Captain, stay safe

Chapter 181 Taste 2
"There are quite a lot of people," Lian Zhen said with a smile.

"A bit."

Lian Zhen handed over the invitation coupon, and the staff let them in. There was a self-service table at the entrance of the flower hall, with juice, red wine, fruit and some snacks on it.

Shen Muye is used to drinking good red wine, and not used to drinking these lower-grade red wines, so he just brought a glass of fruit juice to Lian Zhen, and he brought a glass of white water himself.

Manager Hu, the organizer of the gallery, came over to say hello to Lian Zhen, "Principal Qiao, this is..."

"My husband," Lian Zhen introduced.

Manager Hu was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Congratulations, I don't know when Principal Qiao got married, and he didn't notify us."

"They didn't hold a wedding at all, and they didn't get permission from the man's family, so they got married secretly," a mocking voice suddenly came from behind.

Lian Zhen thought the voice sounded familiar, but when she turned her head, a middle-aged woman in her 50s walked up to her with a face full of contempt. Her whole body was full of jewels, and the familiar face under her make-up had a lot more wrinkles than before. .

"Mrs. Shen Er, I didn't expect you to come here when you are free. I knew I would pick you up at the door in person," Manager Hu hurriedly greeted you with a smile on his face.

"I also happened to go out for a stroll after staying at home these few days and being bored," Shi Hongyao said lightly, her haughty eyes glanced over Lian Zhen, and finally fell on Shen Muye next to him, with a trace of strong sarcasm in her eyes , smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet acquaintances when I came here. Mu Ye, you really have time. You have been back to the West City for a few days. Let the big company ignore it and come here to accompany the woman."

"Could it be that this is Mr. Shen Muye Shen?" Manager Hu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I didn't expect my little art exhibition to attract so many distinguished guests to welcome us today. Please do a little work, I'll go and get that A bottle of Bordeaux that has been preserved for a long time is opened."

"No need, I'm just visiting with my wife today, and I have to drive later, so don't waste it," Shen Muye waved his hand coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his interruption.

Shi Hongyao was also a little displeased, she was chatting with Zai Shen Muye, but this Manager Hu always made a fuss and interjected, "Manager Hu, go greet other guests."

Both important figures in Xicheng spoke up, and Manager Hu was also very good at observing words and expressions. Although he really wanted to make more friends with these two, it was obvious that staying now would only make people disgusted, so he left in a hurry.

Only then did Shen Muye politely say: "I also went back to Xicheng for a vacation after I finished my company work, and I will go back in a few days. Didn't I tell Second Aunt yesterday?"

"I didn't hear clearly." Shi Hongyao smiled, her beautiful eyes turned to Lian Zhen, "Miss Qiao, I didn't expect you and Mu Ye to be together after six years, I really admire your ability, after so many years No matter how many beauties conquered our fortress in Mu Ye, they didn't take it down, you won the city in one fell swoop as soon as you go into battle."

Lian Zhen couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words, she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to offend the Shen family anymore.

"Aren't you eager to see the paintings along the way, you go first, I'll chat with my second aunt," Shen Muye said softly, seeing her embarrassment.

"Well," Lian Zhen was just relieved, nodded to Shi Hongyao, then turned around and pretended to concentrate on looking at the painting.

Shi Hongyao frowned, and just about to speak to her back, Shen Muye stepped forward slightly, blocking her view, the tall shadow looked down, and a gentle smile flickered in the unfathomable pupils, but in that smile But there is another kind of majesty and warning that makes people timid, "Second Aunt, I remember Grandpa once said that there is no reason for my family to slap my family in the face. Ask yourself, today I slapped me a few times in the face ?”

Shi Hongyao's complexion changed, and she sneered, "Why, I just reprimanded Qiao Lianzhen, and you can't wait to teach my second aunt a lesson."

"Second Aunt is an elder, so I don't have the reason to dare to teach you a lesson." The smile on the corner of Shen Muye's lips was always faint, "But the relationship between our Shen family has finally eased up. I sincerely hope that it will not be the same as before. Not like home, relatives are not like relatives, second aunt is not for herself, she has to think about Xinni, sister Zuyu and second uncle..."

Shi Hongyao pursed her lips in disapproval. Although she has a bitter personality, she is not stupid. Today's Shen Muye is no different from before. Whether it is his connections or financial resources all over the world, he can no longer be underestimated, especially because he can get people's attention so easily. Lu Xiaofan's family gave it away. Who in the Lu family would dare to offend ordinary people, but not only did he offend him, but he also bankrupted him and sent him to jail. She won't lose anything to her family if she offends him. She is worried. It's because my descendants will have no one to help when they encounter difficulties in the future. The longer this person lives, the more he understands that no matter who he is, there will always be someone to help him one day.

She understood, immediately stabilized her mind, and said with a smile: "Listen, the second aunt seems to want to be your enemy. If you say that I mean it, why did I ask you to come to my house for dinner yesterday?"

"I think so too," Shen Muye smiled, "Second Aunt, let's stop chatting here and go to see the paintings."

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't understand much about paintings. You are well-informed and knowledgeable, so tell my second aunt," Shi Hongyao followed him into the gallery.

On this side, after Lian Zhen left the two of them, she deliberately walked to a place where there were fewer people. After looking at the paintings on the wall for a while, she turned a corner, and suddenly there was a man in a suit standing on the wall in front of him. The man's resolute jaw slightly Lifting up, he looked thoughtfully at the painting in front of him.

Lian Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried to another corridor. She saw Li Dongsen's car at the door. She didn't want to meet him, especially now that she and Shen Muye had reconciled. After all, he had been silent all these years. She has paid a lot for her family. It can be said that it is because of her that he has not married a wife until now, but she can only apologize to him. If he knows that being with Shen Muye is also a kind of harm to him, she doesn't want to Go hurt a man who really likes her like this.

In order to avoid meeting him again, Lian Zhen hurried up to the third floor, and not long after she received a call from Shen Muye.

"I'm on the third floor, have you finished chatting with Second Aunt?" Lian Zhen asked in a low voice.

"I'm still looking at paintings on the first floor with my second aunt," Shen Muye said, "Wait for me later."

Lian Zhen really didn't understand how he could enjoy the art exhibition with the bitter and mean Shi Hongyao again, but it seemed that Shi Hongyao was by his side, so she didn't want to ask more questions. After thinking for a while, she said: "Then you can watch it with Second Aunt, I Just walk around by yourself, and I will wait for you outside later."

"Well... that's fine," Shen Muye thought she didn't want to go with Shi Hongyao, so he didn't make things difficult for her.

Lian Zhen was afraid of meeting Li Dongsen, so she casually walked around the gallery for a while, and sent a text message to Shen Muye when she got to the fourth floor, then took the elevator down, and when the elevator reached the third floor, Li Dongsen was on the phone Stepping in from the outside, his eyes met, he was stunned, Lian Zhen was very embarrassed.

"You introduce our products to him first, and I'll be right back," Li Dongsen cut off the phone, then smiled at Lian Zhen: "Are you coming to the art exhibition too?"

"Yeah," Lian Zhen responded softly, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave before finishing watching?"

"A partner who has been in touch for a long time suddenly came to Xicheng temporarily." Li Dongsen stared at her closely, with a little regret and regret in his eyes, "Are you leaving too?"

"I... I'll leave later, I haven't watched it on the first floor," Lian Zhen made an excuse.

"It's a pity that I have something urgent, otherwise I can watch it with you for a while," Li Dongsen said with a smile, "The really good paintings are still on the first floor, and the paintings on the third floor are more ordinary."

Lian Zhen smiled, but didn't answer. When the elevator arrived, a group of people squeezed out. Li Dongsen used his burly body to shield himself, and then made a "please" gesture.

Lian Zhen bowed her head and walked out, "Thank you, don't you have something to do, let's go."

"You still seem to be as unwilling to see me as before," Li Dongsen said bitterly.

At this time, the sharp-eyed manager Hu suddenly walked over quickly, "Principal Qiao, I'm done watching. Why are you alone, Mr. Shen?"

Lian Zhen's expression froze slightly, and Li Dongsen was stunned for a moment, showing complex disbelief between his brows and eyes.

"Why aren't you and Mr. Shen together?" Manager Hu then asked.

"Well...he's still watching upstairs, I'll go downstairs first," Lian Zhen said bravely, and then saw the anger and shock that seemed to swallow everything in Li Dongsen's dark eyes.

"Lian Zhen, come out with me," Li Dongsen gritted his teeth, and dragged her out of the gallery in large strides. The sunlight outside made his eyes hard to open. He closed his eyes forcefully, trying to close his eyes. The raw pain in his eyes was wiped away, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, his pupils filled with pain, "Is the Mr. Shen he was talking about Shen Muye?"

"Well," Lian Zhen avoided it at first, but he still found out. She looked at the man in front of her with complicated emotions.

"Why him?" Li Dongsen suddenly smiled, with a hint of ferocity in his smile, "Why Shen Muye again, tell me what is so attractive about this person."

"I'm sorry," Lian Zhen lowered her head sadly.

"Six years ago, you told me that you fell in love with Shen Muye, because he gave you stability and shelter, and his family respected and understood you, but later, he abandoned you for the inheritance of the Shen family. Everything I have done is a thousand times, ten thousand times more than what I have done, but you are willing to wait for him for six years, but you can't even wait for me for a few months," Li Dongsen rubbed his brows, and he tried to let himself Calm down, for so many years, he can basically do without great grief, but today he still finds it ridiculous, "Lian Zhen, let me ask you, did you ever love me at the beginning?"

"Dongsen, being with you is a wonderful first love. I did love you," Lian Zhen said guiltily, "But when I meet Mu Ye, I have a very strong feeling, just like a human being. Living in this world, there will be a person who is like... just like the marriage line that Yuelao pulled hard, and he is at the other end of the line."
