally shut her mouth. Suddenly, a familiar figure entered her beautiful eyes, making her tremble.
The body that was leaning against Murong Chu's chest instantly stiffened. She stopped in her tracks and stared fearfully at the figure that was walking towards her.
"What's wrong?" Murong Chu asked in confusion.
The blood quickly drained from Murong Qingyun's face.
If it wasn't for her appearance, she might still be immersed in this beautiful dream.
It was funny that she had forgotten such an important thing. The person that Big Brother loved was not her. The reason why he had publicly proposed to her in front of everyone was entirely to take responsibility. He must have known what had happened that night, which was why he was so eager to take responsibility. She had been blinded by his actions and did not realize such a big mistake. She could not help but think that she had really won his heart!
"There's nothing between us at all. You don't have to be responsible for me. She's the person you care about the most."”She looked ahead, and the face was getting closer and clearer.
Murong Chu turned around suspiciously.
"Rose!" Hearing this name from his mouth made him feel so uncomfortable and embarrassed!
In an instant, he held his breath as he watched her approach. His heart ached.
Yu Qiangwei calmly walked in front of Murong Chu and Murong Qingyun.
"Long time no see, Ailot, Yunyun.”She revealed the most beautiful smile that could move anyone.
"It's been a long time, Rose.”Murong Qingyun pursed her lips and forced out an ugly smile.
"How are you?" After nodding with a smile, Yu Qiangwei looked at Murong Chu and asked gently.
"Very good." Murong Chu said with difficulty.
"I just returned to Taiwan and saw the news that you were going to take over the Murong Group. I thought that because we're old friends, I should come and congratulate you personally.”
"Sister Rose really likes to joke. Why would Big Brother mind? He's so happy!" Seeing that her brother was silent and only stared at Yu Qiangwei with his complicated eyes, she really wanted to leave, but out of courtesy, she suppressed her bitter feelings and answered for him.
Yu Qiangwei was not surprised by Murong Chu's performance. Instead, she had a beautiful smile on her face from the beginning to the end.
"You're still the same. You rarely tell others the truth.”
Looking at her, Murong Chu smiled bitterly,"Are you back for a vacation?"”
Yu Qiangwei shook her head." I divorced my husband.”
Murong Qingyun couldn't help but lose her footing." You two haven't seen each other for a long time. I think I'll leave first. You two can chat slowly!"”In order not to let them see any flaws, she steadied her footsteps and left quickly.
Staying for even a second longer was a form of torture for her!
"Yunyun is always so attentive and considerate, but she lacks the vitality I had when I first met her. It seems that in the past few years, she has polished a beautiful girl into an understanding woman.”
Looking at Murong Qingyun's back as she walked away, Murong Chu empathized with her and said,""After leaving Taiwan for four years, I always felt that Yunyun had changed after returning to Taiwan. She doesn't seem to be the Yunyun who always sticks to me behind my back. She has really grown up and I don't have to worry about her all the time.”
Yu Qiangwei's eyes flickered. "From your expression, it doesn't seem like that. No matter where you are, Yunyun will always be in your heart and you will always be worried for her.”
Murong Chu was surprised.
Yu Qiangwei chuckled." Don't forget that when we were dating in the past, no matter when and where, you would always say the word 'Yunyun'. So even if time and people change, your heart will not change. I have understood this point clearly from the past.”
"What are your plans for coming back to Taiwan?" Murong Chu smiled faintly.
The impact of Yu Qiangwei's appearance had long since faded bit by bit in his laughter.
"I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I can only take one step at a time.”Yu Qiangwei sighed,"If I had been more positive at that time, perhaps I wouldn't have been so sad. Perhaps we would have been a couple long ago, and I wouldn't have ended up like this."”
Murong Chu couldn't help but frown." You're still the same. You're always brave enough to speak your mind. But don't forget that you ended this relationship with your own hands and married another man, destroying my trust in you.”
Yu Qiangwei shook her head." You don't know why I'm doing this at all, just like how you don't know why you're good to Yunyun.”
"How can the two be mixed together!" After breaking up for so many years, Murong Chu felt that Yu Qiangwei's words always mentioned how good he was to Yunyun.
"It's been four years, and you still don't understand yourself?”Yu Qiangwei sighed deeply." Does Yunyun have a boyfriend?”
"No, I haven't." Murong Chu's expression suddenly changed.
"So she's still alone!”Yu Qiangwei smiled mysteriously." How about this, my brother…You know that from the past until now, his focus has been on his career. He hasn't even had a girlfriend. He's about to enter the 30th mark, and he's the only son in our Yu family. So my parents are very anxious to find a wife for him. Why don't I introduce Yunyun to him? What do you think?”
Murong Chu's gaze was sharp, and his tone was extremely bad as he replied,""No."
"Why not? Unmarried men and women." Yu Qiangwei said aggressively.
"Just now, she became my fiancée in front of everyone!”Murong Chu replied with an ugly expression.
Yu Qiangwei was slightly surprised, and then she said awkwardly,"I thought you would never realize your true feelings!”
Murong Chu frowned, not understanding Rose's words.
Yu Qiangwei glanced at him suspiciously." Don't tell me you still don't know that you're right…Forget it, let's talk about how you and Yunyun got together. I'm very curious."”
Back then, she chose to marry another man because she knew that the man in front of her did not love her. At most, she was only a woman he liked in his heart.
In the few years that she had been together with him, she did not think much of his constant mention of her sister. However, when she found out that Yun Yun was not Ailot's biological sister, she suddenly realized that he really loved Yun Yun. It was just that he did not know his own feelings and thought that he had fallen in love with her.
However, she did not expose this point because she loved him very much at that time. She thought that she only needed to pretend that she did not know the truth and continue to hide it.
However, the longer they dated, the longer Ailot's gaze was on Yun Yun, and the more attracted she was to Yun Yun. Only then did she make up her mind to marry a man who was very passionate about her.
Instead of painfully loving a man whose heart was not with her, it was better to choose a man who loved her.
He thought that one day, Ailot would definitely discover his love for Yunyun, but from what he had just said, he clearly hadn't discovered it yet.
But why did the two of them get engaged? This really made her curious.
When she met Lu Lieyun in New Zealand and asked him about Ailot, she knew that Lu Lieyun was very wary of her. However, to be honest, she only greeted Ailot as a friend. She didn't even think about any other improper thoughts.
And she came here today purely because she wanted to know how things were going between him and Yunyun?
When she heard that he was engaged to Yunyun, she was indeed shocked, but the truth was not what she thought.
Murong Chu glanced at her." This is a private matter between Yunyun and me.”
"Logically speaking, today is your engagement day with Yunyun, so she should be happy. But she doesn't look very happy. Did you make her angry? Or is she unhappy because of my appearance?”
Hearing this, Murong Chu was stunned for a moment before shifting his gaze to Murong Qingyun. She smiled faintly and turned her head to the other side, not even looking at him.
He suddenly felt an indescribable sadness on Yun Yun's body, tugging at his heart.
He wanted to step forward and comfort her, but when he thought of what she had said before she left, he hesitated and fell into confusion.
"Let's talk about you. Why did you divorce your husband?”
"He's very good to me. I can only blame myself for not thinking about it. In the past few years, I had been indulging in his care. He had given everything for me without asking for anything in return. I thought that I would spend a sweet life with him, but he didn't think so. The reason why we divorced was because he thought that I didn't love him and still missed you.”
Yu Qiangwei didn't hide the reason for her divorce.
"He's wrong. I believe that the reason why you chose to marry him must be because of his merits, and you love him.”
"No, I married him for a real reason, not because I love him. He knew this, so after he married me, he loved me without any regrets. He did not expect me to give anything in return. His goal was to hope that I could truly understand his heart. However, when he found out that I still thought of you often, he began to become dissatisfied with the status quo and asked me to give him the same love. I couldn't stand his change, so I often quarreled with him, which led to a divorce.”
"No one can understand the matters between husband and wife.”Murong Chu looked at her deeply." From your eyes, I can see that your concept of love has changed a lot. But you can't lie to yourself. The person you love is actually your husband, not me. To me, you only came to see me as an old friend. It's not that you can't forget me.”
As the two of them spoke, he could clearly feel that Yu Qiangwei's feelings for him had long turned into friendship with her husband's love. On the contrary, when she talked about her husband, her melancholic eyes revealed a hint of regret.
"You know me best!" Yu Qiangwei smiled faintly.
"Before I met you, I always thought that I couldn't forgive you for the harm you've caused me. But after I really met you, the feeling of relief filled my chest. I don't think I've ever hated the harm you've caused me. It's just that I couldn't bear your departure for a moment.”
"Your words are really hurtful!”Yu Qiangwei smiled and shook her head. "However, I already knew this would happen.”
"You already knew?" Murong Chu looked at her suspiciously.
"We've talked for so long, but you still can't hear the hint in my words. Actually, you didn't love me back then. You mistook the relationship between brother and sister as the love between a man and a woman. I only saw through your thoughts one step earlier than you, so I chose to marry my husband.”She flipped her hair back, and her every move was filled with the charm of a woman.
"Back then, I loved you very much, but when I found out that the person you loved wasn't me, I was very sad. Originally, I thought that as long as I turned a blind eye and continued to date you as if nothing had happened, I would be able to win your heart. But your behavior is too hurtful. In order to not live in that pain every day, I choose to marry my husband.”
Hearing this, Murong Chu was shocked.
The person he loved was not Rose. Why would Rose have such thoughts?
"Of course, I'm dating you because I love you. Other than you, no other woman can attract my attention. At that time, I loved you so much and cared about you so much. But a few years later, you told me that the reason you married another man was because I didn't love you!”It was so embarrassing to be misunderstood, especially by the woman he once loved deeply.
Murong Chu was about to fly into a rage, but when he met Yu Qiangwei's serious eyes, he immediately softened.
Could it be that he really didn't love her like what Rose said?
"Very soon, you will find out that I am not lying. You should grasp Yun Yun well. She is a good girl.”
Yu Qiangwei smiled and quickly walked out of Murong Chu's sight. He left behind a cloud of fog that puzzled him.# Review: hch471000 Time:103020186: 45PM #
