Just as Cheng Suisui was pondering, Duan Ye had already helped Teacher Zhuo down.
Luo An followed behind with a worried expression, not daring to look in their direction at all.
Meanwhile, General Manager Xie also received photos from his subordinates. Although Luo Qingyuan's wedding had caused quite a stir and caused a great uproar back then, he was abroad at the time and only sent a congratulatory gift. He glanced at the news at the time but didn't really investigate it in depth.
Now that I see the wedding photos, I understand why Luo Qingyuan lost her composure.
So, that Mr. Duan is actually President Luo's... ex-husband?
A subordinate whispered in General Manager Xie's ear, "General Manager Xie, what do you think about this matter...?"
Boss Xie glanced in Duan Ye's direction: "There's no need to interfere in this matter. Just keep Boss Luo informed about Mr. Duan's whereabouts. Also, tell the young master to leave as soon as possible."
"But what if the young master doesn't leave..."
"Then drag it away!"
"yes!"
The subordinates left in a hurry to run errands, so General Manager Xie quickly arranged for Nanxing and others, whom he had invited, to go on stage and liven up the atmosphere.
Luo Qingyuan sat there, unable to recover for a long time.
Duan Ye returned to his seat, with Luo An and Bai Tang sitting on either side of him.
Luo An: "Brother Duan, well... Tangtang saw your wife first. I wanted to remind you, but you and the teacher walked too fast, and I didn't have time..."
Duan Ye remained silent, his expression cold and unreadable.
His appearance made not only Luo An feel a little flustered, but even Bai Tang was unsettled.
"Master, I really didn't mean to not remind you. Besides, you've been divorced for so many years, no one would have expected to meet again in a situation like this..."
Duan Ye still ignored Bai Tang. Luo An and Bai Tang exchanged a glance behind Duan Ye, unsure of what to say.
Just as Luo An was about to speak, Duan Ye interrupted, "Let's be quiet for a while."
After stepping down from the stage, Professor Zhuo sat in the row in front of Duan Ye and the others, so he didn't know what had happened. Although Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye had been together for so long, Professor Zhuo had always been oblivious to what was going on outside and diligently focused on his research. He had only heard of it but never seen it. When Duan Ye got married, Professor Zhuo was still in space.
Mr. Xie turned off all the lights on the seats.
The donation process was originally supposed to be conducted with all the lights on.
But having been in business for so many years, how could he not see that President Luo still had feelings for Mr. Duan? If President Luo and Mr. Duan had nothing going on, he wouldn't suffer any loss from his actions today. But what if...?
That would be a tremendous opportunity for the Xie family.
He also knew that he had to end the donation event as soon as possible, so he had the celebrities perform a stage show in an orderly manner before quickly moving on to the donation segment for various companies.
The amount Luo Qingyuan contributed will let Boss Xie know whether his judgment tonight was correct.
Photographers were snapping photos of the celebrities on stage. Cheng Suisui asked tentatively in a low voice, "President Luo, are we still going to donate five million as originally planned?"
Five million was actually the result of Luo Qingyuan's careful consideration. As the number one family in the capital, the Luo family could not be too stingy. This was a free donation. Apart from gaining fame, they would not get anything else. Ten million would be too much, and five million would be just right.
but...
Luo Qingyuan's eyes stung terribly, but she still tried her best to suppress her trembling voice and said, "Donate fifty million on the surface, and then give the same amount to President Xie in private. He knows what to do."
Providing all the funds directly would embarrass major companies.
Cheng Suisui understood.
"President Luo, do you... need to send someone to stop Mr. Duan later?"
The donation drive is currently underway, and Jinhe, as the main recipient of these funds, cannot leave. However, once the drive ends, things could change.
stop?
What should we say when we stop them?
The two families agreed to meet at noon tomorrow.
But will it really disappear? Luo Qingyuan couldn't give an answer, so she tilted her head back and drank another cup of wine.
At this moment, the dim lighting in the audience provided her with the best camouflage.
Apart from Cheng Suisui, no one could see the tears streaming down her face.
Although she was sitting far away and could only barely see the back of her head, Duan Ye still accurately caught her movements, and couldn't help but frown.
At that moment, Duan Ye's phone vibrated.
Duan Ye glanced at it; it was his mother's call.
Duan Ye answered anyway: "Mom, I'm busy right now. If there's anything, I'll talk to you when I get home tonight, okay?"
Ding Yifen: "Son, Mom knows you're busy. You don't need to say anything, just listen to what Mom has to say."
Duan Ye subconsciously turned to look at Luo An, but Luo An quickly looked away, pretending not to see the murderous look in Duan Ye's eyes.
Bai Tang couldn't help but smile secretly. Wasn't her idea better? She told Luo An to inform him promptly.
Ding Yifen's voice came through the microphone: "Actually, so much time has passed, and you've been divorced for so long. Mom really shouldn't have interfered, after all, this is a matter between the two of you."
“But son, after all these years, I can see that you still can’t let go of Qingyuan, right? Otherwise, back then, when that experimental project was so demanding and no one was allowed to leave, didn’t you still beg your grandfather to give you a three-day grace period?”
"And all these years, apart from China and the experimental base, you couldn't go anywhere else. If you could go, wouldn't you have secretly gone to see those three women a long time ago?"
“Son, you need to understand that a good marriage cannot be based on arguing. If you keep being stubborn, the only outcome will be separation. Since you have already met in advance, don’t drag it out any longer.”
Duan Ye's eyes were red and swollen.
"Mom, I know."
In the end, Duan Ye was the first to hang up the phone.
Look up at the stage.
It's okay. It's not the first time he's been abandoned. It seems like it's always been like this.
Has anyone ever given him the right to choose?
Is it really that difficult for people in this world to make a firm choice about who to be with?
Everyone wants him to let it go, for the sake of his child and for the sake of the past, but what about his pain? Are they just turning a blind eye to it?
He sincerely loved each person in every relationship, but the ending was always so ugly.
He just wants a little simple happiness, is that so hard?
At this moment, Ding Yifen sighed and put down her phone. Duan Sheng also held her hand and patted it gently, saying, "It's okay. Trust our son. He knows what he's doing."
Even Ding Yifen, who is already over fifty, couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Tell me, what kind of mess is this? If I had been at Moon Bay that night, and accompanied my son to see Ye Nuan, wouldn't all of this have been avoided?"
Duan Sheng put his arm around her shoulder: "What does this have to do with you? If Xiao Ye hadn't seen Ye Nuan that day, wouldn't they have been unable to coordinate with the police to switch those bombs and save those people? But wouldn't even more people have died...?"
"But now that we've seen it... there's nothing we can do. Nobody expected things to turn out this way..."
