Chapter 264 He is back
She looked up and saw Liang Chihui concentrating on business. It seemed like a coincidence, not something he did on purpose.
He Sang was really hungry. The cheongsam was too small for her and it made her breasts swell. She didn't dare drink a sip of water for fear that it would make them tighter. She almost fainted.
The ham had a strong flavor and the fish soup was salty. He Sang stared at the Eight Treasures Soup on chair number 7. The plate turned around in time and the bowl of soup just stopped.
The plate turned suddenly. Ji Xilan was picking up some food when the juice dripped and splashed all over the place, staining her cuffs. She glanced at Liang Chihui unhappily, "What a bad habit! You don't eat or drink, but you're just spinning the plate for fun."
Until the banquet was over, whatever He Sang wanted to eat, the plate would always turn to her. Ji Xilan had the opposite taste, so whatever she wanted to eat, the plate would always turn to her, which made Ji Xilan so annoyed that she threw her chopsticks.
The president of the organization that organized the inspection asked attentively, "Mrs. Liang, is the food not to your liking? You don't seem to have eaten much."
He Sang buried his head in the plate, controlling his breathing.
"I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's appropriate." Ji Xilan crossed her arms, "It's better to fix the plate."
Liang Chihui laughed on the side.
The organizers promised repeatedly, "No problem, we will definitely hold next year's charity dinner as planned."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the guests left one after another. Liang Chihui put on his suit and stood up, saying in a low voice, "Have you eaten enough?"
He Sang also stood up, "I'm full."
She accompanied Ji Xilan downstairs. The stairs were covered with a red carpet, and her high heels scratched the felt and tripped her.
In the chaos, a warm and strong hand supported her, but before she could confirm who it was, it withdrew.
Walking out of Wanghai Building, several wives gathered on the steps outside and pointed to a place not far away, "That's Mr. Liang's car from Zhonghai Group."
"Did the organizer invite him too? His name isn't on the chair."
"He hasn't been to work at Zhonghai for a week. He might be on a business trip and just returned to Hebei Province."
He Sang's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. The spreading white made her unable to see or hear anything for a moment, and she stood there motionless.
The black Hongqi L5 slowly honked its horn, and He Sang's heart was as tight as a string, completely unable to be touched. If touched, it would be torn into pieces.
Liang Jishen got out of the car and ran over here, "Mother."
His voice was very hoarse as he called Ji Xilan, his eyes fixed on He Sang's face.
The man was like a blazing fire, burning He Sang's eyelids so much that she turned her head away in panic.
"Is it resolved?" Ji Xilan said irritably. "The situation in Hebei Province has changed. Are you aware of this?"
Liang Jishen's eyes hid hooks, subtle and sharp, silently hooking He Sang without leaving any time for distraction.
"Third brother!" Ji Xilan raised his voice.
He came to his senses and took out a wrinkled cigarette box from his trouser pocket. There was only one cigarette left. He lowered his head to light it up, took a deep drag, and said absentmindedly, "I understand."
"Yan Zhang is in the hospital, and the second son took the opportunity to take over and monopolize power. Liang Jing's backers are the Weng family, and he is the eldest son of the Liang family. No one can harm him. What about your status? Zhonghai Group belongs to the province, not you. You are so prominent now, but after Zhonghai is reorganized, you will pack up and leave, and not a penny will belong to you!"
Although Ji Xilan cursed, she knew there was nothing she could do. No matter how much she tried to persuade him, Liang Yanzhang still refused to change his mind. After all, they had been married for more than 30 years. Since he was ruthless, it proved that he had made up his mind and there was no way to change it.
"It just so happens that you're out in the province and can't come back at this critical moment! If you were here, he might have considered your temper and given you some of it." She was annoyed and pushed He Sang. "What do you think?"
He Sang pursed his lips. "After rectifying Zhonghai, Zhongsheng, and Zhongyuan Group, the province is cultivating him and valuing his abilities. He has made achievements in various enterprises, and his retirement benefits in the future..."
"What's the point of retiring?" Ji Xilan snapped, shaking off her hand. "How old is he? You're really thinking ahead. No wonder you two are such a good match. You're both such useless bastards!"
She said nothing.
Ji Xilan calmed down, reminiscing about her "retirement" and couldn't help laughing, "You must be a spy sent by Yao Wenji, specifically to oppose me."
He Sang remained silent.
"Mrs. Liang, congratulations." Mrs. Zhou also walked out of Wanghai Tower at this time. "You are the top guest of the banquet. The second young master is the most philanthropist in the whole place. The Liang family is in the spotlight."
Liang Chihui took a picture of the pearl necklace as the finale and mentioned Yao Wenjie who was not present in public, which was tantamount to slapping Ji Xilan in the face and exposing her hypocritical "motherly love and filial piety" drama, so as to prevent the outside world from misunderstanding that he respected his stepmother and respected Ji Xilan for his own face, and was taken advantage of by her for nothing.
Mrs. Zhou mocked her, and she understood. "The Zhou family used to be so arrogant, but when they returned to Hebei Province from the northwest last year, did they offend someone? They are no longer qualified to sit in the center of the family. Now they are crumbling. It was so sudden! Although the second child is not my biological child, I am his nominal stepmother after all. He pats me, and I pat him. It is all thanks to the Liang family."
Ji Xilan said arrogantly, "I'm tired, let's go back to the ancestral home."
The driver helped her get in the car. The moment He Sang bent down, Liang Jishen said, "Take mine."
He Sang clenched his fists and sweat broke out all over.
He didn't rush, standing in the dimming light. The brighter it was, the more morbidly handsome he looked. The light flickered, sometimes passing over his eyebrows, sometimes passing over his neatly trimmed hair.
Liang Jishen arrived looking exhausted.
The defense line she had worked so hard to build was almost broken.
The driver circled between them and said, "Third Master, Miss He, I'll take Madam home first."
Ji Xilan was riding in Liang Yanzhang's official car, which had an extended body and stood out in the parking lot full of luxury cars.
However, as the guests called it, once Liang Jishen's domestically produced car appeared, Liang Yanzhang's car could no longer be ranked in the C position.
As the car drove out of Wanghai Tower's square, He Sang stared at the dark shadows on the ground. Four or five of them approached Liang Jishen, who was standing opposite him. "Mr. Liang, you're late?"
He laughed, "I wasn't invited."
"You weren't invited?" the man was surprised. "I guess the organizers were afraid you wouldn't be so kind."
Liang Jishen maintained a faint smile.
"The restaurant on the first floor is open. Would you like to have a drink?"
He raised his chin, "Come get her."
The man looked at He Sang and said, "Miss He is the most beautiful woman today. She is worthy of being the Third Young Master's woman."
Liang Jishen held a cigarette in one hand and opened the car door with the other, looking over the roof of the car at the busy street.
He clearly wasn't looking at her, but every inch of him, his chest rising and falling under the neon lights, every breath he took, was piercing and shattering her without any concealment.
"Come here."
