Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 63 When did you have someone you liked?

After Sang Yu came out of the dark utility room, he hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and left quickly.

Huo Qiting was still waiting for her outside and couldn't keep her waiting.

Before going out, he turned on his cell phone and took a photo of his face. He used a tissue to wipe off the mottled lipstick on his lips. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he went to find Huo Qiting.

He was still waiting by the railing of the balcony.

Sang Yu approached and said in his usual voice: "Mr. Huo, let's go."

"Okay." Huo Qiting put away the phone and gave her the flowers.

Sang Yu hesitated and asked seriously: "Can I really take it away? Isn't it a little bad?"

Huo Qiting thought she was too cute, so he curled his lips and smiled, "Why don't you ask the staff how much they charge, and I'll buy it."

Sang Yu said without thinking: "That's too troublesome, let's put it back."

Seeing that she really wanted to put it back, Huo Qiting hurriedly said: "I was joking, just take it, it doesn't matter, I am friends with the organizer."

Only then did Sang Yu accept it.

Leave the dinner hall.

After getting in the car, Sang Yu excused himself as sleepy and leaned against the car window to squint for a while.

Her mind was very confused and her thoughts were complicated, and she didn't want Huo Qiting to see it.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the scene of being pressed against the door by Xi Jinbai.

His breath occupied her mouth forcefully, getting deeper and deeper bit by bit.

His scent still lingered vaguely on her lips, and the deep and hoarse voice sounded clearly in her ears.

She couldn't understand Xi Jinbai's behavior tonight. Didn't they already reach an agreement to end the relationship when they broke up? Why did he suddenly say that he wanted to start over again after so long?
No matter what he thought, she could never look back. It was difficult for her to adapt to life without him. She just wanted to live her life well now.

A moth only has the courage to fly into a flame once. Why waste time and energy on things that you know will have no results?

The car slowly stopped at the door of the hotel. Sang Yu pulled away from his thoughts, opened his eyes, said goodbye to Huo Qiting, got out of the car and went in.

I went back to the room, took a shower, and stood in front of the mirror on the washbasin to apply skin care.

Thanks to Jin Bai, the inner corners of his mouth are still a little swollen, but you can't tell without looking carefully.

At night, Sang Yu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. After thinking about it, he simply took the mobile phone on the bedside table and changed the ticket. He would return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow afternoon, so that he would never meet Xi Jinbai again.

After waking up from sleep, having breakfast in the hotel, he went to the hospital to see Xu Linzhou. His injury was recovering well, and Sang Yu could return to Hong Kong Island with peace of mind.

Knowing that she was leaving, Xu Linzhou suppressed his reluctance and asked, "Going back to Hong Kong Island this afternoon?"

These days seem to go by extremely fast.

Sang Yu nodded, "Well, I have been staying in Suzhou for more than a week this time. The studio is afraid that Meng Qing will be too busy alone."

Xu Linzhou was silent, and finally said: "Then, keep in touch in the future."

Sang Yu said yes.

It happened that "Sioux City Today Times" was playing on the TV.

Sang Yu didn't pay attention at first, but he turned his attention to the TV when he heard Xi Jinbai's name.

The host took the microphone and announced in a straight tone: "Today, we interviewed Mr. Xi Jinbai, the new president of Xi's. It is understood that Xi's will continue to explore new market space in the future and realize the global development of industry and society... …”

There are many professional terms, and Sang Yu doesn’t know much about finance or economics.

Until the end, the host mentioned: "The editor finally asked Mr. Xi a personal question. Everyone knows that some time ago, Mr. Xi and Miss Ji Mingzhu, the daughter of Ji's Jewelry, had rumors that something good was about to happen. So is this news true?"

Then a recording of the interview was inserted. Xi Jinbai doesn't like to show his face in public. So far, there are only a few blurry photos that were secretly taken online.

His voice came out clearly: "Our two families just have a normal cooperative relationship, and we have not considered anything else."

Host: "Does that mean the rumors are false?"

Xi Jinbai replied calmly: "Currently, I have no plans to get married, and my relationship with Miss Ji is just an ordinary social relationship."

"Sang Yu?"

Xu Linzhou's voice called Sang Yu back.

She came to her senses, "Huh?"

Xu Linzhou handed over the peeled and cut apple in his hand, "Would you like to eat an apple?"

Sang Yu took it, "Thank you."
-
At noon, Min Jiangyue and Jiang Tang came back from completing projects at the beauty salon and received a call from Ji Wanning.

Min Jiangyue and Ji Wanning are college classmates and have always had a good relationship, so Xi Jinbai and Ji Mingzhu have known each other since childhood.

Ji Wanning is a strong business woman, born in a famous family, smart, elegant, well-educated, and courageous in the business. Ji's family has developed better and better under her hands in recent years.

This was the first time she was angry with Min Jiangyue, "Jiang Yue, even if Xi Jinbai doesn't want to be with my Mingzhu, he can still discuss it in advance. Such blatant denial of the marriage will not save any face for our Ji family. Let Mingzhu do it in the future." How to gain a foothold in the circle?"

Min Jiangyue was still confused and had no idea what happened. "What did Xi Jinbai do?"

"Watch the news yourself." Ji Wenning was so angry that her chest heaved. "You agreed with them at the beginning, but now you have gone back on your word. Your son publicly slapped our Ji family in the face for a woman. I am just a precious daughter. She has never suffered any injustice since she was a child, so you should give me an explanation for this matter!"

Min Jiangyue had two heads and two heads, and his brain was almost turning into mush.

woman? Where did the woman come from?

She even doubted whether she was Xi Jinbai's biological mother and knew nothing about her son. "I'm sorry, I haven't figured out the situation yet. Can I give you an answer after I ask clearly?"

Ji Wanning hung up the phone.

Min Jiangyue's face looked very ugly.

Jiang Tang asked in confusion: "What's wrong, aunt?"

Min Jiangyue didn't say anything. He dialed Xi Jinbai's phone number directly and gave the order: "Xi Jinbai, please go home now!"

Xi Minghan came down from upstairs and saw that his wife was very angry, "Who made you angry?"

Min Jiangyue just had nowhere to vent his anger, so he angered him, "Your son! I tell you, don't stop me today!"

Xi Minghan: "..."

Jiang Tang didn't dare to say anything when things like this happened.

Half an hour later, Xi Jinbai came back.

Jiang Tang gave him a wish-for-blessing look.

Servants lower their sense of presence and find work by themselves.

There was silence in the huge living room.

Xi Jinbai knew what was happening and had already thought of the consequences.

He said: "Dad, Mom."

Min Jiangyue unleashed all his anger in an instant: "Don't call me mom! Once your wings are hardened, you can do whatever you want, right? You're still trying to kill me first! Where are you going to put my face? How do you want me to talk to the Ji family?" explain?"

Xi Jinbai said calmly: "I never agreed to the marriage, and they didn't discuss it with me in advance. It was the Ji family who took it upon themselves to spread the word. I don't need to say how much benefit the Ji family has received for this. The Xi family doesn't owe them anything." What."

If we really talk about family status, there is a gap between the Xi family and the Ji family. The Xi family is a top wealthy family, a wealthy family. Being connected with the Xi family is equivalent to having a priority pass in the business world, and you can get countless conveniences.

Min Jiangyue was still angry, picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at him, "You are still reasonable, right? Did you promise to listen to me before about marriage? Now you are doing this to me? Are you trying to beat me? s face?"

At least, if we discuss it with her in advance and think of countermeasures, she won't be caught off guard by being questioned in front of Ji Wanning. Doesn't she want to lose face?
Besides, she's not the kind of forceful and unreasonable parent. Can she really force him to marry someone he doesn't like?
Xi Jinbai stood there without hiding, and the pillow fell on him and rolled to his feet.

He remained silent and admitted that he was in the wrong. Before he met Sang Yu, he had promised to let his family arrange his marriage, because at that time, it didn't matter who he married, but now he couldn't do it.

Min Jiangyue calmed down and continued to ask: "The Ji family said you denied your relationship with Ji Mingzhu in such a big way because of a woman? Where did you get the woman?"

She has failed too much as a mother. She has to learn about her son from outsiders! If word gets out, I’ll really laugh out loud!
Xi Jinbai said frankly: "The person I like."

"When did you find someone you liked?" Min Jiangyue and Jiang Tang said in unison.

Even Xi Minghan looked at him in surprise.

Xi Jinbai: "Very early."

"Very early? Then you didn't tell me earlier! Are you kidding me! I worry about your marriage every day!" Min Jiang Yue turned off the fire and looked around, "Our family's Where’s the stick? I have to hit him today!”

Jiang Tang quickly took her arm and interceded: "Aunt, calm down, anger hurts your body, there is no need to be angry with yourself and punish him with other things."

Xi Minghan also stopped him and said, "Don't be angry. Ask first before talking."

Min Jiangyue glared at him, "They are all your good sons!"

Xi Minghan remained silent and was shot while lying down.

Min Jiangyue calmed down under Jiang Tang's comfort, but he still didn't calm down.
-
Xi Jinbai was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

He has never made any mistakes since he was a child, he is always perfect no matter what he does, he never lets his family worry about him, and he is punished to kneel down for the first time in history.

Min Jiangyue was showing mercy by not hitting him.

Late at night, the housekeeper Aunt Mei went to the ancestral hall and called him up, "Master, please get up quickly and go have something to eat. My wife is just angry. She will be fine when she is over."

Aunt Mei had worked in the Xi family for decades and was often at Min Jiangyue's side. What she said meant that Min Jiangyue was relieved.

Xi Jinbai stood up from the futon and relaxed his knees, which were so numb that they had lost consciousness.

Everyone in the Xi family went to rest, only the dining room was lit.

Aunt Mei went to the kitchen to bring out the warm meals.

Xi Jinbai had no appetite, so he ate casually.

Jiang Tang couldn't sleep. She was so damn curious that she kept thinking when she couldn't get the answer, so she went downstairs to find Xi Jinbai, pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down, "Xi Jinbai, who is the person you like? ?Do I know him?"

Xi Jinbai said nothing.

Jiang Tang couldn't help but guess: "Is there no such person at all? Is it an excuse you made to get out of the marriage?"

Xi Jinbai still ignored her and turned on his phone to send a WeChat message to Sang Yu.

Last night at the dinner, he lost control and scared her.

[Sorry for scaring you yesterday. 】

I don’t want a red exclamation mark popping up below as soon as I send it.

　PS: I was punished to kneel and blacklisted...

　　Should we vote and celebrate?
