love me don't hide

Chapter 24 She will be happy, but not this time (1)
The next morning.

When Li Zhenghong walked into the presidential suite, Li Hongye was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the street view of the entire city.

Although this is not the tallest building in the city, it is better than the geographical location. From here, you can see the bustling streets extending in all directions. They spread into the distance like spider webs, and branch lines criss-cross, connecting the places she is familiar with. The college, the "old place", and the Zhong family where she lived for a long time.

"This is the wedding dress that I had flown back from Milan overnight. Try it." Although Li Zhenghong had a straight face, his tone was not as tough as his expression.She could tell that he was no longer angry at her for disobeying his orders, but was actually preparing for her engagement with all his heart.

Hearing this, Li Hongye turned around and took over the snow-white wedding dress. Numerous tiny gemstones were polished to a smooth surface, inlaid on her chest like fish scales.

She remembered this style. When she was only seven years old, she saw a beautiful wedding dress in a magazine, and pointed to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, does every bride have to wear a wedding dress?"

It was rest time, so Li Zhenghong did not have a cold and heartless face, but reached out and stroked her head, and replied patiently: "Brides can not only wear wedding dresses, but also wear wedding dresses in beautiful cathedrals." hold a ceremony."

"Isn't that the same as the prince and princess in a fairy tale? Hongye also wants to wear a wedding dress when she grows up, and she also wants to go to the cathedral to hold a ceremony. Hongye likes this wedding dress!" She smiled innocently.

Grandpa also had a faint smile on his face, but after the break, he immediately returned to his indifferent attitude, and took away the magazine with the wedding dress printed on it, urging her to take lessons with the teacher seriously.

The wedding dress in her hand at this moment is exactly the same as the one she saw in a magazine. Holding the wedding dress, Li Hongye's inner emotions changed several times, as if she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle.

"Grandpa, do you still remember?" Her amber eyes sparkled with emotion.

For so many years, she has always thought that her grandfather doesn't care about her affairs, all he wants is a unique and excellent puppet, and it doesn't matter whether this person is her Li Hongye or not.But what happened today shocked her somewhat. She had almost forgotten this wedding dress, but he remembered it in his heart.

Li Zhenghong still had a straight face, but for a moment, a kind look flashed in his eyes.

He reached out his hand, rested on top of her head, and stroked it lightly twice.

The warmth from the palm of her hand spread to Li Hongye's heart along her hair. It was this feeling, the care she longed for but never got.

"It's getting late, put on your wedding dress. It's a long way to go to the church here, and I've already sent that kid there." Li Zhenghong turned his back on purpose, and spoke in a strong tone, completely commanding, not allowing her to have a half point defy.

Looking at his back, Li Hongye's eyes suddenly became sour, and a layer of faint water mist surged into his eye sockets.

All along, she felt that grandpa's back was extremely tall. After many years, when she looked at the same back, she found that he was no longer as tall as before.He was really old, or rather, it was the first time she realized that she had grown up today.

With the help of several waiters, she changed her wedding dress.

She stood in front of the mirror and admired it quietly, with an unconcealable smile on her face.Although it was a fake engagement this time, it was still considered wearing a wedding dress. When she really got married in the future, she would also dress beautifully.

She was always very nervous when she got into the car that her grandfather specially prepared for her.

"I have already sent someone to invite the boy's parents, and you can hold the ceremony with peace of mind later." Li Zhenghong rarely talked to her so calmly, so when he heard him say this, Li Hongye instinctively leaned over , leaning slowly on his shoulder.

Seeing her like this, Li Zhenghong's originally stiff expression suddenly softened, except that she had acted like a baby to him when he was ignorant, but when she grew up, she was always icy and rejected people thousands of miles away, and he only wanted her grades not to show up. If she makes a mistake, she won't care how she is doing.

He has been cultivating her as Li Yuning's substitute, and he has placed all his hopes for his daughter on his granddaughter, so he is very strict and does not allow her to make any mistakes.

In a blink of an eye, she has grown into an adult.

It seems to have returned to 20 years ago. At that time, Li Yuning was also like this. He pursued freedom and didn't like the life of conformity. Regardless of the opposition of his family, he fell in love with Qu Haozhuo, who was from the same family at that time.

It's a pity that he was too stubborn back then and insisted on marrying Qu Haozhuo, thus ruining his daughter's good marriage.Not having the chance to see Li Yuning wearing a wedding dress is the most regrettable thing in his life.

Now his granddaughter also stubbornly wants to be with the person he likes, so he can only compromise.If he could be given another chance to choose, he would definitely not be so overbearing back then, and he would bless his daughter, so that in today's engagement ceremony, they will be three generations under one roof.

"Hongye, be happy..." He closed his eyes, with a guilty smile on his face.

Li Hongye, who was resting on his shoulder, clenched her fists, then slowly released them, and finally sighed.

"I will..." Li Hongye nodded silently, sighing in her heart, she will be happy, but not this time...

After the car stopped, they got out of the car.

The tall and majestic church came into view. There was an arch made of pink balloons in front of the gate. There was a long red carpet in the middle of the lobby. The two rows of auditorium chairs were empty, and the guests had not yet arrived.

"It's almost time, get ready to start." Li Zhenghong said kindly.

Immediately, the engagement march sounded. The groom stood at the end of the red carpet, looking at her with a smile. His handsome face still had the scars from yesterday. The redness and swelling had not completely disappeared, but he was still so elegant and noble.

Li Hongye took a deep breath, and slowly walked onto the red carpet holding her grandfather's hand.

She was supported by Li Zhenghong to the end of the red carpet. A rare smile appeared on his face. He was completely different from him who was as cold as ice in the past. He slowly handed her hand to Shen Jiyang's: "I will hand over my granddaughter to you." Here you are, you must make her happy."

"I will." Shen Jiyang frowned and smiled naturally.

After Li Zhenghong left, the ceremony continued, followed by the pastor's prayer of marriage blessing.

Shen Jiyang turned his head slightly and looked at Li Hongye: "Why haven't they arrived yet? If we continue, we will really get engaged."

"Don't worry, if you really can't make it, it's fine if you just say you don't want to." Li Hongye was actually quite anxious, why hasn't Qu Jingxuan come yet?Could it be that the time was wrong when sending a text message?Or did he find the wrong church?
Just when the two were extremely anxious, there was a sudden commotion outside the church.They turned around and looked back at the same time, only to see that Qu Jingxuan was blocked by a few men in black and could not rush into the arena. Beside him was Jin Yasha with a gloomy expression and an ugly face.

"Hongye." Qu Jingxuan couldn't break free from the prison of the man in black, so he could only shout loudly.

At this moment, Shen Jiyang and Li Hongye, who were standing in the center of the church, looked at each other and frowned in unison. Now is not the time, the protagonist of this ceremony has not come yet.

"Mr. Shen Jiyang, are you willing to be engaged to Ms. Li Hongye, whether she will be sick or healthy, rich or poor, and always be loyal to her until she leaves this world?" the pastor asked Shen Jiyang with a smile in the name of the Bible.

Shen Jiyang's face froze: "I...I..." It's impossible to say yes, right?Li Hongye is his own sister!
At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps reached their ears.

"Ji Yang, Hong Ye, you can't get engaged!" Shen's mother almost yelled in tears. She rushed up the steps of the church, but was stopped by several men in black. The ceremony was still going on, and Shen's mother added in a hurry He said, "You are brothers and sisters!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhenghong was startled, and angrily knocked on the ground with his crutches: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could our Hongye and that kid be brothers and sisters!" He only notified Shen Jiyang of the engagement Parents, so I have already guessed the identity of the couple in front of me.

"Dad! I'm Yu Ning! Ji Yang and Hong Ye are blood brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. They cannot be engaged. Stop them!" Mother Shen didn't care to hide herself, crying and knelt down towards Li Zhenghong.

This sudden change stunned all the people present. Li Zhenghong looked in disbelief at Shen's mother, whose face was not even remotely similar to Li Yuning's, and it took him a while to recover: "What did you say?"

"Father, what Yu Ning said is true. It's a long story. You let us in to stop this engagement first, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Father Shen begged.

At this moment, Li Zhenghong waved his hand in a daze, and all the men in black withdrew, Qu Jingxuan rushed up immediately, and hugged Li Hongye into his arms.

"I was scared to death. I thought you were really going to marry Ji Yang." He said tremblingly.

At the same time, both Shen's parents and Jin Yasha ran over.

Seeing so many people in the audience, the pastor felt confused, and under the signal of Shen Jiyang, he left the podium in embarrassment.

Jin Yasha ran to Shen Jiyang, smiled sadly and said, "Do you really not like me at all?"

Shen Jiyang looked away in embarrassment, and then whispered: "I'm sorry..."

With tears in her eyes, Jin Yasha shook her head, forced a smile and said, "I understand, I won't pester you anymore." After speaking, she ran out of the church without looking back.

The Shen family's parents rushed in front of the two of them and shouted angrily, "You two are simply ridiculous!"

"Why are we ridiculous? You don't want me to associate with Hongye, so what's the problem with us being together in this way?" Shen Jiyang raised his head with a stubborn face, "You just said that we are brothers and sisters, what is this? what happened!"

Li Hongye stood aside and watched Shen Jiyang go crazy there, and couldn't help secretly admiring his acting skills. He knew the truth a long time ago, but he was still able to pretend to be so shocked.

"Yes, what's going on here? Tell me clearly!" Li Zhenghong leaned on a cane and walked in front of the crowd, his eyes swept over each of them, as if waiting for their explanation.

"All of this is my fault, because I didn't want to leave Shen Xun, so I asked Hao Zhuo for help back then, and planned to cheat you." Shen's mother said here, her eyes were full of tears, and the truth more than ten years ago, It also surfaced with her words.

Back then, Li Yuning and Qu Haozhuo were a happy couple, but Li Zhenghong disliked that the Qu family's family background was not prominent enough, and asked Qu Haozhuo to marry him before he would accept this son-in-law.The Qu family has only one son, so of course he would not.In order to be with the person she likes, Li Yuning ran away from home with the help of her friend Shen Xun, hiding in the old district in the west of the city, waiting for Qu Haozhuo to take her to elope.However, Li Zhenghong's power was too great, and he sent people to monitor Qu Haozhuo's every move at all times, which made him unable to do his own thing.In this way, he and Su Mei, another marriage partner arranged by his parents, fell in love with each other for a long time, and finally got married.It was a few months before Li Yuning knew that Qu Haozhuo had married someone else. Betrayed by her beloved, she was overwhelmed with grief and fell ill. During this time, Shen Xun took good care of her and encouraged her to face life with strength. People have feelings.But at that time, Shen Xun's family was mediocre, and he was also the only son in the family, so it was naturally impossible to accept Li Zhenghong's harsh demands.Knowing that Li Zhenghong always pays attention to face, Li Yuning came up with a way to write to his father, telling him that because he couldn't be with the one he loves, he just found a poor boy with no power and power and ran away. It doesn't matter.

At that time, Li Zhenghong immigrated to the United States in a fit of anger.Li Yuning thought that her father had left the country and she was safe, so she appeared and married Shen Xun with the help of Qu Haozhuo. After marriage, she gave birth to Shen Jiyang and Li Hongye one after another.On Li Hongye's second birthday, Li Yuning took her out to buy gifts to celebrate, but she didn't expect to be recognized by someone on the way. It turned out that Li Zhenghong had never given up looking for her daughter's whereabouts for so many years.Thinking of his stubbornness and domineering back then, Li Yuning was afraid that his happy and happy family would be destroyed by his father, so he approached Qu Haozhuo to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to fake a car accident to fake his death.Since the people who knew her identity had seen Li Hongye but not Shen Jiyang, only the young Li Hongye was involved in their disguised car accident.In order to ensure the convincingness of the incident, Li Yuning and Shen Xun personally tested the car. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with the car. In order to protect Li Hongye in his arms, Li Yuning's face was scratched by broken glass.

With the help of Qu Haozhuo, the false news spread to the United States, and Li Zhenghong rushed back to China, crying bitterly in front of the prepared tombstone.Li Yuning, who was being treated in the hospital, couldn't bear to know that his father was in such pain, so he asked Qu Haozhuo to tell him the news that Xiao Hongye survived.Knowing that Li Hongye was alive, Li Zhenghong took her back to the United States regardless of Qu Haozhuo's stop.But Li Yuning underwent plastic surgery, changed his appearance, changed his name and surname, and continued to live with Shen Xun and Shen Jiyang...

"I'm sorry, Mom really didn't abandon you on purpose." Mother Shen said, hugging Li Hongye into her arms, crying bitterly.

After hearing the whole story, Li Hongye felt very complicated.She has always wished that she could snuggle up in her mother's arms and feel her mother's heartbeat and body temperature, but for more than ten years, she has been alone.

"It's too nonsense, it's just too nonsense! Could it be that in your eyes, I am such an unreasonable father?" Li Zhenghong angrily knocked on the floor with his crutches. It is really true that his daughter took such pains to avoid him. It shocked him so much.

"Father, if I hadn't told this lie back then, would you have really agreed to me being with Shen Xun?" Li Yuning let go of Li Hongye's hands, and asked his father tearfully.

"He is not worthy of you at all, how can you trust me to hand you over to him?" Li Zhenghong said angrily.

"I knew it, so after so many years, I didn't dare to let you know that I'm still alive!" Li Yuning smiled wryly, "I was really happy after hearing the news of Hongye's return to China, and I wanted to tell her immediately that I was her mother, but I I dare not, I am afraid that after she finds out, you who are far away in the United States will also receive the news, and I am afraid that the happy life I have managed with great difficulty will be destroyed by your stubbornness!"

"How could I destroy my daughter's happiness? I will always give you the best. I hope to find you a man who is worthy of you, so that you will be happy. Why don't you understand Dad's painstaking efforts? "

"I'm very happy now!" Li Yuning hugged Li Hongye and walked to Shen Xun's side, holding Shen Jiyang with the other hand, "I am very happy with my own husband and children."

Li Zhenghong stared at them blankly for a long time, then sighed helplessly in anger.

"Mom, can I call you that?" Li Hongye asked cautiously with tears in her eyes.

Li Yuning turned towards her, holding her face distressedly: "Of course, you are my daughter!"

She gently hugged Li Hongye into her arms: "Mom hasn't been by your side for so many years, and she didn't dare to recognize you after seeing you. It's my mother's fault. I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

Originally, Li Hongye thought that Shen's mother refused to admit that she didn't love her, but after hearing the story just now, and knowing that Shen's mother had ruined her appearance to protect herself, she suddenly understood that there are no parents who do not love their children.

They didn't abandon her, they loved her!

"As long as you're still alive, that's enough. I don't blame you. Mom..." She buried her head in Shen's mother's arms, and that "Mom" condensed her longing for her mother for more than ten years.

"Good boy."

Seeing that they recognized each other, Qu Jingxuan couldn't help smiling.

"Auntie, why did you write those novels on our campus website? Is it to attract Hongye and I's attention?" Qu Jingxuan suddenly remembered the novels written by Ning Yuli.
