brand on heart

When I came to the Song family's ancestral hall, there were many guests inside, and people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors crowded their heads and tiptoed to look at the lobby.

The Song family hasn't been this lively for many years.

Song Rongyin is also a direct descendant of the Song family, and the wedding was held in a very solemn and lively manner.

When Mu Qing and the others arrived, Song Rongyin and the others had already saluted the ancestral tablet and were paying their respects as husband and wife.

Shi Yan saw Lu Jingyang, Gu Chengxi, Shen Siqi, and Meng Yun in the crowd?

Meng Yun is here too? !

Looking in disbelief at Meng Yun, who was in the opposite crowd and was talking intimately with the person beside him, Shi Yan felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head.

It was Yan Jun, who brought Meng Yun here.

What do they want to do?

Or what exactly does Meng Yun want to do?

Noticing his uneasiness, Mu Qing asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yanyin resisted the uneasiness in her heart, shook her head, "It's okay."

With so many people, Meng Yun should not be so reckless.

He was not an impulsive person. After the panic caused by Jiang Keqing's sudden disappearance passed, Meng Yun quickly found his own pace.

After the ceremony in the ancestral hall, the guests moved to the banquet hall of the Song family, and Song Rongyin and his wife went back to their rooms to change into the attires for the toast.

Mu Qing put Shi Yan on the seat and said: "Later we are going to toast Brother Rong Yin, you are here, don't drink indiscriminately. Don't wait for me, you can go back to your room or play with Rong Ke and the others after you are full. Rong Zhen, I'll leave Shiyan to you, don't forget the exchange between us."

Song Rongzhen glanced at Shi Yan boredly, waved his hand, "Don't worry."

"I'm not a child, Mu Qing, don't do this, you will be laughed at." Shi Yan complained dissatisfied.

"Be obedient, come with me to toast my parents after the banquet." Mu Qing told him affectionately, then turned and went to have a table with Song Rongyin and the others.

After the wedding master of ceremonies and the officiant took turns to speak on the stage, the bride and groom were invited to the stage to talk to each other and play games.

Shi Yan looked around to find someone, and saw Meng Yun and Yan Yan sitting on the table next to the main table.

Also, Stern Jun's father is the mayor, and their treatment is not low.

Lu Jingyang and Mu Chunhao sat at the corner table.

Shi Yan looked away in disgust.

"Don't you find it embarrassing?" Song Rongzhen propped his head to watch the performance on the stage for a long time, and suddenly asked Shi Yan.

"Ah?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about a game between the bride and groom, "What's the matter, as long as everyone is happy."

"Brother Rong Yin doesn't like that girl at all." Song Rongzhen said coldly, "Look at them, they are like strangers, they don't even know each other's preferences. I guess they must have memorized today's lines for a long time."

This kid doesn't care about the situation at all.

Shi Yan didn't want to be heard by the surrounding guests, so she stopped talking to him.

Having never participated in other weddings, Shi Yan has no way to compare the quality of this wedding. The luxury is definitely luxurious, but it is also very cumbersome, and the game play took more than half an hour.

Only after that.

Mu Qing and his six best men and bridesmaids took turns toasting the guests with Song Rongyin and the others.

Song Rongzhen didn't seem to have much appetite. After eating for ten minutes, he stopped chopsticks and played games with his head down.

Shi Yan put some vegetables into a bowl for him with serving chopsticks, and said, "You are growing up now, so how can you eat so little?"

Song Rongzhen put down the phone, held the bowl and lowered his head to grind for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Lu Wanyu, how are you?"

Shi Yan nodded, "Very well, the doctor said that he is recovering well and can be discharged early."

"He really hates me, doesn't he?" Song Rongzhen asked as he scratched the rim of the bowl with his fingers.

Shi Yan looked at him strangely and asked, "Do you care what he thinks?"

Song Rongzhen glared at him angrily, "How could you not care?"

"You hurt him too much." Shi Yan said flatly, "He was originally a shy person. You may be the only friend he made in high school, and you treated him like that."

"..." Song Rongzhen bit her lip, and said emptyly, "I don't know why it became like this. He is so stupid that people can't help but want to bully him."

Shi Yan looked at him speechlessly, bullying others because of his stupidity, this young master's temper is really unbearable.

"In short, you probably won't have a chance to meet again in the future, and he will soon forget the pain you caused him." Shi Yan was really angry with him, and couldn't control the conversation.

Song Rongzhen sensitively grasped the meaning of his words, "What do you mean? Lu Wanyu wants to transfer schools?"

When Shi Yan realized that she had slipped her mouth, she shook her head and stopped speaking.

Song Rongzhen squeezed the chopsticks in his hand fiercely, his eyes hung upside down in anger, and he opened his mouth to say something, when he accidentally saw Lu Jingyang sitting in the corner toasting his relatives.

After spending so much effort to squeeze into the Song family's wedding banquet, it seems that Lu Jingyang's company is really failing.

After toasting with Song Rongyin for a round of wine, Mu Qing came over with a blushing face, tongue sticking out, "Shiyan, come with me and toast to my parents and aunt."

Shi Yan supported him, and asked worriedly: "Mu Qing, do you want to sit down first, you are not even walking steadily."

"It's okay, I'm not drunk yet." Mu Qing didn't feel drunk at all, and smiled happily while leaning against him.

After bypassing several tables, they went to Xin Qing's table. On the table were Song Yichang, Song Yixian, Mu Hanshan, the eldest son of the Xin family, Xin Muyun, and his bodyguard.

Song Yimin is the protagonist today. At the chairman's table, Gu Yiming, the head of the Gu family, is also at the table. The table is full of big shots from Binhai, the mayor, and prominent figures in the political and business circles. Mr. Song and Song Rongjin, the head of the Song family, are accompanied by their lovers. .

"Mom," Mu Qing walked up to Xin Min and yelled. Xin Qing slapped her on the head and said angrily, "Drink too much and even admit your mother's mistake?"

Sisters Xin Min and Xin Lan watched the excitement and laughed.

Mu Hanshan put on airs with a cold face, he didn't even bother to give his son a look.

"I was wrong, Mom." Mu Qing lowered his head and hugged Xin Qing, apologizing coquettishly, "Come on, Shi Yan, toast Mom and Dad, let's go together."

Shi Yan supported him with one hand and held the wine glass in the other to toast Xin Qing and Mu Hanshan respectfully.

Mu Hanshan looked up and saw that it was him, and immediately lowered his face, "A man, whore, how dare you—hiss—Xin Qing, why are you stepping on me?"

Xin Qing looked at him coldly with a half-smile, and removed the high heels from his instep, "Shut up if you can't speak, on this table, everyone knows everything, no one will think you are dumb."

Mu Qing ignored Mu Hanshan, clinked glasses with Xin Qing, and said with a big tongue: "Mom, I will let Shi Yan take good care of the bracelet, don't worry."

"I have nothing to worry about." Xin Qing raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, telling her: "You two are sensible, live your life well and don't quarrel. Mu Qing, Shiyan is soft-tempered, you can't bully him. "

"Oh, Mom, you just met him and spoke for him, am I still your son?" Mu Qing said with a smile, holding Shi Yan's hand, and crossing the hand holding the wine glass with Shi Yan's hand, "We Have a cup of wine."

Xin Min and Xin Lan asked Xin Qing in surprise, "Is it so fast? Didn't you just meet someone?"

Xin Qing covered her mouth and smiled, "The two have been together for more than half a year, and Mu Qing has been chasing her for almost a year, which is not too fast."

"Oh, this child is so well hidden, we haven't seen it yet." Xin Min joked with a smile, watching the two young men arm in arm and drank the wine, and pulled her husband Song Yixian to toast together.

Song Yixian babbled: "Young man, you have no sense of propriety, in front of so many people——"

Xin Min's eyes widened when she heard this, Song Yixian had only brought his wife back half a year ago, upon seeing this, he obediently toasted with Mu Qing.

Xin Muyun leaned on the chair and looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said to Huo Ting beside him, "So, the two of us haven't had a cup of wine yet, so let's have a drink later?"

Huo Ting looked at him coldly, "You can save some face for your Xin family."

After drinking the cup of wine, Mu Qing brought Shi Yan to meet and clink glasses with the members of the Xin family at the table one by one.

The marriage between the Song and Gu families had nothing to do with the Xin family. Xin Muyun just came back on behalf of his father to give the Song family a face.

After drinking here, they drank with the surrounding tables. In addition to Gu Yiming, the head of the Gu family, there was also the son-in-law, Chen Mingxu, who was recruited by the family.

Shi Yan saw him at the wine table and greeted him politely.

Chen Mingxu's physical condition was even worse than what he had seen before, and there was a dead look in his eyes.

After seeing Shi Yan, he forced a smile, "Shi Yan, go to Uncle's place to play when you have time, and tell Uncle about your father."

"Sorry, I'm very busy at work right now, so I don't have much time."

Shi Yan calmly refused, instinctively not liking this man very much.

Chen Mingxu glanced at Mu Qing who went to another table to toast, and asked in a low voice, "Are you with First Young Master Mu?"

Shi Yan raised her glass with both hands, took a sip, and then said: "You take it easy, I'm going to respect others."

Chen Mingxu said anxiously: "Is your grandma also in Binhai? I want to visit another day. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

"Grandma is in a nursing home now. We appreciate Mr. Chen's wishes." This person always had a familiar attitude, and Shi Yan couldn't figure out what the relationship between him and his father was.

After a round of drinking, Mu Qing couldn't hold on any longer, and the servant came to help him to rest in the back room of the banquet hall.

In the room, there were several other people who were too drunk to rest on their stomachs.

Shi Yan saw that Mu Qing had been drinking and hadn't eaten, and was worried that he would hurt his stomach. After the servant gave Mu Qing the anti-alcohol medicine, he went to the front to get Mu Qing something to eat.

The banquet lasted for three hours. After the end, the mahjong tables were spread out in the banquet hall, and the mahjong and card players gathered in one place.

Song Rongke took her girlfriends and friends to go out to play, and Xin Min and the others met for a beauty treatment and haircut.

Mu Qing rested in the side room for an hour and a half, and went back to play mahjong with Song Rongyin and the others. At that time, he was quite bored, and accidentally saw Meng Yun sitting on a stool in the garden pavilion, puffing clouds, and went out to sit beside him.

"Meng Yun, long time no see." In the senior year, everyone was busy with internships and rarely went to school. In order to track down Jiang Keqing's whereabouts, Meng Yun rarely showed up.

The two haven't seen each other in the sun for a long time.

Meng Yun looked at him and shook the ashes into the simple ashtray he carried with him, "It's been a long time. How is your work?"

"I have already signed a contract with Jinghua." Shi Yan said, "And you, do you have any news about Jiang Keqing?"

"..." Meng Yun was silent, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Who do you think is the most likely person to do this?"

Shi Yan shook his head. He didn't know much about Jiang Keqing's friendships, but Meng Yun protected him so strictly, so it was impossible for him to have messy friends.

Meng Yun raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, but did not continue to ask.

Shi Yan said to him: "No matter what, you have to take care of yourself. As long as you can use me, feel free to ask. Although I may not be able to help you."

Meng Yun nodded.

"By the way, are you and strict?"

At the ancestral hall during the salute at noon, it was obvious that Strict Jun and Meng Yun got a lot closer.

"There are a lot of compromises in life." Meng Yun smiled wryly, and turned his head to look at him, "Don't you have a deep understanding?"

"Yes." Shi Yan stopped asking.

Meng Yun knew what he was doing, asking too much would make him feel disgusted.

"I suspended Keqing from the school." Meng Yun said, although the police had already reported her missing.

"Ah."

There were suddenly very few things to talk about between him and him. Unlike working in a bar before, they could complain about customers and discuss work when they walked home together. Now the intersection between them has almost disappeared.

The two just sat together in the small pavilion in the garden and accompanied each other silently, unfamiliar yet familiar.

Looking up, he saw Song Rongzhen go around the flowers and stop Lu Jingyang who was talking with Mu Chunhao, and said something solemnly, the three of them exchanged opinions and left.

Shi Yan frowned and looked at the backs of the three of them. Song Rongzhen was still so young, what would they have to talk about with Lu Jingyang?

Forget it, this is not something I can worry about.

Song Rongyin's second wedding was held overseas, but Shi Yan did not attend with Mu Qing because of work.

In November, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and the clothes in the cloakroom are gradually replaced by coats, cashmere sweaters and long cotton trousers.

On the day Lu Wanyu was discharged from the hospital, it began to rain for the first time in Binhai winter.

The drizzle was falling, covering the whole city like smoke and fog.

After paying the bill and completing the discharge procedures, Lu Wanyu suddenly notified Shi Yan not to live with him.

Shi Yan saw that his face was pale, flustered, trembling all the time, and asked worriedly, "Is there any other discomfort? Do you want the doctor to check again?"

Lu Wanyu shook her head, "I'm fine. Let's go, bro."

Shi Yan rubbed his hair, "Brother Room has already prepared for you, and there is a surprise for you to be discharged from the hospital. Be happy. Take a good rest for a while before thinking about the next thing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yeah." Lu Wanyu showed a desperate and heartbroken smile, "Brother, you are so kind."

Seeing that his expression was really wrong, Shi Yan said to him after getting out of the elevator: "If your father or mother came to threaten you, you can tell brother, brother will help you deal with it, don't worry about everything."

Lu Wanyu gathered the coat on her body, looked up at the raindrops falling from the sky, maybe this person beside her was the last bit of warmth in this world for her?

At the entrance of the hospital, the bodyguard Xiao Zeng got out of the car to help open the rear compartment.

I lived in the hospital for nearly a month, and I packed two or three luggage.

Lu Wanyu took the luggage bag from Shi Yan's hand, and said to him with a smile: "Brother, as I said just now, I won't stay at your place, and I will disturb you and Brother Mu Qing."

Shi Yan said angrily: "What did you say? If you don't go to my place, where do you want to go?"

At this time, a Mercedes-Benz stopped in front, the door opened, and Song Rongzhen walked over with an umbrella open, "It's a bit of a traffic jam, I'm late, Lu Wanyu."

Lu Wanyu took two steps back with the luggage in his hand, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Brother, I'm going to live with Song Rongzhen, and I won't stop studying. I'm already in my third year of high school, and I can graduate in a few months. Brother, Thank you, thank you for being so kind to me."

Tears fell quietly, Lu Wanyu walked up to Song Rongzhen, her face was full of fear and repulsion, but she was still grinning, desperate and crazy.

"Wan Yu! What happened, what did he do to you?" Shi Yan rushed over to grab Lu Wanyu, but was stopped by Song Rongzhen, "Mr. Shi, this is a deal between me and Mr. Lu, and it has nothing to do with you. You'd better not interfere."

"Song Rongzhen, you're crazy, what do you think of Wan Yu?" Shi Yan always thought that Song Rongzhen had some affection for Lu Wanyu, otherwise why would he come to him again and again, showing deep hatred for him rejecting her.

Song Rongzhen sneered, "I should ask you, what do you think of yourself? If you are a plaything, you should look like a plaything, what kind of music do you put on, how high do you pretend to be?!"

Lu Wanyu asked the driver to help him put the three luggage bags into the trunk, looked at Shi Yan numbly and said, "Brother, my father sold me to him. My dear father, he treats me like a man, a prostitute." Same, sold it to this man!"

"You don't want to save me." The umbrella fell from his hand, and tears flowed unconsciously. Lu Wanyu shivered from the cold, facing the cold rain, and said, "Brother, go back and leave me alone." .Even my own father, my own mother, treated me like this, treating me like trash—"

"Don't give up on yourself!" Shi Yan yelled angrily, "Wan Yu, I won't let you give up! Come here, go back with brother, Song Rongzhen is here, brother will handle it. Don't be afraid."

Lu Wanyu shook her head, "No, brother, you can't let me get you into trouble. They, except brother, are all beasts! Just treat them like beasts! I'm fine!"

"Wan Yu!" Shi Yan pushed Song Rongzhen away and reached out to Lu Wanyu, "Wan Yu, I know you are sad, but listen to my brother, don't go, Wan Yu, don't go, your father and mother don't love you , you have to love yourself and cherish yourself. Be obedient, okay?"

Song Rongzhen stopped Shi Yan forcefully, and even brought bodyguards over. At the same time, Xiao Zeng also rushed over to help, and the two sides were at war in the hospital parking lot.

Shi Yan took out her mobile phone and dialed Song Rongqin's phone number directly. Song Rongzhen was confident and called out, "Lu Wanyu!"

"Brother!" Lu Wanyu screamed and knelt down on the wet ground, "Brother, please, let me go."

"Father's company - this is, my only use. Brother!"

Lu Wanyu's face was innocent, with rain dripping from the tips of her hair.

Shi Yan cut off the phone in her hand and looked at him disappointedly, "Wan Yu, you promised brother that no matter what happens, you can't give up on yourself."

Bypassing Song Rongzhen and his bodyguards, Shi Yan walked slowly in front of Lu Wanyu, "There are many difficult moments in life, people are so painful that they don't know what to do, they are desperate and suffocating, Wanyu, we have to learn Cross over one by one, instead of letting yourself go with the flow."

Lu Wanyu knelt on the ground and hugged his waist, "Brother, forgive me, forgive me for not being as strong as you, forgive me for not being as strong as you, and not afraid of wind and rain. I am no longer I know why I was born and I don’t know how to live.”

"I know, you are still just a child." Shi Yan hugged him tightly in pain, "You are still just a child, so you can rely on me, you treat me as an older brother, and I treat you as a younger brother, Wan Yu, you rely on me brother!"

"No! No!" Lu Wanyu raised her head, the world is so cold, even hugging each other can't keep warm.

"My brother, he is so good, so good, I can't hurt him, I can't bring him bad luck. I'm sorry, brother."

Letting go of Shi Yan, Lu Wanyu stood up and raised an ugly smile, "Brother, I will study hard and not be lazy, don't worry, I will take a photo of the report card for you to see after the final exam."

Song Rongzhen turned around and grabbed Lu Wanyu's arm and dragged him to the car, "What kind of bitter scene is playing, come with me!"

Before getting into the car, Lu Wanyu opened the car door and suddenly shouted to Shi Yan: "Brother, I like you, I like you the most! I love you, brother, I love you!"

Song Rongzhen grabbed him angrily, pushed him into the car, looked back at Shi Yan with cold eyes, both of them were drenched by the rain.

Shi Yan had never felt so powerless before, Lu Jingyang shattered Lu Wanyu's last hope and made him give up completely, even if he wanted to save him, he was powerless.

"Song Rongzhen, treat him better." The only thing he can do is to say such empty words, what can he do?

This child relied on him so much from beginning to end, but in the end he couldn't do anything for him.

Song Rongzhen smiled wildly before getting into the car, "Haha, I won! Shi Yan, grab me, what are you?!"

It's just a child's desire to win and lose, it's just a child's desire to destroy everything if he doesn't get the toy he wants, so he wants to get it at any cost.

Shi Yan watched the car drive away in front of him, he didn't know if he was right to give up at this moment, or should he take Lu Wanyu away forcibly regardless of Lu Wanyu's wishes?

It is absolutely impossible for the members of the Song family to turn a blind eye to Song Rongzhen's actions. Shi Yan believes that after taking Lu Wanyu away, there must be a way to deal with Song Rongzhen.

But what about Lu Jingyang, what about Lu Jingyang?

For his company, for his own life, he will definitely use more drastic methods to drive Lu Wanyu to a dead end.

Maybe, this is also a chance for Lu Wanyu, isn't it?

Shi Yan was very confused, he couldn't figure out, how could a person be so selfish, and still pretend to be affectionate to him repeatedly confessing to him in a dignified manner.

Lu Jingyang.

A creepy man!
