From Pokfulam to Central
Chapter 55 Engaged? !
Zhou Mi's attention was all on Qu Zhi, until he found out from the corner of his eye that all the guests in the audience were focusing on him, then he played back what he had just heard in his memory.
In an instant, Zhou Mi's face became as pale as paper, and he turned his head to look in shock at the instigator who said these appalling words.I saw Zhou Xianli staring at him with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of deterrence in that smile, as if to say: You boy, just be honest with me, don't even think about saying no rashly.
Amidst the warm applause of the guests present, Mrs. Zhou came to Wan Ziying with a smile, and took her hand to the stage without saying anything.Zhou Mi felt that he had clearly seen the undisguised astonishment on Wan Ziying's face, but after the astonishment passed, he showed an unreasonable shyness and embarrassment.
Zhou Mi couldn't figure out what was going on in this situation, and he didn't want to find out, he just wanted to know what Qu Zhi should do.
Turning his head to meet Qu Zhi's eyes again, he saw that those eyes were filled with the most complicated emotions in the world, Zhou Mi couldn't tell what he saw, but this glance, he will never forget it.
Seeing Qu Zhi turned and left, Zhou Mi tried to chase after him, but Zhou Xianli grabbed his arm, and he whispered in his ear very darkly: "If you want to ruin your father's reputation from now on, you can do it now." just go."
Zhou Mi looked blankly between his parents, Wan Ziying and everyone in the audience, and finally hesitated.
Zhou Mi knew what day it was today, and he also knew how important this occasion was to Wanjia Real Estate.Looking at the countless business partners and media friends from Hong Kong and mainland China in the audience, Zhou Mi understood how much he would have to pay if he exposed his father's intentions on the spot.
After hesitating, Zhou Mi went down to the stage to look for Qu Zhi's whereabouts, only to find that this person had disappeared.In the end, Zhou Mi only saw the back of Chen Shuo running towards the exit.
"Everyone," Zhou Xianli picked up the microphone and greeted, "Today is a memorable day. If you don't mind, please ask the friends present to take a group photo for our two families. Welcome, please invite your parents to the stage. "
Chen Shuo never imagined that when he came here by accident today, he would encounter such a bloody scene.Chen Shuo didn't even think about it. Judging from Wan Ziying's first reaction, she obviously didn't know about this arrangement in advance, but in the end she followed Mrs. Zhou obediently to the stage.
Under the dilemma of whether to stay and wait and see the development of the situation for himself, or to chase the running Qu Zhi, Chen Shuo finally chose the latter, but it is a pity that he lost the will to catch up with Qu Zhi during the few seconds of hesitation just now. The best chance.
Chen Shuo returned empty-handed, and when he came back, the people in the banquet hall had already begun to socialize, he finally found Wan Ziying and Zhou Mi in the side hall, only to hear the latter questioning the former: "This is your business." Didn't the Prophet know?"
Chen Shuo stepped between the two of them and asked Zhou Mi, "Why didn't you go after him?!"
Zhou Mi was originally angry because of Wan Ziying, but when asked by Chen Shuo, his aura instantly collapsed.
"Zhou Mi, what on earth do you mean?" Chen Shuo heard the news that the girl he likes is engaged to someone else tonight, and his mood was naturally not much better. He growled, "Are you just playing around with Qu Zhi?" Is that all?!"
"I'm not!" Zhou Mi couldn't listen to such words at all, he felt that his sincerity could be learned from the world.
"Then why didn't you go after him?!"
"Chen Shuo, Chen Shuo," Wan Ziying looked at Chen Shuo's furious look and was terrified. She quickly pulled the two of them apart and explained for Zhou Mi: "It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's because his father doesn't want him to go. I His parents called his parents in to talk, and his father told him to wait here, and said that if he dared to leave, he would never enter the house again."
Chen Shuo looked in the direction of Wan Ziying's finger, only to see a closed door in the back room.
At that time, he failed to pursue Qu Zhi, and was ordered to stay by his father afterwards. Zhou Mi regretted it, so he couldn't care about Chen Shuo's attitude towards him at this time, and asked him earnestly: "Where is Qu Zhi, I think Did you chase him out?"
Chen Shuo gritted his teeth to restrain his anger. He thought he had a bit of conscience. He took out his phone and handed it to Zhou Mi, saying, "I didn't chase after him, but he sent me a WeChat message and said he was going home."
Only then did Zhou Mi feel relieved, and returned to the mess in front of him, and asked Wan Ziying the question that had not yet been answered: "My dad is going to announce his engagement today, did you know about it before?" ?”
Wan Zi showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then said lukewarmly: "I know... I don't know..."
Zhou Mi frowned and said, "What kind of answer is this?" while Chen Shuo waited for Wan Ziying's explanation with a solemn expression.
"Oh, that's it," Wan Ziying rubbed her hair randomly, and it took a long time to sort out a clue: "I know we are going to get engaged, but I don't know that it will be announced in front of so many people today. Actually, it is The day after your roadshow back to Beijing last time, my uncle and aunt brought many valuable gifts to our house to mention this matter. My mother was very happy after hearing this, but my father was noncommittal and told me to make up my own mind.
"I think that the previous two families decided that we would get married after we both graduated. You are about to finish your master's degree, and the time is indeed about the same. And at that time, I was entangled by Wu Haolong so much that I thought if we were married If you are engaged, he should be able to calm down, so he nodded."
"Are you using me as a shield?" Zhou Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, "No, do you like me, huh? I always thought that the relationship between the two of us is siblings, relatives, and I never talked about the engagement that adults said Seriously!"
Wan Ziying also looked dazed, as if she had touched a blind spot in her knowledge, "I, I don't know that you didn't take it seriously, since I was a child, I have always accepted this matter as an established fact... "
"Big Sister," Zhou Mi was going crazy, "It's the 21st century, why do you still live in a feudal society? Besides, even if you don't resist the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, can you accept that your husband is a crook? Is it? You should know better than anyone else that I like men?!"
"I know." Wan Ziying was also a little anxious, "So I guess you need a role like me. As you said, we have already regarded each other as relatives. Isn't this just how two people form a family? , will it eventually lead to the state... And I think, anyway, it is impossible for you to end up with a boy—”
"I have to thank you, right? Thank you for solving the registration problem of the Civil Affairs Bureau for me, a homosexual? Who did you hear that men and men can't get married?!" Zhou Mi was so angry that he couldn't hold back his words, and then I thought it was ridiculous that I was arguing with Wan Ziying here, and what she said just now was even more ridiculous, so I couldn't help scolding "fuck".
Although Chen Shuo was also angry that Wan Ziying had no idea to let others manipulate her, but his heart was still towards her, and finally he couldn't help interrupting Zhou Mi: "Okay, okay, you're almost done, what kind of person is she? You know? She can't even see the obvious thing that I like her, even if she hasn't gotten the hang of it, it's useless for you to worry about her. "
Wan Ziying never expected that the first confession in her life would be here and now, and she only looked at Chen Shuo with a look of astonishment.Zhou Mi frowned and glanced at this buddy, thinking what are you joining in the fun with.
Chen Shuo actually didn't expect that he would accidentally bring up this sentence, but the current situation is not suitable for continuing to discuss this issue, so he had to drag the topic back to the topic, and turned to Wan Ziying: "But this matter What you did was really wrong, even if you don't know about the relationship between your children, you should at least talk to Zhou Mi."
Speaking of this, Wan Ziying was also full of grievances, he hesitated and said: "But, on that day, when my uncle and aunt came to the house, they said that Zhou Mi was going to come together, and they went back temporarily because of something in Hong Kong. Who would have thought it was nonsense... Besides, I am a girl, how dare I take the initiative to mention this kind of thing to him..."
Zhou Mi sighed, he didn't want to dwell on how the situation has developed to this point anymore, he just wanted to find a way to solve the matter quickly, "I said Yingjie, we definitely can't make an appointment for this marriage, why don't we wait for them later?" Come out, just tell them that you don't like me, push it away, huh?"
Wan Ziying felt timid, "Huh? I said? Farewell, or should you say it?"
"I said absolutely not," Zhou Mixin said, why are you not sure about the situation? "My dad didn't inform me about this beforehand, and he just didn't intend to consider my opinion at all. And judging by your parents' reaction just now, it's obvious that you can't understand the situation." I was kept in the dark, I might be very angry in the room now, if I come out and hear that I am going to regret the marriage, the relationship between our two families will be broken."
What Zhou Mi said was indeed reasonable, but Wan Ziying really couldn't convince herself to do such a back-and-forth thing, "But, I have already personally promised my uncle and aunt before, why do you want me to go back on my word now..."
Zhou Mi also knew that there was a high probability that Wan Ziying would not be able to count on her. He glanced at the person next to her and began to rush to the doctor, "Chen Shuo, why don't you help me? Tell her parents that you like her in a while." , disagree with this marriage?"
Chen Shuo saw that Zhou Mi really didn't know what to do, so he came up with such a bad move, and sighed, "Not to mention whether this method will work or not, at least from my own point of view, I can't help you. There are too many interests involved in this matter, and it is already a mess. If I go out halfway to add to the chaos, her parents don't know what to think of me. I am serious about Wan Ziying, and I don't want to give Her parents made such a first impression."
Chen Shuo had already spoken very frankly, but Zhou Mi still wanted to be reasonable and fight for it with emotion, but at this moment, the door of the back room opened.I saw that when the parents on both sides came out one after another, their facial expressions were more dignified.
Zhou Xianli walked to Zhou Mi's side and said, "Farewell to Uncle Wan and Aunt Qing, then go upstairs with me, I have something to ask you."
Zhou Mi could only follow his words, and while saying goodbye to his uncles and aunts, he kept looking at Wan Ziying and Chen Shuo for help, but he saw that one of them dodged his eyes in embarrassment, and the other frowned and said nothing.
In an instant, Zhou Mi's face became as pale as paper, and he turned his head to look in shock at the instigator who said these appalling words.I saw Zhou Xianli staring at him with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of deterrence in that smile, as if to say: You boy, just be honest with me, don't even think about saying no rashly.
