Congenital deficiency

Hong Lingyu is not used to such occasions, especially when these people's eyes are full of scrutiny and probing, and he can't wait to see through his gene arrangement and combination with a single look, he will always stiffen his hands and feet, lower his head and pretend to eat .

He didn't take much food from the dinner plate, but he finished it in a while, and his stomach hasn't recovered for a long time, so he didn't go to get any more food.Seeing that the next person who was going to talk to Hong Zhuo came forward, Hong Lingyu's clenched hands on her lap were already pinching her palms, and her eyes lowered slightly, revealing only a small section of the back of her snow-white neck, which was in the black The whiteness against the suit is shocking.

At this moment, the person who came to strike up a conversation was caught by the skin, opened his mouth for a while, but suddenly forgot what he wanted to say to Hongzhuo.

Hong Zhuo glanced at the man's naked eyes, frowned displeasedly, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sharp arc, he stood up directly to block the other party's sight, and nodded his chin on the balcony not far away: "Mr. Zhao, Let's go to the balcony."

The other party didn't have any malicious intentions at first, but seeing Hong Zhuo's reaction was so big, he felt embarrassed that he had stepped on the other party's minefield for a while, so he hurriedly nodded and followed, and he didn't have the nerve to ask who the person on the sofa was.

But even though there was no one around, Hong Lingyu didn't raise her drooping head.

There are too many people here who look at him with various emotions.

For those days before the age of four, which he couldn't remember clearly, he had already been looked at by all kinds of eyes in the orphanage, and he was a little numb for a long time.Later, when he came to the Hong family, he didn't interact with others normally for 15 years, and he almost forgot what it was like to be watched by many people.

Now he was suddenly thrown into a crowd of complete strangers.Every pore and every part of the skin on his body became tight because of this, and the slightest movement could make him tense to the extreme.

Xiang Yuan came at this time, and he stared directly at the person openly.

Hong Lingyu was almost in pain from his wanton gaze, and his body was a little stiff after staying in the same posture for too long, so he couldn't help but move his legs a little and change his posture.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuan stepped forward and put on an innocent smile as if changing his face: "Hi, I'm today's birthday star, just call me Xiang Yuan~" He even stretched out his hand, apparently wanting to talk to Hong Ling Jade shook hands.

But Hong Lingyu still lowered her head and didn't give him any response.

The smile on Xiang Yuan's face froze for a moment, and he forcibly maintained it: "I see you came with Master Hong, are you also from the Hong family? What's your name?" Xiang Yuan's tone was brisk, as if a The real pure sunshine boy.

Hong Lingyu's back was stiff, and all the voices beside her ears turned into a hazy and foggy mass, and she couldn't hear clearly at all.All his attention was focused on soothing his heart so that it would not suddenly attack.

If it was usual, Xiang Yuan would feel bored if the person he was talking to ignored him so much, so he turned around and left.

But today it was at his birthday party, and the person in front of him looked down again, disdainful to talk to him at all, the anger in Xiang Yuan's heart came up, and all the usual unwillingness turned into darkness sharp.He got up from the sofa opposite, walked to Hong Lingyu and looked down at him.

In a state of high tension, Hong Lingyu's pores exploded, just waiting for the other party to dodge immediately if he made any moves.

Xiang Yuan turned his head slightly, his gaze was cold: "What air are you putting on? Do you really think you are something? How many bed warmers have come and gone around Patriarch Hong in the past few years, I think you are just one of them, When Master Hong gets tired of playing - at that time, you are not even as good as a dog."

On the balcony, Hong Zhuo had finished chatting with that Mr. Zhao and was about to end the conversation. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the sofa, and what he saw was Xiang Yuan with handsome features and a cold face, leaning over to talk to Hong Lingyu .

I don't know what the other party said, Hong Lingyu bounced up from the sofa, and her knee hit the coffee table in front of her, making a muffled sound, which made people feel pain in the flesh.But instead of covering his knees, he covered his chest instead.

Hongzhuo said "Sorry" to Mr. Zhao, turned around and strode towards the sofa, pulled him into his arms, took out a small box containing medicine from his suit pocket, and poured out a few pills for him. To Hong Lingyu, but Hong Lingyu turned his head slightly to avoid it.

"Let's go..." Hong Zhuo lowered his head, seeing the person with half of his face buried in his chest whispering, "Let's go."

"Let him go?" Hong Zhuo asked softly.

Hong Lingyu didn't speak anymore, he closed his eyes, his chest heaved and he couldn't take care of himself.

Holding the medicine in his hand, Hong Zhuo coaxed him first, "Take the medicine first, and let him go after taking it, okay?"

Hong Lingyu shook her head, her pale lips pursed tightly.

Where everyone's eyes met, the tall and tough man embraced the slender young man in his arms. When he lowered his head in concern, all the lines around his body softened strangely. Even the usually sharp eyebrows became gentle and gentle. Shu Lang.

Xiang Yuan saw God in a daze, and suddenly heard the other party's cold and low tone: "You are not going to entertain guests, what are you doing standing here?"

Xiang Yuan woke up suddenly, and found that Hong Zhuo's face was so cold that he couldn't look directly at him. He faltered for a while without saying anything. He glanced at Hong Lingyu buried in the man's arms, and then looked at it again. With Hongzhuo's cold eyes, his face was also a little pale, and finally he turned and left unwillingly.

After he left, Hong Zhuo took him to sit down on the sofa again, comforted him, took the medicine, and patiently waited for him to recover.

After the pain in Hong Lingyu's heart eased a little, she sat aside a little, and distanced herself from Hong Zhuo.

Although Hong Zhuo didn't stop him, his heart sank.What did Xiang Sandu say to him just now?He originally thought that bringing people by his side would be safe, but the fact is that his self-confidence is a bit blind. Even if he has brought people by his side, as long as he is negligent, the situation like today will happen.

When the two were silent, Patriarch Xiang rushed over after hearing the news. He first cared about Hong Lingyu's physical condition, and after getting an answer that there was nothing serious, he apologized for Xiang San.

This time Hong Zhuo was not as polite as before: "Patriarch Xiang, please ask me, what exactly did Xiang San say to my people?"

Patriarch Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that Hong Zhuo must have known what he had said, and he must have offended people a lot, so he told him that.

So Patriarch Xiang straightened his face and said that he would definitely investigate this matter: "Patriarch Hong, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

In the banquet hall, many people saw this scene in their eyes.There were also those who wanted to strike up a conversation, but they were all discouraged by Hongzhuo's aura of "don't let strangers enter".

Not long after, the banquet was halfway through, and it was time to get down to business.

The lights in the banquet hall were brightly lit, the music slowly stopped, and on the side stairs, the light strips that had been laid in advance were also lit up in bits and pieces.Patriarch Xiang brought Xiang Yuan, who had just approached Hong Lingyu, down the stairs, and stopped when he reached five or six steps. Patriarch Xiang first thanked him, then said: It's the youngest son's adult birthday, please don't be polite, eat and drink well."

Everyone responded with applause and congratulations.

Xiang Yuan was dressed in a snow-white suit, his eyes were bright, his face was full of smiles, and he exuded a sense of pride and youthful charm.

But when he glanced at Hong Zhuo and Hong Lingyu who hadn't got up in the corner, although their smiles didn't fade, their eyes became sharper.

After announcing the news, Patriarch Xiang asked Xiang Yuan to go down the stairs first. He raised his palm suddenly and pointed to his eldest son Xiang Mengyang: "Everyone, I have another news to share with you today." He said, He patted the solid shoulders of the eldest son who walked beside him, "Meng Yang, the dog son, founded a company called Chengming after returning to China two years ago, and it has done well in the past two years. I will introduce it to you today. Please take care of the business, hahaha!" After talking to Patriarch Xiang, he laughed, full of satisfaction and pride for his eldest son, his eyes narrowed so that he almost became a member of crow's feet.

During the banquet, no matter whether anyone had heard of this company or not, they also laughed, or praised a few words, or said that they would definitely join in. It seemed that they were much more sincere and enthusiastic than when they congratulated Xiang San just now.

Standing in the crowd, Xiang San couldn't keep the smile on his face when he heard the praise and flattery from everyone.

The crowd was full of excitement, but in the corner on Hongzhuo's side, he used his body and arms to isolate the noise from the side, propping up a relatively quiet corner of the space.

Hong Lingyu still lowered his gaze slightly, the excessive tension of nerves just now made him a little tired, but now his limbs are not so stiff and can be stretched a little.

Seeing that he seemed to relax a little, Hong Zhuo asked him in a low voice: "What did Xiang San tell you just now?"

Hong Lingyu thought about those words again, her heart was still throbbing, she sat up a little more with her arms propped up, sneered rarely, and only uttered two words: "Fact."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Xiang Yuan's first half of the sentence, he keenly grasped the second half of the sentence "You are not even as good as a dog".

Isn't it even worse than a dog?

Dogs can at least have the opportunity to go out for a walk, but he was kept in captivity in Hong's house for 15 years as a meat shield.

Hong Lingyu's face and facial features are delicate, which originally belonged to the elegant style that looked very comfortable, but this time his eyes were full of light, and the cold look in his raised eyes suddenly added a coolness to his whole body, kind of A thrilling feeling beyond the original temperament.

Hong Zhuo was amazed by the elegance when he raised his eyes for a moment, but then his eyebrows turned cold because of the other party's words.

"What fact?"

This time, Hong Lingyu didn't answer him.
