Chapter 188: Dianthus Building
With the He family's interference, Su Yun no longer had much interest in enjoying the show.
Seeing that Su Yun had suddenly lost her previous energy, Chen Boyang, who sat back on her left, pursed his lips, as if he wanted to reach out and hold her hand to comfort her.
However, after quietly moving his hand closer to the hand that Su Yun placed on the table, his hand stopped less than two centimeters away.
There was no longer the kind of playful and friendly atmosphere that they had when they were together before. Instead, after confirming their feelings, they became anxious and fearful and dared not move forward.
The parties had clearly made an attacking stance, but suddenly stopped where they were. This made Zhang Querong, who had been watching the two of them, angry and anxious: on the one hand, he was angry that he had finally suppressed his thoughts and done something to show his humility to his good brother, but this guy was still ignorant and didn't appreciate it; on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel anxious for Chen Boyang, this fool who always failed when he should have mustered up his courage.
It's really true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are... Ugh, I've read too many foreign books outside, and I can't think of the right adjective at this moment.
Zhang Querong, who had unintentionally made fun of himself, sighed, held his chin and turned his gaze back to the stage, but he still glanced to the side with concern.
When the Mei sisters came out from the backstage after changing their clothes, Su Yun saw that it was almost time, so she said, "Let's get ready to go back. We don't have anything to do next. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest early."
The Mei sisters didn't like to join in the fun, so they immediately responded happily with a "yes".
After receiving a positive response and speaking to Chen and Zhang, Su Yun put one hand on the table for support and stood up shakily.
"Be careful!" Chen Boyang, who had been paying close attention to Su Yun the whole time, reacted the fastest this time. He immediately stood up and supported the fallen Su Yun.
Perhaps because he had been busy with work and had not had enough rest recently, Su Yun's alcohol tolerance was less than before. He felt dizzy when he stood up suddenly.
Chen Boyang looks tall, thin and artistic, but he is actually a sports enthusiast. Su Yun was supported and hugged by him again, and the feeling of being cared for wholeheartedly was gentle and reassuring.
However, compared to Su Yun's rare feeling of security, Chen Boyang, who was holding the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, was so surprised that his face turned red. He was so at a loss that he didn't know what to do next.
In his dreams, he had imagined a beautiful scene in which he confessed his feelings to Su Yun and the two of them would be intimate and affectionate with each other, but dreams are just dreams after all, and he knew that it would be very difficult to achieve the current pace.
Unexpectedly, a sudden accident allowed him to get his wish ahead of time.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to worry about this.
Just when Su Yun was hugged by him, a flash of light that they were both very familiar with suddenly flashed from somewhere, startling the two of them and separated instantly.
There were many reporters in the venue tonight, and they took photos everywhere from time to time for material use. The timing of this flash was very good, and for a moment, it was impossible to find where it came from.
All we can do is wait and see which newspaper or magazine will publish the photo tomorrow, and then find someone to suppress the scandal.
Watching Su Yun's departing figure, Zhang Querong secretly poked Chen Boyang, who was sitting in his seat in a daze, with his finger: "You are really quick to react, you little bastard. How is it, your dream has come true? Doesn't it feel good?"
It would have been better if you hadn't asked. As soon as you asked, the redness on Chen Boyang's face began to spread. At first glance, it looked like the redness of a cooked shrimp that only appears when a person is drunk.
Seeing his impatient look of a young novice, Zhang Querong, who thought himself very mature and experienced in love, clicked his tongue twice, then continued to drink by himself with an auntie smile on his face.
"Oh, you must be extremely happy about this scandal." Zhang Querong sighed while drinking.
It is certainly enjoyable for those who watch a good show, but the characters in the play are not as calm - even after returning home, washing up and lying on the bed, Chen Boyang still felt dizzy with unbelievable yet sweet feelings.
Then, early the next morning, he was forcibly dug out from under the quilt by the agent Tan Guoxi, who came to his door with newspapers and magazines.
"What do you mean?" Tan Guoxi pointed at the color photo in the newspaper in his hand and asked with a complicated expression.
Seeing that it was the unexpected hug between him and Su Yun last night, Chen Boyang's face turned red before he could finish his explanation: "It's just..."
"What is it? Don't tell me you are dating Marilyn Sue!" Tan Guoxi's face was shocked.
"No..." Chen Boyang lowered his head, "It was just an accident."
"Well, that's what I said." After hearing Chen Boyan's reply, Tan Guoxi sighed, his expression showing a rare disappointment.
"Didn't you say you don't support me dating? You said you wanted to maintain your idol image, and even if we were really dating, we couldn't just make it public..." Seeing that Patrick Tam actually showed a disappointed look, Bo-Yeung Chen asked in confusion.
Even when he went to visit Su Yun and was mistakenly rumored to have a relationship with the gambling king's daughter He Pingsi, Tan Guoxi had a look of disappointment on his face and immaturely disagreed with the response.
"The internal relationships of the Ho family in Macau are so complicated that you can't handle it at all. If you rush in rashly, you may get yourself into trouble. Of course, I don't agree!" Tan Guoxi became more and more helpless about this overly simple-minded man under his command. "Marie Sue's environment was not good back then. If you rush in, you may get into trouble..."
"But now, she has turned things around, she's old enough, and she's even half your superior. If you can really have anything going on with her, I'll have to praise you for being capable!"
Chen Boyang was stunned: Although it was a good thing to have the support of this notoriously strict agent, didn’t it mean that... his IQ and EQ were underestimated?
Seeing that Chen Baiyang was trying to take the newspaper in his hand to read the content clearly, Tan Guoxi smoothly unfolded it, and the big headline "Is it fate or disaster? Mary Sue was so scared after being hit on by the gambling king that she almost fainted on the spot!" was displayed in front of Chen Baiyang without reservation.
Let’s take a look at the entire article again: Okay, except for the fact that half of his back is shown in the photo, the subtitle and the content of the article are all speculating about the relationship between He Gambling King and Su Yun!
Unable to believe it, I snatched the other newspapers and magazines from Tan Guoxi's hand - even better, the other newspapers and magazines had no content, not even the photo with him, and were all full of speculations about the sudden conversation between Ho Gambling King and Su Yun last night. Some speculated that the two sides were preparing to cooperate, some speculated that the gambling king had taken a fancy to Su Yun and wanted her to be his fifth wife, and there were even more speculations that Su Yun used her beauty to seduce the richest man in Macau...
The most outrageous one even specifically described the relationship between Su Yun and He Pingsi when they were roommates in college, and then wrote a long and joking account of He Pingsi's mental journey in a very entertaining way, almost asking her "How would you feel if your roommate became your mother?"
Regardless of how mixed up Chen Po-yang was at home as he had been expecting to be involved in a scandal but ended up with nothing, sitting in the Azalea Cafe, Su Yun and her old neighbors were reading newspapers and magazines and were almost laughing to death.
"She is just being pretentious." During this period, Su Yun, who returned to Hong Kong, would occasionally accompany Grandma Su to the coffee shop in So Uk Estate to eat. Moreover, the grandmother-in-law and grandson were originally from So Uk Estate, so everyone basically believed in Su Yun's character.
The reason why Su Yun dared to return to So Uk Estate in her true identity was that in addition to the fact that everyone in the estate basically saw each other every day and was very familiar with each other, and it was not easy for outsiders such as reporters to blend in, another reason was that she was nostalgic for these old neighbors who, although they had various small shortcomings, could distinguish the importance of right and wrong.
That is why these fabricated and nonsense newspapers and magazines make them laugh so hard.
"There will be new news in a while, and the innocent will be cleared." Facing the concern and gossip of the neighbors, Su Yun responded calmly to such replies.
It was probably true that what they said came true. Before the neighbors could even take a few bites of breakfast, several people rushed in from outside the cafe and said, "Oh no! Someone is trying to jump from the Shizhu Building!"
The buildings in So Uk Estate are all named after plants, such as Camellia House where Su Yun once lived, Azalea House where Azalea Tea Restaurant is located, etc. Naturally, Dianthus House located in the middle is also named in this way.
"What?!" Not only the neighbors from the various buildings who were having breakfast in the coffee shop, but even Su Yun and Grandma Su stood up in surprise.
"It's the Vietnamese woman who loves gambling in Shizhu Building. Early this morning, the door of her house was poured red paint by gangsters who were chasing debts. Not only did she bring trouble to the neighbors, but her husband couldn't stand her either, so he packed up and left overnight!" The person who came in also had some red spots on his body. It seemed that he was the poor neighbor who was implicated by the Vietnamese woman.
"I didn't intend to care about her at first. If I did, she would cry and wail about how we, the neighbors, were bullying her, a foreigner. I had no choice but to take the rag and wipe the red paint off our wall..."
"As a result, when the Vietnamese woman woke up, she found that her husband had not only fled overnight but also left behind a divorce agreement. She went crazy on the spot!"
"While we were cleaning the wall, she secretly took her two children to the rooftop and threatened that if her husband didn't come back, she would throw the two children down and then jump down herself! Everyone held them and died together!"
"Have you called the police?" others asked in unison.
"It has been reported, but no one came so quickly, so I ran around and asked for help. The Vietnamese woman left her two children on the edge of the roof. How could this be possible? She is a mother and a mother again. This is the first time I have seen a mother do this!"
"Don't say so much, let's go and take a look!" People walked towards the Shizhu Building one after another.
As soon as I got downstairs, I could vaguely hear the soft cry of a child upstairs.
Because there were too many people taking the elevator, Su Yun, one of the young people who decisively chose to run down the stairs and give up the elevator, heard the sound and looked out of the corridor. She saw a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old with half of her body pushed out of the edge of the roof. She was crying breathlessly because she was too frightened.
As the little girl cried and struggled, a school badge on her body fell off.
Su Yun picked it up and looked down to see the name on the school badge: Cai Shaoxin.
