70 Tensions
◎Things that are not presentable◎
The man was wearing a black suit, was slightly plump, and had an ordinary appearance. Only his light-colored eyes added a bit of brightness to him, and he had a warm smile on his lips.
Almost as soon as the two of them arrived, he came to greet them. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Liang."
After hearing Qin Yue's address, Song Shixi realized why she felt familiar. It turned out that the other party was a member of the Liang family. No wonder those eyes looked like they were cast from the same mold as Liang Minchi.
"My father is on the second floor. I'll take you there and let's chat about what we didn't finish discussing at noon."
Hearing Qin Yue speaking Mandarin, the other party immediately switched to Cantonese and continued with a smile in his eyes. His attitude was a little too friendly, even a little flattering. Song Shixi raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly. It turned out that Qin Yue was going to dinner with him today.
Although she didn't know much about the Liang family, she was able to piece together the identity of the person in front of her through scattered information. He was Liang Fucai, the eldest son of the Liang family.
Although Liang Fucai is the eldest son, he was born to a concubine and his status is not as high as Liang Minchi, who was born to the wife. So even though he has the title of "eldest", he is still suppressed by Liang Minchi in Jingxin.
Everyone has ambitions. As sons of the Liang family, who would be willing to be inferior to others forever?
Qin's involvement was no small undertaking, let alone a joint venture with Jingxin. The investment was enormous, and both parties attached great importance to it. This meant that if Liang Fucai could bypass Liang Minchi and secure the agency rights, not to mention the potential profits, the most important thing would be to gain Mr. Liang's special regard and recognition.
You must know that as long as Jingxin’s owner does not change, there will be opportunities for change.
Perhaps Liang Fucai had not dared to think about it before, but the relationship between Qin Yue and Liang Minchi has become very delicate at this time. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the things on the cruise ship cannot be concealed. In addition, Qin Yue deliberately disrupted the chess game. If he does not fight at this time, it will be too late to fight after Liang Minchi has completely established his foothold.
So, you have to fight even if you don’t want to.
And he is not the only one who wants to fight.
Song Shixi couldn't help but think of the phone call he heard in Qin Yue's study.
Just as I thought of this, a calm and gentle female voice interrupted, "I was wondering why I didn't see Big Brother on the second floor. Turns out he's here."
Following the voice, I saw two figures approaching from afar. The one who was speaking was a woman wearing a light purple cheongsam and had short hair that reached her ears. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes seemed a little cold.
Liang Fucai's raised lip line flattened, and he glanced at the two of them, saying in a calm tone, "Mr. Qin is an honored guest, and my father has instructed us to treat him well."
Liang Wanyi pretended not to notice Liang Fucai's warning gaze and looked at Qin Yue with a smile. When she saw Song Shixi holding his arm, she was slightly startled. Then she smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. When did you get such a beautiful woman by your side? Why don't you introduce her to me?"
Her tone was warm and cheerful, and it was obvious that she had a good relationship with Qin Yue.
Hearing this, Song Shixi raised her eyelids and lightly met the scrutinizing gaze cast at her. Intuitively, she felt something was not quite right in her heart. Thinking of something, she calmly pinched the flesh on Qin Yue's arm. The latter felt pain, but did not show it on his face. He secretly groaned in his heart that he was really wronged.
"This is my girlfriend, Song Shixi." Qin Yue adjusted his posture slightly, put his big hand around Song Shixi's waist, and shortened the distance between them.
After hearing this answer and seeing his actions, the people present had different expressions.
Liang Fucai's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Song Shixi quietly, his eyelashes drooping to hide his contemplation.
Just now, he was completely focused on Qin Yue and didn't notice how outstanding the woman next to him was. When he looked at her carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Of course, whether a woman is beautiful or not is not important to him; what is important is whether she is useful or not.
Thinking of this, Liang Fucai's eyes fell on the two bodies pressed against each other, and his mind moved slightly.
In recent years, there has been no news of Qin Yue having any female companions. He is so well-known for his chastity that even he dare not send "favors" to him for fear of backfire.
Before this, his people had not found any trace of evidence that Qin Yue had a girlfriend.
But this also indirectly reflects how well Qin Yue protects her, and protection also means valuing her.
Qin Yue is a man of steel, a man of his word in the business world, and extremely focused on profit. He is difficult to conquer, but perhaps he can start with her. After all, how many men can resist the influence of pillow talk?
Seeing that Qin Yue will be returning to Shenzhen soon, it is better to settle some things as soon as possible.
On the other side, Liang Wanyi's smile faltered, and after a long while, she spoke meaningfully, "My friend told me yesterday that he saw you spending a fortune on a beautiful girl at the mall. I didn't believe it, but it turns out to be true. Miss Song is so lucky."
Her voice was as gentle as the wind, but her words were sharp.
Song Shixi is not a pushover, so why would he just stand there stupidly and let people get angry? Upon hearing this, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he corrected his tone seriously: "He is the lucky one."
As soon as the words fell, not only Liang Wanyi, but everyone else paused.
This Miss Song is so arrogant that she isn't even afraid of her tongue being blown away by the wind.
No man can stand to hear such words, let alone Qin Yue who has always been high and mighty?
But what they didn't expect was that Qin Yue himself laughed lightly, hugged her even tighter, looked at her with his dark eyes, and agreed firmly: "That's right, it's the blessing I have cultivated for eight lifetimes."
The love and joy in it are almost overflowing.
He is not angry, but actually very happy?
Liang Wanyi almost couldn't maintain her dignity. She took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "You two have a really good relationship."
Song Shixi was also a little surprised by Qin Yue's attitude. Her ears felt a little hot, but her heart was sweet.
Humph, since he has self-awareness, she won't bother with him about this bad love affair.
"Yes." Qin Yue agreed directly and openly, which almost made her spit blood in anger. What made her even more embarrassed was his next words, "But Miss Liang and Mr. Huang are not necessarily the same."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Huang Zhongtian, who had been half-invisible beside Liang Wanyi from beginning to end.
"Mr. Qin, you're joking." A trace of panic and unnaturalness flashed in Liang Wanyi's eyes, and she quickly leaned her head towards Huang Zhongtian. Fortunately, although the latter paused for two seconds, he still put his hand on her shoulder.
Feeling that strength, Liang Wanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sweet smile appeared on her lips, "We're getting married next month, President Qin, please be kind enough to come."
Qin Yue just smiled and didn't respond.
Liang Fucai interrupted their conversation at the right time and suggested going to the second floor again. However, with Liang Wanyi and Huang Zhongtian following him, his wish to chat with Qin Yue was doomed to fail.
Along the way, Liang Wanyi kept chatting with Song Shixi, showing no sign of embarrassment after being rejected. She was very tactful and brought up topics that the girl would like. If it were someone else, they would definitely hold hands with her and become good sisters.
But Song Shixi didn't like her from the first time he met her, not to mention what happened just now, so his attitude was lukewarm, even perfunctory.
Liang Wanyi was turned away by her and was angry, but she remembered the important matter and did not show any displeasure.
As soon as they walked up the stairs, they met a man. He was wearing a white tuxedo and leaning lazily on the railing. His short hair was all tied back, revealing his three-dimensional and deep facial features, red lips and white teeth. He was even more handsome than the male star singing downstairs.
However, the scars on her face that have not yet healed have somewhat reduced her beauty.
Others with injuries on their faces would just cover them up, but he, on the other hand, showed them off openly, as if he wanted everyone in the world to know that he had been beaten, and badly.
"Wow, it's so lively."
He straightened up slowly, his hand still on it, tapping it occasionally, and speaking with a hint of nonchalance, which sounded a bit ironic to the ears.
"Minchi, aren't you accompanying your father?" Liang Fucai glanced at his position inconspicuously. From this angle, he could just see the entire gate, but he didn't know how long he had been there.
Just as this question came to mind, Liang Minchi chuckled twice and said meaningfully, "I was bored, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to see such a big show."
After he finished speaking, he sighed again, "Ah, I don't know what sins we Liangs committed in our previous lives, but in this life, we always like to rush to get the cold shoulder..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Fucai's face darkened and he interrupted, "Minchi."
Although it was the same name, this time there was a hint of warning and displeasure.
Song Shixi was watching from the side and thought that Liang Minchi was really a lunatic. Not only did he curse others, but he also cursed himself.
She just complained in her heart, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to hear her thoughts. He suddenly looked at her with a burning gaze and obvious interest. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.
Sure enough, the next second, Liang Minchi ignored Liang Fucai and strode towards her. Although he was stopped by Qin Yue halfway, it did not prevent him from talking nonsense.
"Miss Song, I got injured because of you. It's okay if you don't come to see me these few days, but what's the point of you enjoying a leisurely life in your villa halfway up the mountain every day? I'll be sad."
This confusing statement made people who didn't know the truth think that she was having an affair with him.
And for her? Song Shixi almost sneered out loud. Under the circumstances at that time, he deserved to be beaten!
Qin Yue didn't beat Liang Minchi to death for looking at her with ill intentions in front of her boyfriend, which showed that he was kind-hearted!
However, Song Shixi didn't expect that Liang Minchi had been keeping an eye on them all this time, and the mention of the villa halfway up the mountain was a hint.
No, it's already been made clear.
Combined with what he had heard from Yin Yang and Liang Fucai before, Song Shixi felt that Liang Minchi had all their whereabouts under his control these days.
He was not only disgusting her and Qin Yue with his words, but also reminding Liang Fucai and the others to stop.
She recalled her impression of him when they first met.
This man is dangerous.
At the moment she was surprised, Liang Minchi and Qin Yue were already on the verge of a fight, and it seemed that a fight would start in the next second. People nearby immediately gathered around when they heard the noise.
Liang Fucai immediately stepped forward and stood between the two parties. Although he was happy to see the two of them falling out, today was the Liang family's birthday party, and all the people who came were famous figures. There were also a bunch of reporters guarding outside. If there was any disturbance, it would spread throughout the entire Hong Kong city tonight without having to wait until tomorrow.
When a scandal breaks out, no one suffers.
"Minchi, what are you talking about?"
Although everyone knew that Liang Minchi was beaten by Qin Yue on the cruise ship, they didn't know the specific reason. Now when they heard him say this, they couldn't help but feel surprised. It was actually for a woman?
Liang Fucai glanced at Song Shixi without revealing any expression, then took a deep breath. He first reprimanded Liang Minchi for his inappropriate remarks, then turned around and said to Qin Yue with an apologetic smile, "This kid just drank quite a bit of wine, I'm afraid he recognized the wrong person. As you know, he has quite a few beautiful women around him, so Mr. Qin, don't bother with him."
Qin Yue looked at Liang Fucai expressionlessly as he acted like a brother, his eyes as dark as ink, like the dark clouds before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
He didn't say anything when he heard a sneer from the side: "If getting drunk can make a big thing small, then what's the point of laws and regulations? You make fun of the reputation of female lesbians and slander them wantonly. I think the children raised by your Liang family are no better than this. They can't even show the most basic respect."
After he finished speaking, he paused for two seconds, then suddenly raised his voice: "It's just something that can't be put on the table."
Her voice was deep and powerful, striking into everyone's heart, leaving everyone with a different feeling.
The women present almost clapped.
However, the Liang family members present only felt a burning pain on their faces, and their expressions gradually darkened.
Song Shixi almost jumped up and pointed at their noses and scolded the Liang family for having no manners. Who could remain calm?
But it just so happened that the person standing next to her was Qin Yue, and as soon as she opened her mouth, he held her hand, making it clear that he wanted to support her. Their dissatisfaction with her meant that they were dissatisfied with Qin Yue.
Furthermore, it was indeed Liang Minchi who made the rude remarks first. The Liang family was not in the right and didn’t even know how to refute him.
Moreover, the cooperation between Qin and Jingxin is imminent. At this critical moment, there is no benefit in breaking up.
Thinking of this, Liang Fucai and Liang Wanyi couldn't help but glare at Liang Minchi. This madman didn't even know to choose a suitable time to go crazy. Is now the time for him to act crazy?
He himself had a falling out with Qin Yue, so he couldn't stand them getting on good terms with Qin Yue?
It's so hateful.
Who would have thought that even though Liang Minchi was being scolded, there was no anger on his face. He even smiled coquettishly, as if he found it quite amusing. "This is my fault. Miss Song is very magnanimous. I hope you won't hold it against me."
His expression changed very quickly, and the tone of his apology was extremely serious and firm, as if he had just made a little joke.
Song Shixi ignored him and tugged at Qin Yue's sleeve, "Let's go congratulate the birthday boy. Don't waste our time on people like him."
Hearing this, Qin Yue knew that Song Shixi was trying to avoid making the situation too awkward, and was giving everyone except Liang Minchi a way out. After pondering for a moment, he led her forward, and everyone took the initiative to make way for her.
As soon as they left, Liang Fucai immediately distanced himself from Liang Minchi and sighed, "Minchi, think twice before you speak or act in the future. Don't bring shame to the Liang family."
Liang Minchi smiled and said, "Dad isn't dead yet, does he really need you to teach him?"
Liang Fucai choked, and the air in his chest was stuck and he couldn't breathe up or down. His hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists.
