Chapter 76 Chapter 76 "Long time no see"...
But keeping avoiding it like this wasn't a solution; everyone in the room was waiting for her to make a decision.
*
Walking through the quiet corridor, Shen Xiyu stood at the door of the private room again. No matter what the outcome of tonight was, she was ready to bear it. At worst, she could leave here and find another way.
Open the door.
She keenly noticed two more figures at the table.
Shen Xiyu couldn't help but frown. Today we are playing Jenga. One more thing after another. Who is this immortal who came here again?
This person is...
The man sitting in the main seat had a face that Shen Xiyu was very familiar with.
But he gave people a strange feeling. Apart from his face, he was not the same as before.
Shen Xiyu could hear the sound of her own heartbeat. She completely forgot what the occasion was. Her hands were placed on the handle in a daze, and she stared straight into the man's eyes.
This action was very strange in the eyes of the people in the house. They watched Shen Xiyu standing at the door as if he was under a spell, not saying a word or coming in.
Xu Wei stood up and called out to her, "Xi Yu, what are you doing? Come in quickly."
The girl realized how out of control she was. In contrast, Liang Qi looked calm and composed, as if he had forgotten about her long ago.
Yes, so many years had passed, even Shen Xiyu himself couldn't say how much of his former self still existed. What happened back then seemed so immature and impulsive now. Perhaps Liang Qi had already considered that past a dark period.
So stupid, Shen Xiyu couldn't help but complain about herself in her heart, her behavior just now was so stupid.
But why is Liang Qi here?
Lin Yang quickly answered her questions.
"Chen Zuo, this is my friend, the investor this time." Lin Yang introduced the man to her. "This is Mr. Liang from Yutong Technology."
How could it be such a coincidence? Shen Xiyu looked at Liang Qi and found that he was also staring at him.
It's no wonder she's overthinking it. How could someone who's been gone for so many years suddenly think of investing in them? Doesn't he have so much money he can't spend it all?
And judging from Lin Yang's attitude in the first half, Liang Qi had no intention of showing up. What does it mean that he comes here again now?
Ten minutes ago...
"No, Liang Qi, are you sick?" Xu Yu looked at the huge private room. "You've invested all this money, why are you opening a private room next door instead of eating at the table?"
The man didn't look at him, but focused on sobering himself up. He had this hobby, so the wine he received was usually uncorked, and he would sober himself up.
"Mind your own business."
"I have to go see what this woman looks like in real life." He pretended to open the door and prepared to leave. "You've made me stupid, brother. You should have forgotten that I've been dead for so many years."
"You can donate your mouth if you don't need it anymore." Liang Qi didn't refute him, but said in a deep voice, "If you dare to go out and do something stupid, forget about the sports car I promised you last week."
Xu Yu was a soft-hearted person and he was grateful for the favor he received. Upon hearing this, he immediately said flatteringly, "No..." Halfway through his words, he was about to close the door and come back when he saw the girl walking out of the next box.
"Hey, they seem to be done. I saw a girl walking out."
"Then let's go too." Liang Qi stood up.
"No?" Xu Yu looked at him like he was an idiot. "Didn't you just open the wine?"
"I don't want to drink anymore, do you have any objection?"
“…”
Although they were preparing to leave, something went wrong along the way. Lin Yang happened to come out and saw the two people leaving, so he tried to persuade them to go for a few drinks.
He also had his own plans in mind. His position in this transaction was actually very delicate.
Lin Yang has some friendship with Xu Yu. A few days ago, Xu Yu suddenly contacted him and told him about this investment, saying that Mr. Liang was interested in investing in this project.
Lin Yang was puzzled. Liang Qi wasn't in the film and television industry, so why would he want to get involved in this, especially with such a messed-up project? But he didn't refuse. On the one hand, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to hook up with Liang Qi, it would be a great opportunity. After all, since Liang Qi returned to China, his value has skyrocketed, and he's even showing signs of surpassing his father's. The old elites in Los Angeles were all saying that this kid was trying to stir up trouble in Los Angeles and revitalize the once-declining Liang family headquarters. This was a golden opportunity for him.
Furthermore, he could also take this opportunity to get some benefits he wanted from Shen Xiyu.
In short, there are only benefits and no harm.
So not only had he readily agreed, but now that Liang Qi and Xu Yu had arrived, he'd urged them to go for a drink. He also wanted to understand why Liang Qi was investing in a cross-industry project that had nothing to do with him. Perhaps there was some hidden agenda.
Xu Yu saw that Liang Qi's face was not very good, and knew that he had no intention of going. This would be fine under normal circumstances, but he felt that if he didn't push Liang Qi today, he might have to do this secretly for a long time, and it made him feel uncomfortable just watching it.
"Let's go." He also invited, "You invested in the project yourself, why don't you go meet the person in charge?"
As if possessed by some unknown force, Liang Qi drove himself into the private room. He knew very well that neither Lin Yang nor Xu Yu had forced him today.
He is possessed by a devil.
*
"Hello, Mr. Liang." Shen Xiyu had no idea what was going on. Seeing that Liang Qi didn't say a word, he pretended to be stupid.
Liang Qi looked past the person in the middle and towards Shen Xiyu who was sitting on the other side.
What came to her mind was the first words she said when she met him that year.
Through time, the Shen Xiyu in my memory said with red eyes, "You have lost weight."
The youthful face overlapped with the woman in front of him, and the traces of time gradually merged on the two faces.
Shen Xiyu has grown into a good adult in a place where he can't see.
They are no longer the helpless eighteen years old. The spring of that year has passed for a long, long time, so long that when they meet again, no one knows their past, so long that the people sitting next to them are no longer the same people, so long that they still need others to introduce each other.
"Long time no see."
After Liang Qi finished speaking, everyone at the table had different expressions. Of course, most of them were surprised. After all, these two people didn't seem to be compatible.
Liang Qi couldn't explain his feelings. He felt a subtle venom. He couldn't face the other person like a stranger. He just wanted everyone to know that they had an unexplainable past. He wanted to be like he was back then, a person who had to be mentioned next to Shen Xiyu.
Xu Yu was trying to hold back his laughter, as he finally got the hang of this good show.
Shen Xiyu's nose suddenly felt sore, and she couldn't tell why. Maybe this scene reminded her of bad memories.
After all, they had known each other for so many years, and Wade immediately noticed her mood changes.
What's going on? Who is this person? Does he know Chen Xiyu? What's their relationship?
"It turns out that Mr. Liang and Shen Zuo are old acquaintances." Lin Yang, a shrewd man, immediately saw the relationship between the two.
This kind of reaction is either from an old lover or an old rival.
"Just a high school classmate." After quickly adjusting his mood, Shen Xiyu smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liang. This investment is thanks to you."
At this point, Shen Xiyu also had a bottom line in her heart. Although she didn't know why Liang Qi showed up at this time, no matter what the purpose of his investment was, now was not the time for her to act on impulse.
After getting the investment, I will discuss personal matters with him.
"I'll toast you."
Xu Yu finally understood. No wonder Liang Qi hadn't taken any action for so long after returning to China. It must be unrequited love.
Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that this arrogant and popular girl with many suitors would one day be humiliated.
Liang Qi's dark eyes met Shen Xiyu's sight. There were too many things in those eyes. He had changed so much.
The Liang Qi she knew was quiet, but not so stern with those around him. The Liang Qi she knew preferred to hunker down in the corner at dinners like this, not sit at the head table, a figure everyone both respected and feared.
Chen Xiyu suddenly realized that after so many years, the boy in his memory was still so clear, as if the long time in between was like a dream, and when he woke up, they were still nestled in that winter, never moving.
After waking up from the dream, Liang Qi asked her what she wanted to eat tonight.
However, such a scene forced Shen Xiyu to wake up. She was 26 years old now. Her youth was far away, and the people in her youth were also far away.
Shen Xiyu was the first to be unable to bear his straightforward and bold gaze, so he turned away and stopped looking at him.
Liang Qi said nothing, raised his glass and clinked it with hers from a distance.
Second half.
Shen Xiyu was obviously wilting, but it might be because she was a little drunk.
Lin Yang, Xu Yu and Lao Xu were having a great conversation, discussing everything from gossip in the film and television industry to investment directions. They also took the opportunity to talk to Wade about the market positioning of this film.
Lin Yang stopped talking to Shen Xiyu about copyright, as if what happened just now had never happened.
He is not stupid. Liang Qi's attitude is already clear. At first, he relied on Liang Qi's power to ask for Shen Xiyu's copyright. Now it is obvious that the two of them want to rekindle their old love. If he brings up the copyright issue again, he will be ungrateful. Maybe he will even become a booster of their love.
But looking at the two of them now...
One had a sullen face and didn't say anything, while the other just kept drinking.
How great is the hatred and love?
I didn't even hear a rumor about this. If I had known this, I would never have let that little screenwriter use the back door to suppress Shen Xiyu.
What a sin...
Shen Xiyu drank herself to the point of being dizzy. She hadn't been this drunk in a long time, especially in front of so many people.
While pouring the wine, she analyzed why she had lost her composure today. She knew with her toes that although the people at the table were chatting and laughing, they had actually been looking at her and Liang Qi.
It wasn't her fault, she was just dreaming, she had just had a dream within a dream.
In the dream, Liang Qi walked out of her dream of many years, sat down and said to her.
"Long time no see."
real.
It’s been many years indeed.
