Floating Song in Troubled Times: The Reborn Business Girl of the Republic of China

Chapter 5 Soul Wearing the Republic of China [5]

"Mantang, I heard that there is also a male doctor who came back from the same boat as you this time. Is it called Ouyang Long? Have you seen that man?" The man sitting on the outermost side suddenly raised his head and looked towards several people. Asked in a low voice, still not forgetting to look around vigilantly.

"Ouyang Long?" The young ladies immediately opened their eyes wide and covered their mouths, for fear of pronouncing the name.

Fortunately, the people in the hall were doing their own things at this time, and the music was loud enough, otherwise if others listened to it, it would be a disaster.

Gao Mantang leaned on the sofa slowly, rubbed his eyebrows, focused his eyes on the chandelier on the ceiling, and said softly: "It seems that there is one, and it is a Ph.D. in economics. What's wrong, it's just a Men, why are you so secretive?"

The obese man at the side shook his head, and then said meaningfully: "Cousin Man, although you have drank foreign ink for several years in France and read the books of Schopenhauer, Kant, and Master Russell, but in this magic city Liberty's set of survival rules, these things are not enough at all, you are still young. That man is not an ordinary man, he is the deadly enemy of that person."

The rest of the people nodded one after another, and when they mentioned that gentleman, they all showed admiration and horror. If it is said that the most frightening person in the enchanted city is Mr. Ou, but that man is indeed an exception.

"That man, oh, it turned out to be like this, no wonder that man was on the boat that day..."

"What's wrong with that man"

"Jianhong, Jianhong, I'm here." Just as several people were waiting to hear the following, they were suddenly interrupted by a plaintive voice.

Everyone turned their eyes to the door, only to see a man in a gray suit walking in slowly, with a delicate and handsome face, with a hint of melancholy, like the thick sunset glow that cannot be melted away.Beside him was a petite woman, looking at the man beside her with admiration, with a triumphant smile on her lips.

Hearing the familiar voice, the man frowned involuntarily, and then walked in another direction with the woman beside him, but it was already too late.

Xia Weiyu didn't expect that her usually soft and weak sister would have so much strength to break free from herself and run over. At this moment, she was standing opposite Cheng Jianhong, looking at him with joy, as if I don't know the embarrassing situation outside at this time.

Although the second miss of the Xia family was a well-known idiot in the circle, everyone naturally wouldn't mind, adding a little more fun at this time, especially watching the majestic Xia family make a fool of themselves on the Gao family's territory.

"Qingqian, come here, come to my sister's side." Seeing this, Xia Weiyu shouted eagerly, only wanting to pull her sister back.

"Sister, wait a minute, I have a few words with Brother Jianhong."

"Jianhong, where have you been these few days? I went to school to look for you, but you were not there. My uncle said that we will get married next month. When will you come to my house to see me? I sewed clothes for you. You made a lot of food, and my sister and brother said it was delicious, so I want to send it to you."

Xia Qingqian's piercing and winking eyes were very clear without any impurities.Her voice became smaller and her head lowered lower and lower, but everyone could see that she was shy.He immediately covered his mouth, lest he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cheng Jianhong lost his mind for a moment, but felt the mocking eyes of the people around him, and then looked at Xia Weiliang with disgust.

It was all because of this woman that made me the laughing stock of the school. Now that I want to enter this circle, this woman is even more lingering, she is simply my nemesis.

"No, I have clothes, and I won't marry you. I have someone I like. The marriage contract between us was arranged by our parents, and it doesn't make any sense now. I have the right to seek my own happiness the most, you It's the same, don't waste your time on me, Second Miss Xia."

After speaking, he pulled Xiao Mumu towards the familiar crowd.His main task here today was to make friends with this Mr. Gao, so he naturally didn't have time to chat with Xia Qingqian.

Xia Qingqian didn't seem to understand what he said, and followed behind him, eagerly saying, "But I like you too, I really like you."

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

"This Second Miss Xia is really a wonderful person. Brother Jianhong, I think you'd better marry me, lest the lady's heart be lost in vain."

"Let's marry, let's marry." The people around burst into laughter, teasing the three of them one after another.

And Cheng Jianhong and Xiao Mumu's faces were also red and white, and Xia Qingqian behind him kept his head down, as if someone had discovered his secret, curled up shyly in his own world, completely shielding everything around him .

At this moment, Xiao Mumu watched herself being admired by others, even though she liked the man in front of her, she couldn't help complaining about him, and wanted to leave instantly, she couldn't afford to lose face to the Xiao family and the Gao family.

"Mumu, what are you doing?" Cheng Jianhong felt Xiao Mumu's strangeness, and immediately said nervously.

"Teacher, your fiancée is here. She is my future teacher's wife. Shouldn't I give you some time to be alone?"

Xiao Mumu raised her head proudly, she just wanted to see what Cheng Jianhong would do.But his gaze was cold looking at Xia Qingqian, who had always been innocent and harmless. Only this stupid woman thought she was just a student of the teacher, and she even went to school, begging herself to take care of the teacher. I'm afraid she really thought she was cheated.

"Mumu, what are you still doing there? Your mother and father will be here soon." Mrs. Gao looked at the people in the distance, and her original smile turned cold. is dissatisfied.

"Understood, auntie."

"Wait a minute." Cheng Jianhong glanced at the people around him, grabbed Xiao Mumu who was about to leave, and turned to look at Xia Qingqian.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze, and it was unknown who turned off the dance music. At this time, the sound of the needle falling could be heard clearly.

"Father, why are you stopping me?" Xia Weiyu looked eagerly at Xia Mengguo who suddenly grabbed her. In the current situation, that heartbroken man obviously wanted to abandon his sister.Wei Liang is such a simple girl, how can she bear it?

Xia Mengguo's face was ashen. Although he didn't show any expression, those who knew him well knew that the Lord was angry.

Seeing that begging her father was not going to work, Xia Weiyu cast her eyes on her mother again, but although her mother's face was sad, sad, and pity, her hands were tightly holding on to her father's sleeves, and she was still steady. Standing there, just looking into the distance with concern.

"Xia Qingqian, I, Cheng Jianhong, like Xiao Mumu, not you. The wife I, Cheng Jianhong, will marry in this life will only be a new type of girl like Xiao Mumu who is generous, gentle, and knowledgeable. As for the relationship between us The marriage contract is arranged, and I am fully qualified not to fulfill it, because it is not my personal wish. If I hurt you, I am here to apologize to Mumu, and hope that you can find a better person." After finishing speaking, Cheng Regardless of other reactions, Jianhong took Xiao Mumu's hand and bowed deeply in Xia Qingqian's direction, with an apology all over his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.

With such a clear and bright voice, Xia Qingqian tightly squeezed the silk handkerchief in his hand, looked at the two people with sad eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

"Why not me, I can be a small one, I don't need to bother you, I really won't bother you." As if realizing something, Xia Qingqian suddenly stood up straight and said loudly.Like a brave warrior, but in the eyes of others she is just a joke.

She knows that she is not good enough, not as good as her sister, nor as good as other girls, but she really just wants to stay by this man's side.
