Falling tonight

Chapter 26
A sound of thunder on the ground woke up Zhao Rou's wandering thoughts.

"No!" Zhao Rou stood up quickly.

Several people looked up at her.

Zhao Shijin's face darkened: "Sit down! Don't you listen to your parents?"

Mother Han thought she was still angry with Han Zihao, so she comforted her generously: "Zhao Rou, Zihao was just confused for a moment, and he knew he was wrong. I know you are angry, but don't be emotional, okay?"

Zhao Rou sneered: "He was confused for a moment, but he still..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shijin shouted angrily: "Zhao Rou! Think carefully about what I said on the phone this morning!"

Zhao Rou suddenly looked at Zhao Shijin with disbelief in her eyes. After standing still for half a minute, she finally sat back on the sofa.

On one side is her lifelong event, on the other side is the answer she has been waiting for for more than ten years...

She suppressed her inner anxiety and told herself to endure it no matter what happened.

Let’s talk about getting what we want from Zhao Shijin.

After lunch, when the Han family was leaving, they picked up a trunk full of gifts from the car and gave them to the Zhao family.

The servant brought the gift to the guest room. Zhao Shijin looked at it happily, Zhou Yun smiled against his will, and Zhao Fangyi said with a look of fun: "Sister, in a little while, you will call me cousin-in-law, tsk tsk, both of us." How come the seniority is so messed up?"

Zhao Rou scolded her coldly: "Really? I'll go to the Mu Head Office later and ask if he recognizes you as my cousin-in-law?"

"You!" Zhao Fangyi blew her nose and glared.

Zhao Rou asked Zhao Shijin: "Dad, what about what you promised me?"

Zhao Shijin said calmly: "Let's talk when we come back tonight. The Han family has invited our whole family to dinner tonight, and the Mu family will also go. Please be careful and don't embarrass us."

The Mu family would also go, and Mu Zhou would also be there. Thinking that if he knew that she was going to be engaged to Han Zihao, she felt inexplicably flustered and wanted to escape.

"I won't go. I have cooperated with you to come back to see them. Dad, you should abide by what you said."

Zhao Shijin was unhappy: "How can that work? The Han family specially invited us to their family gathering just to let their family meet you. Then discuss with the Mu family whether to put the engagement date on the same day as your sister."

Zhao Rou felt powerless for a while: "Dad, have you ever asked my opinion on my marriage?"

Zhao Shijin choked and became angry: "I am your father! I still want to ask your opinion?!"

Zhao Rou smiled coldly: "Then do you know why they came to propose marriage? Do you know why Han Zihao is injured? Do you know what he did to me?"

Zhao Shijin's cheeks twitched and he muttered for a long time without saying a word.

From Han's mother's few words and Zhao Rou's attitude towards Han Zihao, he guessed to some extent that Zhao Rou must have been bullied by Han Zihao, and she was bullied so badly that the Han family came directly to propose marriage regardless of their son's injury. and.

But they are all thousand-year-old foxes. If the Han family doesn’t tell them, they certainly won’t ask.

Zhou Yun sneered at the side: "No one cares about details, only the results. The current result is that the Zhao family can indeed marry the Han family. And the Han family is backed by the Mu family, and it will only bring more resources to the company in the future. Young Master! Your father has given you a favor, you have to repay him, right? Don’t be ungrateful, there is no shop like this in this village, not to mention you are still in love with Han Zihao, why are you pretending to be reserved? "

Zhao Rou laughed angrily. It turned out that she was used as a bargaining chip for marriage, so there was nothing to argue about. After getting what she wanted from Zhao Shijin, she would find a way to get out of the marriage on her own.

So she turned and walked outside.

Zhao Shijin's voice came from behind: "You must go to a dinner party tonight. After dinner, I will tell you what you want to know when you come back."

Zhao Rou drove back to her apartment.I don’t have time to go to Wei County in the afternoon. It takes 3 hours to drive there and I won’t be able to get back in time for dinner.She changed her plan to find Ma Youguan until tomorrow.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she seemed to smell the cold pine wood fragrance he left last night, and she began to have a headache again when she met Mu Zhou at the dinner party in the evening.

Do you want to explain to him the reason for the engagement?The explanation was too pretentious. If he didn't explain, wouldn't it be in vain for him to beat her up on her behalf?
Zhao Rou took out her phone and scrolled to his WeChat, repeatedly editing and deleting the text, but in the end she didn't think of a reason to explain to him.

Haizhiyun is the top restaurant in Asia City. It brings together various cuisines from all over the world. Only well-known people in Asia City can make reservations. It is extremely luxurious.

In the "Twilight" box on the highest floor, the bright floor-to-ceiling windows overlook all the night views of Asia City, which are gorgeous, feasting and beautiful.

At the round table, the expressions of the people on the table were different. The parents of the Han family and the Zhao family were smiling. Han Zihao looked at Zhao Rou from time to time. Zhao Fangyi sat next to Mu Zhou with a happy face, while Zhao Rou was uneasy.

The person who made her uneasy was none other than Mu Zhou, who was sitting directly opposite her.

His expression was plain, and his black eyes were as deep as ink. When Zhao Rou met them inadvertently, she felt that there was a storm inside.

Mu Zhou's mother Qin Qin sat in the main seat and smiled gently: "It turns out that Zhao Rou is Simon. What a fate. No wonder we can become a family."

Zhao Fangyi poured water for Qin Qin diligently: "Auntie, do you know my sister?"

Qin Qin nodded, thinking about letting Mu Zhou surprise Zhao Fangyi's engagement, and was not prepared to tell Zhao Fangyi how she met Zhao Rou.

"Zhao Rou came to Lingtian to discuss business with Mu Zhou. I met him once."

Hearing this, except for Zhao Rou, all three members of the Zhao family were stunned.

Zhao Rou had said before that she would talk to Mu Zhou, but they didn't believe it. Zhao Fangyi also used this to make trouble with Zhao Rou.

Zhou Yun forced out an unnatural smile: "Our Zhao Rou is very capable, and she can even cooperate with Mr. Mu's company."

Zhao Fangyi smiled sweetly and whispered into Mu Zhou's ear: "Brother Mu, how did my sister find your company's business?"

There was an imperceptible sourness in his tone.

Mu Zhou curled his lips and looked at her sideways: "Want to know? Ask her."

Zhao Fangyi's face froze for a second, and his answer was the same as Zhao Rou's original answer. It was a typical way of kicking the ball, making it impossible for her to refute.

In front of everyone, Zhao Fangyi's smile immediately returned to its original state, and she eagerly pestered Mu Zhou to talk.

This scene fell into the eyes of other people at the dinner table. The two of them looked like a couple in love, biting each other in private. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was timid and shy, very affectionate.

Zhao Rou looked uncomfortable and tried to focus on the rice, ignoring the discomfort in her heart.

The meal was long and hard to swallow. Han Zihao sat next to her and apologized to her a lot, but she didn't respond.

As the parents of the three families chatted in depth, Mu Zhou's eyebrows knitted deeper and deeper, and his gaze towards Zhao Rou became colder.

And Zhao Rou also felt the gaze from the other side, and she lowered her head to eat, for fear of running into his deep eyes.

After the dinner, Zhao Rou saw Mu Zhou's Bentley driving away in the parking lot, then took out the key and started the Audi and headed to Zhao's house.

Thinking that Zhao Shijin was about to tell her what had been lingering in her mind, she was a little excited, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in her hands holding the steering wheel.

Not long after driving out, she suddenly saw a familiar Bentley following the car in the rearview mirror.
