Princess Raising

Chapter 242 Chapter 260: Mask

At this time, the master of ceremonies explained: "Our young talent from the East is very thoughtful, and we don't want to gain too much convenience for ourselves by relying on the son-in-law of the Byrne family, so we insisted on wearing a mask and walking on the engagement stage. Forgive me, everyone, but I just want to rely on my own efforts step by step to make everyone recognize him and make everyone think that he is worthy of their beloved fiancee." The master of ceremonies said here, joking for a moment, "Okay, let's bless this couple Newcomers, I hope to see their marriage as soon as possible."

Luo Xue stood there numb as if someone had slapped her across the face.The surroundings were disturbing and noisy, and it was supposed to be a time when people felt restless and couldn't hear the sound, but at this moment, she felt that the surrounding sounds were far away from her, so far away that she could ignore them, but the voice of the master of ceremonies was very clear. It rang in her ears, making her unable to ignore it even if she wanted to ignore it.

Is this... destiny?

Is this... destiny?

The happy life she had thought of since she was a child seems to be gone now.

The pair of Bi people who seemed to be a perfect match on the stage did not speak, and left after the master of ceremonies introduced.

The master of ceremonies then said a few more words, and soon everyone saw Mr. Byrne.

Mott's appearance did not meet Luo Xue's expectations. Mott was obviously a rigid old man, with a very serious expression on his face, so serious that it made people feel that he was unreasonable.

Mott's words were very short and very common, but his image was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

He is serious and shrewd, meticulous, and treats things very seriously and strictly.

"What do you think of him?" Shen Fangzhou stuck out his chin and pointed in Mott's direction.

Luo Xue was in a daze at this moment, as if she couldn't hear what Shen Fangzhou was saying.

Shen Fangzhou sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

How does Luo Xue feel at this moment?
Recalling the scene just now, she only felt that Zhao Qing's actions were a bit deceitful.Cover your face with a mask, so people won't know it's you.

Zhao Qing really thought that she didn't know anything, really thought that... many things could be kept from her for a lifetime?

She raised the corners of her lips, as if everything... was so ironic.

"Mort—" she drawled, "is a more annoying person than Charlie." Her voice was very thin.

After hearing this, Shen Fangzhou nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's Charlie's father, no matter how you say it, he must be smarter than Charlie.

She laughed, "Isn't it true that the whole family doesn't enter the house?"

Shen Fangzhou chatted casually with her and didn't mention what happened to Zhao Qing just now, but Luo Xue understood that Shen Fangzhou deliberately brought her here today to watch this birthday banquet, which can even be said to be an engagement banquet.

Even if she didn't take the initiative to contact Shen Fangzhou, Shen Fangzhou still wanted to find her.

Even if Shen Fangzhou did this on purpose, but it was Zhao Qing who stepped up to the stage, and it was Zhao Qing who made this choice...it had nothing to do with others.Even if there are conspiracies and tricks, they can't beat the iron facts, can they?

Zhao Qing——

At this moment, she only felt that the heartache that had been suppressed forcibly just now turned up little by little, causing her pain to the marrow.

What is it like to be betrayed by someone you have trusted since childhood and regarded as the pillar of your life?
It's probably what Luo Xue feels like now.

Really hit the nail on the head.

Seeing the people from the Byrne family walking down and chatting with the guests, Luo Xue whispered to Shen Fangzhou beside him: "Sorry, I have to go first, I think I have seen what you want me to see today .”

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Fangzhou grabbed her arm and said, "Wait, don't rush away. You may be discovered by your brother Zhao Qing if you leave in such a hurry. You should follow me." Let's go." He said, holding her arm, he didn't know where he took her to turn, but after turning around, he unexpectedly left the banquet venue.

After she came out, she felt the cold wind blowing over her. It was icy cold to the bones. It was obvious that winter had passed, but at this time she felt that it was even colder than winter.

It was a kind of coldness from the heart, as if there was no cure for it.

She didn't want to ask what kind of agreement Shen Fangzhou reached with the Byrne family, but she knew the scene, and she should have seen it.

She walked down the steps in a daze, Shen Fangzhou grabbed her arm, dragged her into the car, and shook her shoulders fiercely, "Luo Xue, wake up."

Luo Xue's eyes were focused, looking at Shen Fangzhou who seemed to be in a hurry in front of him, she felt a little funny, "I have already seen what you let me see, why don't you let me go?"

Shen Fangzhou panicked, "Call me uncle, can I really leave you alone? Do you really think I just made some deal with the Byrne family to harm you?"

"Isn't it?" She murmured back, "I'm just a meaningless person to you, a very pure and stupid junior, not to mention the things they asked you to do are not so complicated, It’s not even hurtful at all, just let me see a fact clearly, I believe you should be willing to do it.”

Shen Fangzhou took a deep breath and replied: "That's right, the Byrne family asked me to take you there, but what really made me choose to do that was not the so-called benefits they gave me, but my I hope you can know, I hope you can realize the problem between you and Zhao Qing, and I hope you don't follow your mother's old path."

She came back to her senses at this time, and looked at Shen Fangzhou with strange eyes, "Take my mother's old path? Why do you say that?"

Shen Fangzhou replied: "Your mother asked me to take care of you before, I owe your mother a favor, I will naturally do my best to take care of you, otherwise you think...why would I let you go so easily? Why are you hinting at those things?"

She looked deeply at Shen Fangzhou, and did not answer his words.

Shen Fangzhou continued: "I'm doing it for your own good, to let you see clearly the problems between you, it's better than regretting in the future."

After he finished speaking, he ignored her and drove her back home.

After returning home, she changed her evening dress and removed some heavy makeup, feeling really tired.

Is there a problem between her and Zhao Qing?

It turns out... so many people feel that there is a big problem between them.

She was lying on the bed, and a moment later she heard someone knocking on the door, "Luo Xue, are you back?"

Luo Xue felt that she really didn't have the strength to deal with Liang Wenqian now, so she lay on the bed and didn't answer.

But Liang Wenqian outside the door was a little anxious, and knocked on the door several times in a row, "Is Luo Xue you? Are you back? Can you just answer when you come back?"

She took a deep breath, stood up reluctantly and opened the door. She felt that if she didn't open the door again, Liang Wenqian would probably hit the door.

"What's the matter?" She leaned against the door frame and asked impatiently.

Liang Wenqian was taken aback when he saw this, "What's wrong with you? You look tired?"

"It's fine if you don't bother me." After she finished speaking, she wanted to close the door, but Liang Wenqian stopped her movement with one hand.

She frowned and said unbearably: "Liang Wenqian, now I will call Uncle Liang immediately and ask him to take you back."

"Don't." Liang Wenqian said a word, then picked her up quickly, put her on the bed, and said with concern: "You look really tired, and your complexion is not very good, don't you?" what's going on?
Lying on the side of the bed, she looked at Liang Wenqian who was full of concern. Many strange thoughts came to her mind, and her thoughts were not controlled by reason.

"Do you really like me?" she asked in a whisper.

Liang Wenqian was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head in embarrassment, "Yes."

But she sneered, like...it's really a very fragile thing.

He raised his head at this moment, saw her sneer, and asked with a frown, "Luo Xue, what happened today? Did Zhao Qing do something to you? Did he betray you or something?"

Seeing that Luo Xue didn't answer, he held her hand anxiously, shaking his shoulder with one hand, "Hey - what's wrong with you?"

She opened her mouth, and just when she was about to speak, she saw a figure appearing behind Liang Wenqian.

The figure stood against the light, with a tall and straight figure, but at this moment he looked at Liang Wenqian with anger on his face, grabbed his collar from behind without hesitation, lifted him up, and gave Liang Wenqian a hard hand. punch.

Luo Xue watched all this with her mouth open, feeling absurd and absurd.

Zhao Qingzheng stood in front of Liang Wenqian extremely angrily, "What are you talking about? It's so late, what are you still doing in Xiaoxue's room? Are you still touching her?"

Liang Wenqian wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, snorted, and said sarcastically, "I actually wanted to fight with you a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation." He said without hesitation He waved his fist at Zhao Qing.

The two came and went, Liang Wenqian was born in a military and political family, and had trained in the military academy for a long time, and his attack power was very high, but Zhao Qing did not fall behind in the slightest.Moreover, Zhao Qing had learned special fighting skills and used them in actual fighting. Liang Wenqian was not his opponent, and he was soon beaten to the ground by him.

Seeing this, Luo Xue felt that something was wrong with her outlook on the world and life.

It was clearly Zhao Qing who betrayed her today, even though she was very clear about Zhao Qing's feelings for her and everything Zhao Qing had for her, but a betrayal is a betrayal, no amount of emotion can cover up a betrayal.

The hurt in the name of love hurts the most.

But now Zhao Qing hit Liang Wenqian angrily again, as if Liang Wenqian had done something heinous to her.

Then think about it from another angle, did Zhao Qing take advantage of this matter to vent his anger?
Venting... the anger and anxiety of being forced into an engagement today.

"Enough, stop hitting." She couldn't help saying loudly, "Qing, let go, he didn't do anything to me, he just cared about me."

Zhao Qing was panting roughly, his mood was not right today, especially after being forced to do that kind of thing, he strongly needed an outlet to vent, and this outlet was Liang Wenqian.
