34 Hong Kong Island Trip
◎The mistress of the Liang family only has the surname Liang.◎
In the end, Liang Youwei still couldn't guess why Liang Jingyi was laughing, because her attention was quickly diverted.
Normally, she'd travel every season, whether domestically or internationally, but now that she'd started working, being on the clock had become the norm. The Liang siblings noticed her frustration, and while they kept quiet, they were secretly planning an outing.
The climate in Hong Kong is pleasant during the transition from autumn to winter. In addition to the family tradition of traveling and the invitation from the Li family in Hong Kong Island, Liang Ting'an decided to spend this year's trip in Hong Kong Island.
This year, Liang Jiangsheng and Ms. He were unusual in that they didn't go. Ms. He suffers from seasickness, but the Li family's banquet was mostly held on the cruise ship. As a precaution, they both stayed in the imperial capital.
"Brother, do we have business dealings with the Li family? Why did they send an invitation?"
On the private plane, Liang Youwei soon got tired of the floating atmospheric clouds and the gorgeous sunset glow, and began to "harass" her brothers and sisters. However, Liang Jingyi was attending a human resources management course, so she had one less target to harass.
"There is no contact at the moment, and the future is uncertain." Liang Ting'an took some time off from the news broadcast and glanced at Liang Zhihui who was still flipping through a magazine, his eyes dark.
Liang Youwei was always very sensitive even when she shouldn't be: "...Is it related to my second sister?"
The woman named chuckled. "It could be related, or it could be unrelated. Overall, Youwei, don't worry."
The implication is that it will not harm her, nor will it be detrimental to the Liang family.
The second sister was deliberately playing tricks on Liang Youwei, so she knew it was useless to ask, so she simply contacted her secretary secretly and asked her to send her the relevant information table of the Li family's children.
She had a feeling that this was probably related to marriage.
Due to varying local customs, the public's understanding of wealthy families in different regions varies. For example, the five families of the imperial capital, deliberately keeping a low profile, are relatively unknown. The public's impression of them is simply that they are wealthy, with little clarity regarding their population and marital status.
But in Hong Kong Island, almost all events are transparent and open. It is very easy to know the specific information. Just search on the Internet and you will find countless bloggers to answer your questions.
The Li family is even more high-profile, with the words "local top-level wealthy family" written on their faces. Spending money like water is the biggest synonym for their family.
Their family has many people. Liang Youwei held her chin and looked through the information for a long time, but she felt that there were no "suspects".
Because they weren't pretty enough to match my second sister. And Hong Kong Island was so far from the capital. If I married into their family, would I be marrying into their family? Is that a custom in Hong Kong Island? I don't think so.
After flipping through the Li family albums, Liang Youwei looked at other family photos and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. In the new generation, whether in the wealthy or the entertainment industry, Hong Kong Island seems to lack exceptionally handsome men and beautiful women. Unlike in the past, when both men and women were wonderful and charming...
"Youwei, what are you thinking about?" Seeing her eyes wandering, Liang Zhihui tapped the table lightly, the gardenia diamond ring on his middle finger gleaming. "Big brother just called you."
The curly-haired girl came back to her senses, still a little dazed, that was the sequelae of her infatuation: "What's wrong?"
"Is there anything you want to eat? The plane is about to land." Liang Ting'an had already finished watching the news broadcast and smiled gently, "Zhihui Jingyi said they were watching you."
He kept his words and actions within the normal boundaries of a sibling relationship, and there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary he had done in the past.
Liang Youwei also tacitly forgot the past, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, she thought seriously and replied, "But there are so many things I want to eat. I want the ice cream French toast at MOC, and the chicken feet and shrimp dumplings at Heyi Building are also good. Oh, and there's also curry fish balls. I only want those sold at street vendors..."
Pretended exactly the same as before.
After hearing everything, Liang Zhihui helplessly held his forehead and said, "Forget it, let's go back to Repulse Bay and send people to buy these things separately."
Let’s stick to the old rules. There are always ways to keep warm or cool.
"Yeah." Liang Youwei lowered her head silently as her eyes passed over her elder brother.
There is no doubt that Hong Kong is a place closely associated with romance. Lingering love stories, intrigues among gangs, and the extravagant and decadent lives of wealthy families can all be found here.
This strange sense of romance often reaches its peak, especially when you stand on a high place and overlook the city.
Cyberpunk, dazzling and colorful.
Logically speaking, such a beautiful scenery should be matched with equally formal attire, but Hong Kong Island is not Leung Yu-wei's territory, and she has a lot of concerns now, so she did not dress up as elaborately as before, and had no intention of attracting attention.
For her, it was just a trip. “Giving a grand appearance at any dinner party” was a thing of the past.
So, she wore only a modest evening gown, drank half a glass of sparkling champagne, and then, draped in a shawl, walked out of Vanity Fair, intently admiring the night view. After all, such a grand and glorious night view was rare in the imperial capital, which tended to be more calm and dignified, with a sense of majesty without anger.
One is intoxicating, the other is frightening.
However, she underestimated the wind in Victoria Harbour and overestimated her own physical condition.
Goose bumps appeared on her skin and a cool breeze blew in her face. Liang Youwei couldn't help but sneeze.
"Why don't you dance in there? You obviously like these."
A familiar voice echoed in her ears, and then, the warmth of her suit jacket enveloped her shoulders. Liang Ting'an had arrived without her noticing, standing in the windward direction, shielding Liang Youwei from the raging night wind with his broad shoulders.
"Otherwise, we would not have accepted this invitation."
Logically, she should have stepped back to create some distance, but Liang Youwei didn't. She lowered her head slightly, her swan-like neck curved into an elegant arc, and said softly, "It's not very good, big brother."
In the distance, neon lights flickered, flashing the confident and dazzling light unique to a big city.
Liang Ting'an followed her original gaze and said calmly:
"I thought that falling in love with Qin Zhen would bring you back to the way things were before, but it seems he doesn't have that ability."
He doesn't have the ability, yet he has the nerve to come and demonstrate to me. This person is truly ridiculous and unpresentable.
"...How can we go back to the past, brother?" Liang Youwei didn't know what he was thinking, she just smiled and didn't say that she had unilaterally broken up with Qin Zhen because of her temper.
The bubbles of champagne rose and fell in her stomach, making her feel a little uncomfortable and even more confused. "I'm not really a fool, and Qin Zhen is not someone who can be easily manipulated."
Liang Youwei didn't think she could completely control Qin Zhen now that she had nothing. In the past, with her family background and bloodline as her confidence, she even thought she could control the whole world if she wanted to.
But now everything has changed.
Being close to power can make people mistakenly believe they have rights. When blood ties are severed, Liang Youwei completely wakes up from the dream described in House of Cards.
She never actually had power.
She was also afraid that Qin Zhen's love would disappear at any time.
"Don't talk about me anymore, brother." Liang Youwei turned her head slightly, deliberately avoiding the gaze that made her uneasy. "Why don't you talk to them more?"
The scene of Liang Ting'an and the local richest daughter arm in arm flashed before her eyes. She took a deep breath silently and pretended to be relaxed: "Perhaps the future mistress of the Liang family will be the daughter of one of them."
It sounds like you're looking forward to having a sister-in-law.
Liang Ting'an's face was expressionless, and he didn't deny it immediately: "You hope so?"
Liang Youwei felt like she was weighed down by a thousand pounds of cotton, making it difficult for her to breathe. She gripped the cold metal railing tightly and raised her chin: "This is your business, big brother. I have no right to interfere."
She was the one who spoke of the hostess, but she was the one who was unhappy after agreeing with her.
After a moment of silence.
"Weiwei, you don't have to say angry words."
The salty, damp evening breeze blew in, but it couldn't disturb Liang Ting'an's mind in the slightest. At this point, it seemed difficult to force her to speak her mind, so it would be better to be straightforward.
"The mistress of the Liang family only has the surname Liang."
He spoke slowly, as if completely unaware of how unorthodox his words were.
"I will not marry anyone other than you, and I will not allow the Liang family to have another person to share the risk."
His voice was not loud, but it was deafening.
For Liang Ting'an, who rarely reveals his emotions, this sentence is no less than a confession.
Liang Youwei was shocked, a huge shock and absurdity hitting her brain. She couldn't help but turn back to look at him, and met her brother's calm eyes. Her heartbeat exceeded the normal threshold. At that moment, Liang Youwei even thought Liang Ting'an was crazy.
How dare you say that? How could you say that?!
Liang Youwei immediately scanned the surroundings and only suppressed her sadness after confirming that there were no suspicious people.
"...Brother, you are drunk."
The breeze stirred up the waves, and her heart was in turmoil. Finally, her thin, crimson lips moved slightly, and she racked her brains to find a reasonable excuse for him.
"Well, just assume I'm drunk." Liang Ting'an, who barely smelled of alcohol, chuckled, a faint curve forming on his lips. He opened his arms to Liang Youwei and took a step forward, "As a drunk, may I ask for your forgiveness?"
The "cold war" between them had lasted too long, and Liang Ting'an was almost driven crazy. He didn't need the hypnosis of alcohol to boost his courage, he just did whatever he wanted.
Maybe Qin Zhen was right. He really shouldn't be a coward, and he shouldn't be spying on his sister's life in the corner.
You can definitely try standing in front of the stage.
Obviously she couldn't let go completely.
The lights of Victoria Harbour are bright and shining, reflecting on my brother's handsome profile, gentle and brilliant.
A faint roar came from the distance, floating back and forth. Liang Youwei found it difficult to suppress the impulse in her heart.
Is it possible? Is it possible?
In the lingering night wind, the pure white high heels took a step forward, following the heart's inclination to step from the light into the darkness, and slowly entered his arms.
Maybe she was drunk. She couldn't hold her liquor well, so a glass of champagne was enough.
In the past, close contact was just a daily routine for the two of them. But now they know that this hug contains more than just pure brotherly love.
Their heartbeats blended together, driving away all fear and anxiety.
Liang Ting'an used a little force and rubbed Liang Youwei completely into his body. His warm palms protected her with an absolute protective posture, holding the back of her head tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm drunk today. Drunk people do stupid things, and whatever they do, it's my fault."
He was always so tolerant of her. From childhood to adulthood, he always supported her.
Tears inevitably welled up in Liang Youwei's eyes, and the tip of her nose ached. The grievance and pain that she had suppressed in her heart burst out completely: "Brother, I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry, I hid all my feelings from you. I'm sorry, I left you struggling in the moral world alone... Brother, I'm sorry, but I really can't help it.
I'm about to lose everything, so I have to be cautious and look for ways to escape, even if it means betraying everyone. Brother, you've always spoiled me since I was a child...so even if you continue to spoil me, it's okay, right?
Tears soaked her crisp shirt. Liang Youwei bit her lips tightly, her selfish nature overcoming years of family affection.
Liang Ting'an had never been able to deal with her tears. He wanted to gently wipe away the long-lost tears that Liang Youwei had shed for him openly, but the person in his arms struggled to get up.
His heart skipped a beat, and then he was held in mid-air.
Liang Youwei, are you backing off again? Are you leaving again? Ever since we became aware of each other's identities, you've always backed off from me, time and time again.
Apart from the boiling and helpless noise, there is also a hatred that is neither light nor heavy.
But Liang Youwei held his face and stood on tiptoe.
The wet touch fell on the lips.
【Author’s words】
P.S. Liang Youwei hasn't seen "House of Cards." This is just a metaphor. The saying "proximity to power can lead people to mistake it for power" comes from the American TV series. Alas, if Weiwei had seen anything she should, she wouldn't be giving up her career and her relationships now. Relationships are the most illusory things, only truly effective in novels.
From Liang Youwei's perspective, she is not sure how long the love of the six people will last under the premise of "infidelity", so she has to seize the opportunity of each of them and "don't put all eggs in one basket"; but from the creator's perspective, the love of the six people will last forever - this is an unchanging setting.
In addition, the author wants to collect the pre-collection of "Star Butterfly Wants to Burn" in advance, and put the copy here. If you are interested, I hope you can click on the collection [pat head][pat head][pat head] (this is a pure romance)

1.
Zhan Qingyan, a popular star and the center of attention, is extremely bright and flamboyant, just like the most dazzling goddess of light, the flash butterfly.
She is a favorite of the entertainment media and there are always countless topics about her.
For example, she clearly has no major awards, but she was elected as the chairman of the Shanghai Film Association; for example, her annual salary after tax is only tens of millions, but she can afford to wear a pink diamond ring worth hundreds of millions; for example, she used to be just a poor student in the mountains, but now she is the number one female star in the domestic entertainment industry.
There are countless people who hate her, and there are countless people who love her.
But more people are waiting for her to fall from the clouds.

The youngest son of one of the top wealthy families in Shanghai, a talented director who reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, with a face and figure comparable to a celebrity male model, but a cold and arrogant temperament.
He introduced her to the industry, he created works for her, he helped her get tickets to countless prestigious film festivals, and then he mysteriously disappeared in the second year of her debut.

He was thirty-three years old, he was autocratic, he was fierce in bed, he was cold and heartless... Apart from being surprisingly generous with money, he was completely useless.
But who would have thought that just as she was thinking about leaving, her ex-boyfriend, who was supposed to be recuperating from an illness abroad, returned home.
"Yanyan, I miss you so much."
His golden hair almost blended with his breath. The fear of the past completely enveloped Zhan Qingyan, making even speaking extremely difficult. The atmosphere was sticky and humid.
"You missed me too, didn't you?"
Zhan Qingyan is going crazy.
She went to question Shan Xun why he released Chen Zhao, but received a chuckle from him.
"Zhan Qingyan, then why do you want to leave me?"
4.
Si Yanli is a very strange person. After only meeting him a few times, Zhan Qingyan already calls him Holy Father - and for free.
