Chapter 114: Be Brave Once
The most invincible thing in this world is regret! These two words are of great importance.
That year, her mother passed away and left her; later, Lu Minqiu entered the door, Feng Huanian gave all her love to the mother and son; after that, Qiao Siyan abandoned her and chose Liu Xinyu. From beginning to end, she had no chance to regret it!
All the emotions that are crucial to her in life are far away from her.
If Huo Xingyan left her one day, he wouldn't want her anymore...
I held my phone tightly, my palms tightly grasped the hem of my skirt on my legs, my eyes closed, and my black eyelashes trembled slightly...
That day, she didn't dare to think about it.
And how stupid she was before, she actually rejected the person who had always been good to her because of her inner timidity and pushed him to someone else's side...
Feng Mi, is that you? Wrong, that's not you!
Mingyue Tower, Tingyu Pavilion—
After the manager left, two families were left in the private room.
When you pass through a classical screen, the purpose is a large round sandalwood table, the best pear blossom table and chairs, and exquisitely mounted Chinese paintings hanging on the walls, all of which are ink paintings, and even the patterns on the screen are also pictures of ladies in the late Qing Dynasty.
On the edges, vases and porcelain are everywhere, and the air of ink and wash is flooded in the air, and poetry and painting are everywhere.
Even outside that window is the railing. If it comes during the day and rainy, it will be a really leisurely feeling. This is the origin of the "Tingyu Pavilion".
A waiter stepped forward and opened the pear blossom wooden chair for them.
Zhao Qingli and Huo Xingyan sat here, and opposite were the mother and daughter of the Chu family, and even Mr. Chu came with him. I guess he attached great importance to this blind date banquet.
After sitting down, the waiter stepped forward, filled the two of them with tea, and then retreated on his own.
He picked up the tea cup, Huo Xingyan lowered his eyes and took a sip. The tea was very green, and the green tea leaves were floating on the tea surface. After the rain, the fragrance gradually spread. When he smelled it, he saw the beauty.
Huo Xingyan didn't care at all about the gaze on the other side. His graceful and outstanding posture made Chu's mother and Chu Lao nod secretly.
"Cough cough..." He coughed and said with a clear cough. Old Chu, who was wearing a simple Zhongshan suit, smiled. "I often hear the reputation of the fourth young master of the Huo family. This view is indeed extraordinary!"
Touching the chin where only a few beards remain, there was a smile hidden in the eyes of the elite old Chu, "Old Huo has been brave all his life, but even his children and grandchildren are so outstanding. I am really envious!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xingyan put down the teacup, "Old Chu's words are so serious. If you want to say excellent, Miss Chu is definitely not inferior to a man!"
Although he was praising Chu Yuexi, his eyes never looked at the latter.
Old Chu and Chu's mother both looked at each other, and smiles that both understood each other flashed in their eyes.
However, Chu Yuexi was not shy at all and said generously: "Huo Xingyan, you have vision!"
"Yuexi..." Chu's mother gave Chu Yuexi a glance with a little blame, "Every girl is a little more reserved!"
Chu's mother felt deeply in love with this daughter.
She had only one son and one daughter in her life. She wanted a girl at the beginning. After Chu Yuexi gave birth to her, she became the pearl in the family's eyes.
But this girl doesn't like working in her own company and insists on making a fortune. As a secretary, she really becomes the secretary of the president of the American AK Group.
When going out with a group of noble ladies, Chu's mother often feels that her children are very proud.
Later, after returning to China, I remembered the baby marriage I had made when I was a child, so I agreed with Zhao Qingli to let the two children meet.
As a result, the daughter who was above the top actually fell in love with Huo Xingyan.
If this beautiful thing is accomplished, the marriage between Huo and Chu families will also benefit the Chu family in all kinds of benefits.
"mom--"
Hearing the sound, Chu Yuexi gave Chu's mother a dissatisfied look, snuggled up to the latter, and felt very delicate, "Don't let me tear my platform in front of the Fourth Young Master!"
"Besides, if I were so reserved, such a good man would be snatched away!"
Punching her mouth, Chu Yuexi acted coquettishly, and occasionally looked at Huo Xingyan's expression opposite from time to time. Seeing him silent, she said even more excitedly, "If the Fourth Young Master is stolen, I see where you go to find a son-in-law!"
"Oh!" Chu's mother raised her eyebrows and joked about the latter, "Before she was talking about her horoscope, she started to help her!"
"It's not too late, it's all mine!"
Chu Yuexi's mouth was flat, and her face as big as a palm, was bright and bright.
Today she was wearing a pure black dress with a short skirt with a one-length collar design, revealing a pair of collarbones like butterfly wings. The hip-wrap design was barely until her thighs, revealing her slender and straight legs. A circle of waving her tail around her ears added a bit of playfulness and innocence to this originally restrained black dress.
Although Chu's mother was happy to say this in her heart, she just happened to test the Huo family's wishes, but she said, "Qingli, my daughter is really less and less arrogant as she grows. Look, what she said!"
After Zhao Qingli said hello from the door, she never spoke. One reason was that she did not understand Huo Xingyan's reason for attending the banquet today; the other was that she originally thought Chu Yuexi was dignified and knew the Grand Principal, but now she felt more displeased when she heard her talking.
After all, her son didn't like her yet! She talked openly about the belonging of her son in front of her and her son.
But I thought so in my heart, but I could only say this, "No! Fenfang, you said this, and we are not outsiders! Besides, most of the girls who have returned from studying abroad are like this! This is not as good as we were back in the past. Now, we all talk about free love!"
"That's--" After Zhao Qingli's words, Chu Yuexi took it automatically, "Mom, you see, you are not as enlightened as Aunt Zhao!"
"You," Chu's mother lit up Chu Yuexi's nose, and her words were full of pampering, and she didn't mean anything to blame.
"Okay, since Qingli and Xingyan have arrived, let's start the meal first!"
After Mr. Chu gave his order, Chu's mother and Chu Yuexi had to interrupt their words.
But in a moment, the private room door opened.
The chef wearing a chef's hat walked in first, followed by the waiter pushing the dining cart, and ordered the waiter to put the dishes one by one and lift the porcelain lid on it. The fragrance of the dishes came to his nose, which made people's index fingers move.
The most distinctive thing about Mingyuelou is Jiangnan dishes, which are particularly famous for private dishes. This table happens to be Subang dishes.
Except for the seafood dish in the middle, the rest are special dishes of Subang cuisine.
The chef introduced them one by one: In addition to the most famous Wansan pig trotters, Jinling duck, and Su's sauce meat, water shield, silverfish soup sauce and snails and phoenix tail shrimp are all the most common home-cooked dishes.
The delicious dishes were plastered in blue and white porcelain plates, with red and green colors combined, and green in color, which made people's index fingers tremble.
The chef happened to be a master who specializes in Su Bang cuisine. Today, the boss said that a table of distinguished guests arrived and started to prepare soup from the morning. Now, seeing that the people on this table are extraordinary, I introduced them very seriously.
When you get to their territory and come to Mingyue Tower to dine at the noble level, you can only know the guests with your eyes.
"Ayan, try this!" A phoenix-tailed shrimp was picked up into Huo Xingyan's bowl through public chopsticks.
"..." Breathing tightened, and following the pair of public chopsticks, it looked like Chu Yuexi was smiling.
Suddenly, Huo Xingyan's clear eyes sank slightly.
Everyone seemed to have sensed the change at that moment.
"What's wrong, A Yan?" Chu Yuexi held the public chopsticks, at a loss. She didn't understand what was wrong.
"That," Zhao Qingli stood up and explained, "Our family Xingyan has a cleanliness obsession and is not used to eating foods that others have picked up for him!"
Just now, when I saw Chu Yuexi picking shrimps for Huo Xingyan, Zhao Qingli's body became tense.
You should know that in the past, even if she, the mother, picked up food for him, there would be no good results.
"...so that's how it is." Holding the public chopsticks, Chu Yuexi was a little at a loss.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, the chef had already retreated with the waiter, and two waiters were waiting by the side.
"Eat food, everyone eats food, don't ruin the atmosphere!" Although Zhao Qingli doesn't like Chu Yuexi, this should be taken seriously on the surface.
"Yes, eat vegetables!" Mr. Chu came out to reconcile. Although Chu's mother was a little dissatisfied, she still suppressed her.
Staring at the phoenix-tailed shrimp in the bowl, Huo Xingyan never moved his chopsticks. Just when Zhao Qingli was about to change the bowl for him, he saw that he had raised his eyes and glanced at Old Chu opposite him with a clear look.
"Old Chu, actually, today, I have something I want to explain!"
After saying that, the gaze slid towards Chu Yuexi.
When he felt a little nervous, Chu Yuexi had a bad premonition, so he heard his clear voice speak indifferently, "I feel very sorry about the last time I met Miss Chu, so I have always wanted to invite Miss Chu to a meal to show my apology."
"And yesterday, Miss Chu invited me, so I agreed!"
"This--" Old Chu swept towards Chu Yuexi on the side with some confusion, very puzzled.
"Huo Xingyan!" Before Mr. Chu and Chu's mother asked, Chu Yuexi had already stood up. Her beautiful melon-shaped face raised anger and humiliation, and her eyes were staring at Huo Xingyan with a burning look, "Do you have to explain this matter clearly in such an occasion!?"
She thought that he would appear, but she agreed to pretend to be stupid, but in the end...
He accelerated Lao Wang all the way. When the car body reached Mingyue Tower, Feng Mi pushed open the car door and ran out.
After asking the guests at the table at Tingyu Pavilion at the lobby counter, Feng Mi ran up the stairs in the middle.
On the third floor, in the corridor, she searched one by one, and finally found Tingyu Pavilion.
The sound insulation of the private room is very good, and the sealed honey cannot be heard outside. Fortunately, there is no internal lock in this place, so no one will break in easily, so it is easy to push the door in.
"What's the matter? Yue Xi?" Chu's mother looked at her daughter in confusion, and also puzzled by Mr. Chu and Zhao Qingli.
