Solstice Secrets

Zhuang Zhou knew in his heart that no matter how they tried to evade, Emily would try to keep up, and he simply stopped making excuses, and just followed if she wanted to.As for how Ling Dongzhi would react when he saw her, he himself was very worried.But one thing is obvious, if he conceals it intentionally, if the truth is revealed, the consequences will be even more serious.

The place for lunch was chosen by He Kuan, and his original plan was to get rid of this troublesome woman early and go back to his shop.Hearing that Ling Dongzhi was coming over later, how could he be willing to miss the excitement, if he was not afraid that Zhuang Zhou would turn against him in embarrassment, he really wanted to call He Qingye to have a good time together.

After a few people ordered, Zhuang Zhou called the waiter over to add a chicken soup, and asked for pear tremella soup as dessert after the meal.

Seeing that he ordered these two items, He Kuan was very curious, "Since when did you like soup and soup?"

Zhuang Zhou said without changing his face: "I have to make up for staying up late these days during the winter solstice."

Emily curled her lips slightly.She knew her mission before returning to China, and she didn't bother to hide it in the subsequent contacts.The Zhuang Zhou in her impression has always been a person who is very good at judging the situation, and she doesn't believe that Zhuang's such a big piece of cake can really be given up if he says he can give it up.It's just a quarrel with the family. Her role is to act as a bridge between Zhuangzhou and the old man. If she accepts her, the old man will naturally forgive her.He should be very clear about which choice is most beneficial to Zhuang Zhou.So in Emily's view, Zhuang Zhou's various difficulties for her are nothing more than a gesture of not being willing to bow his head, or a bargaining chip to fight for the maximum benefit with the old man.And the result she was expecting was bound to happen.

It's just a matter of time.

She was thinking like this, and didn't realize what Zhuang Zhou said until a few seconds later, he wanted to make up for his wife?Does that mean that he is going to... There was a sudden silence in the restaurant.

Emily subconsciously looked at the door of the restaurant following the eyes of the guests next to her. A young man in a white windbreaker was standing at the door and looking into the lobby.This person has broad shoulders and long legs, just standing there has a feeling of standing out from the crowd, attracting people who take a first look and unconsciously want to take a second look.

Emily felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen it there before, so she couldn't help but take another look.This young man has a handsome and vigorous face, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and there is a bit of indifference in his glances, as if others are here, but their minds are far away.

The next second, Emily's eyes widened in surprise. She saw Zhuang Zhou standing up and walking towards the beautiful young man.There was a faint smile on the young man's face, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and the young man walked back with Zhuang Zhou.

He Kuan greeted with a smile, "Mr. Ling, long time no see."

Emily's face suddenly changed.She suddenly remembered why she felt familiar when looking at him, when she was at the old man's place, she had seen the photos secretly taken back!But the young man in the photo was far away and had a profile face, so she couldn't recognize him at first glance.She never expected that the vague young man in the photo had such an appearance that people couldn't take their eyes off.

Emily suddenly felt that she was misled by the old man.The old man told her to ignore the messy people and focus on Zhuang Zhou, as long as he was taken down, everything would be fine.These days, she thinks so too.But when this man unexpectedly appeared in front of her in such a direct way, Emily suddenly realized that this was a living opponent, with him standing in front of her, if she wanted to do what the old man said It is really difficult to win Zhuangzhou's attention.

Emily forced a smile, and was thinking about the words of her self-introduction, when she saw the beautiful young man turned his face towards her, looked her up and down with glazed eyes, and asked indifferently : "You are the vanguard sent by the banker to snatch a man from me?!"

He Kuan burst out laughing, and quickly held back, but the villain in his heart beat the ground desperately.If he had known Lingdong Solstice was so much fun, he should have called He Qing just now to watch the fun together.

Emily caught her breath in her throat, coughed suddenly, and her face flushed instantly.Ever since she was a child, she has never been robbed so mercilessly, and the anger in her heart cannot be described in words.

"Are you Mr. Ling? With all due respect, compared with your appearance, your upbringing is simply too regrettable." Emily looked at him sullenly.Now she felt that this face was not beautiful at all, not only was it not beautiful, it was simply too evil.How could anyone be so rude to a lady?

Ling Dongzhi sat down beside Zhuang Zhou, and smiled nonchalantly, "You came to pry my corner, why should I be polite to you? I'm not out of my mind. Do I still want to shake hands with you and hug you?" Let me lend you two shovels politely, please don't pry them carelessly?"

Emily, "...I don't think Mr. Ling and I are rivals in love."

"Of course not." Ling Dongzhi took the soup cup that Zhuang Zhou handed over, took a sip, with a satisfied expression on his face, "I want more."

Zhuang Zhou hurriedly filled him with chicken soup.He felt that Emily would give up after seeing Lingdong Solstice.But Ling Dongzhi will definitely feel a little upset.Zhuang Zhou secretly decided that no matter what happened to Ling Dongzhi, he would let him have enough of it, and he wouldn't let Ling Dong Zhi endure his unhappiness just because of an irrelevant outsider.

As for whether other people are happy or not, what does that have to do with him?

Ling Dongzhi looked at Emily, smiled and said, "What kind of onion are you, you want to be my rival in love."

Emily's chest heaved.She also finally discovered that when a man doesn't care about your ladylike demeanor at all, things like demeanor become her biggest stumbling block.She decided to adjust her fighting style, "Mr. Ling must also know that Mr. Zhuang has a good plan for the lives of his children and grandchildren. In his plan, it is impossible for the heir of the grandchildren to choose a same-sex partner. He will Disqualified as an heir."

"What kind of heir's qualifications, is it rare?" Ling Dongzhi had an inexplicable expression on his face, "Didn't that thing Zhuang Zhou already throw away?" He turned to look at Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou nodded in affirmation, Ling Dongzhi He spread his hands and said, "Look, we are not rare. Not being qualified as the heir means that we have less trouble and more time to spend together. I think it is a very good thing."

Emily's face turned pale and pale, and her tone became more aggressive, "Don't you think your thoughts are very selfish? How do you know that Mr. Zhuang doesn't want to have a complete family and children... "

Ling Dongzhi interrupted her rudely, "How do you know that we are not a complete family? As for the children, we already have four, and we don't need to feed milk powder, buy diapers, or hire a babysitter. Help us look after the nursing home, and even know to bring us slippers when we go home every day."

Emily was holding a napkin under the table, trying desperately not to throw it in the young man's face.

He Kuan, who was sitting opposite her, was almost dying of laughter.He looked at Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of doting, as if he didn't care at all about Ling Dongzhi spraying poisonous juice on others.He Kuan began to sympathize with this beautiful woman. He should have reminded her just now: Don't try to grab things from the mentally ill.

Especially robbing men.

After Ling Dongzhi drank two bowls of soup, he finally felt a little more at ease.When she looked at Emily again, her expression became more amiable, "Let's stop being angry, come on, let me explain the truth to you."

Emily glared at him angrily. Was it anger?Who would get angry with such a dishonest person? !

Ling Dongzhi took out the attitude of educating students who are not enlightened, and reasoned with her in a pleasant manner, "You see, you have studied abroad, so you must be very smart, so you can understand what I say. "

Emily, "..."

He Kuan buried his face on the table, his shoulders shook from laughing, and he dared not look up.Zhuang Zhou felt that his appearance was wretched, so he kicked him hard under the table, but he couldn't get him up, so he simply ignored him.

Ling Dongzhi said: "First, it's understandable that you want to catch a happy child, but you can't destroy other people's families, right, this is the most basic moral bottom line. Our parents on both sides have met each other, The relationship is also fixed, and I just need to find time to go abroad to get the certificate. I don't think you want to be stopped by me when you are walking on the street, and then dragged out and pushed to the ground to strip your clothes. There seems to be a lot of news about this kind of news a while ago... Don't doubt! I can do this kind of thing!"

He Kuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, laughed again.

Emily with a livid face was blocked by Ling Dongzhi before she could refute.There is no way, he is a teacher, unless he is not willing to speak, who can compare to him in terms of talking? !

"Secondly, being a mistress requires some emotional foundation. Do you have any affair with Zhuang Zhou? No. I knew it was impossible. Look at us, although we are a man and a woman, but we stand together In other words, there are more people looking at me than you. At least from the outside, you don’t have an advantage over me. By the way, how much is your annual salary?”

Emily's eyes were slightly colored, and she reported the number with a cold face.

Ling Dongzhi nodded, "Not a lot. It's about the same price as I sell a painting."

Emily, "..."

Well, she seems to have heard from someone that the man Zhuangzhou is looking for is a painter.But she really never thought that painters are so wealthy these days.

Ling Dongzhi enlightened her earnestly, "Only with the support of the elders in Zhuangzhou, you can't be a mistress. Really, after all, it's new China, have you read the marriage law? It's better for two people to have a relationship foundation to live together."

Emily looked at him with an indescribably disgusted look, "In any age, marriage must always be done right."

There was a sympathetic look in Ling Dongzhi's eyes, "Then it's nothing to do with you. If you really want to pay attention to being well-matched, he has to marry a big consortium. If you stand with him, it's also wrong to be well-matched. Hmm , you are not as good as me, at least I earn more money than you, and I am more famous than you."

There was a rattle in Emily's head, and her good demeanor was completely destroyed, "Ling Dongzhi, I really never thought that a man like you could be so shameless."

Zhuang Zhou's face changed, "Emily, pay attention to your wording."

Ling Dongzhi didn't care, "In front of students, I am a teacher with both ability and political integrity; in front of colleagues and friends, I am a loyal partner; in front of elders, I am a filial and sensible boy; In front of my husband's mistress-to-be, I am a hard-working former partner who defends the integrity of the family, what can I not be ashamed of?"

Emily grabbed the water glass in front of her and was about to pour it over, but Zhuang Zhou quickly held it down.

Ling Dongzhi's expression also sank slightly, "Zhuang Zhou Fei called me over today, on the one hand, he didn't want me to misunderstand him, on the other hand, it was also because the education he had always received prevented him from saying too much to women. Serious words. You can’t regard his advantage as a wedge that can be used. Madam, with all due respect, the kind of person you are talking about is yourself. What good did that old man promise you? ? Money? Status? Or a promise to let Zhuang Zhou marry you? Is the sign of the Zhuang family's young mistress really that important to you?"

Emily's chest rose and fell, and there was deep hatred in her eyes, "What do you know, when I knew Zhuang Zhou, you didn't know where to hide and feed your milk."

"So there is such an origin in it." Ling Dongzhi nodded clearly, then shook his head again, "It's a pity that love has never been related to time."

Emily turned her face away, her eyes were slightly red.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly fell silent, and He Kuan stopped laughing, but his expression was still a little confused, and he couldn't understand that suddenly the expressions of several people were not right.

Zhuang Zhou held Ling Dong Zhi's hand.Things went a little out of his plan.He originally planned to introduce Ling Dongzhi to Emily, and then told her that he already had a lover.Unexpectedly, as soon as Ling Dongzhi appeared on the stage, his aura was full, and every sentence was thorny.Although he looked extremely upset, his reaction was really a huge surprise to Zhuang Zhou.

"Emily," Zhuang Zhou hesitated, and explained: "Neither I nor Dongzhi intend to humiliate you. I just want to introduce my lover to you, and I want to tell my grandpa through you, We have a very good relationship. Neither he nor I are people who will change their hearts easily. As for you, you are very smart and capable. Don’t be tricked by my grandpa. You are foolishly used as a gun by him. Really, you deserve more good person."

Emily wiped away her tears, picked up her purse and turned away without saying a word.When he walked to the door of the restaurant, he stopped again, thought for a while, then turned back, stood by the dining table, looked at Ling Dongzhi and said, "I've never seen a man as unmannered as you, you've always been so flattering Tired of it?"

Ling Dongzhi laughed, "I never thought of making the person I hate like me. The enemy's favor is worthless to me. Besides, you only appeared to hurt me. It's not normal for me to hate you." ?"

Emily really couldn't say no to him, she thought she was crazy to come back and quarrel with him.But there are some things that she doesn't say are really reconciled.

"I really want to see how long you can be arrogant, Lingdong Solstice."

Ling Dongzhi stared at her, his tea-brown eyes reflected the sunlight outside the window, so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at her, "If living with sincerity is a kind of arrogance to you, then please believe me, I will always It has been arrogant."
