Chapter 123 The bloody incident of Tian Ruan being taken away by Yu Jingmo.
"We'll talk about marriage later." Du Henbie said calmly, "I don't have the intention to do so yet."
He Lans smiled and didn't say anything. He just took two glasses of red wine and gave him one. "Chess."
Du hated not to clink glasses with him.
Seeing that they all seemed to be at ease, Tian Ruan was confused. Are these two people being insincere or are they acting for real? Obviously, such an intimate relationship happened, but it seemed like they didn't care much.
As expected, one is a love expert and the other is a love playboy?
Tian Ruan looked at the two of them. One was gentle and handsome, wearing plain gold-rimmed glasses, which perfectly embodied the word "elegant"; the other was beautiful and charming, with curved eyebrows and eyes like a thousand-year-old fox spirit.
...You know what, they really are a perfect match.
Unfortunately, there is always something missing. Perhaps it is that the physical desire comes before the spiritual match. Although they have many topics to talk about, it is difficult to touch their souls given their personalities.
Tian Ruan felt a sense of precariousness, and as if to confirm this feeling, Helans paused.
A graceful lady in a sky-blue cheongsam with peony patterns was sitting next to the piano in a corner of the banquet hall, playing the pipa, which attracted many people's attention and conversations.
Tian Ruan suddenly remembered that he had seen this woman at an auction before. She was a beauty with ordinary features and not very pretty eyes, but her whole aura was very classical, as if she had walked out of a beauty painting from a hundred years ago, full of the atmosphere of Chinese art.
She is Hollands' ex-girlfriend.
Tian Ruan: "...Isn't it the annual meeting of Dongqing Group?"
A director nearby said with a smile, "The PR department specially invited someone from the opera troupe to entertain us. This lady is the best at playing the pipa in the opera theater. A performance like this is not cheap."
Helans's expression was indifferent, and he quickly looked away.
Du Henbie smiled and said, "Aren't you going to chat with your old friend?"
"My old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower and went to Yangzhou in March with fireworks." Helan Si said this poetically, "My old friend left long ago, and I don't have many old friends now."
The He family fell and went bankrupt, the business world was always cold and indifferent, all the friends and old acquaintances that He Lans had made, whether genuine or fake, all disappeared like smoke, and no one contacted him.
Even his biological parents disappeared to the other side of the earth, leaving only a seriously ill grandfather lying in the hospital, and the only remaining property was occupied by his cousin.
Helans no longer has any old friends, now there are only enemies and newcomers.
The pipa music astonished the whole audience, and the applause was thunderous. Du Henbie clapped his hands and said, "It is indeed beautiful."
Helans clapped his hands, and the woman smiled and was about to leave, but suddenly she saw her "ex-boyfriend" whom she hadn't seen for many years. He had a handsome figure and the same face, and he was dazzling in the crowd.
After thinking it over, the woman came over here holding the pipa and greeted shyly: "He Lan Si, long time no see."
He Lans smiled warmly: "Long time no see, Huang Li."
It sounds like "huangli" (oriole), and the sound is indeed sweet and pleasant. Tian Ruan thought so and picked up a slice of watermelon and started eating it happily.
Snap, snap—
"How have you been these years?" Huang Li looked up with a look of reluctance to speak, and every move he made was like a painting.
Tian Ruan suddenly understood why He Lans liked this woman back then.
Hollands: "I'm fine, how about you?"
Huang Li smiled slightly: "I'm married. What about you?"
He Lans was slightly startled, "Oh, I haven't yet." Pulling Du Henbie over, "But I have had a few girlfriends and a few boyfriends, this is my current boyfriend."
Huang Li looked at Du Henbie in surprise, only to see that he was handsome and elegant. He nodded and said, "Hello. I am Helan Si's college classmate."
Crunch, crunch, Tian Ruan eats the melon.
Du Henbie calmly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Huang Li. "Hello, I'm Helan Si's boyfriend, Du Henbie."
Huang Li nodded, "Good name."
"Ms. Huang's name is also fresh and refined."
The three of them looked at each other, feeling slightly awkward.
Huang Li said: "I have forgotten what happened in college."
Hollands: “But I haven’t forgotten.”
Huang Li was stunned.
"Why did you go back to Su City?"
"My husband is here..."
"Still cheating?"
“…”
"Sorry, I'm nosy. It's none of my business whether you cheat or not."
Huang Li bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyelashes: "I was the one who let you down back then, but you were too proud and never asked me what I wanted. You always forced your needs on me."
Tian Ruan put his head between them and asked, "What does Helansi want? Is it big?"
Huang Li: “…”
Helan Si smiled wryly and pulled Tian Ruan aside. Just as Tian Ruan was about to struggle, Du Henbie held his head down, making him unable to move and could only eat watermelon.
Lu Qiuyan looked at him with a click of the tongue. He was not like Tian Ruan, who was quiet while eating melons and would not go up to ask for a fight.
Huang Li was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to escape. Just as she turned around with her pipa in her arms, she was stopped by Helan Si.
He Lans said: "You don't have to worry about it. It's done. I'm not a good person. You should leave."
Huang Li said sadly: "I have thought a lot over the years. At the beginning, you were too proud and I was timid. I didn't believe that a child of destiny like you would notice an ordinary person like me, so I wanted to test your sincerity. I..."
"Actually, I don't like you that much." He Lans interrupted her, leaving no room for either of them.
Huang Li smiled bitterly: "I understand."
Tian Ruan had a watermelon seed on her lips, and she dubbed it affectionately like a matchmaker: "No, you don't understand. He Lan Si is just afraid that you will not be faithful to your wife and rekindle your old love with him."
Huang Li: “…”
Hollands: "Will you die if you shut up?"
Tian Ruan: "You don't have a mouth, so I grow one for you, and you are still mean to me. Big brother, you have to avenge me."
Du Henbie did not comment, but just said to Huang Li: "Miss Huang, take care. We will meet again if we are lucky."
Huang Li nodded, then walked away slowly holding the pipa.
Tian Ruan was so upset that she thought it would become a love triangle, with the ex-lover fighting against the new boyfriend and the scumbag caught in the middle.
"I didn't expect you to be so principled." Tian Ruan said to He Lans.
He Lan Si laughed and said, "My moral principle is that a good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has left, let alone the hay that is seven or eight years old."
Being able to take on and let go is indeed Helans' character.
I just don't know if Du Henbie will become "hay". Tian Ruan must not let the CP he is supporting fail. Although he was not optimistic about it from the beginning, he is the cheap brother after all, and blood is thicker than water, so he has to help.
"My elder brother is still the best. He is rich, has free time, and has a big penis and is good at what he does." Tian Ruan praised seriously.
Helan Si glanced at Du Henbie's face and smiled: "It's a big thing and good at sex."
Du Henbie smiled politely: "As long as you like it."
Lu Qiuyan has no ears to hear, so please don’t let a minor like him hear this kind of adult content, okay?
Soon, a circle of people surrounded Du Henbie.
There has not been much cooperation between Dongqing Group and the Du family, and few people know that Tian Ruan is the youngest son of the Du family. Du Hen's other names are not very well-known in the country, but he dared to compete with Dongqing for cooperation with state-owned enterprises last time, which is a rare stubbornness in the industry.
"Does Mr. Du practice Iron Head Kung Fu regularly?" a director asked.
Du Henbie: “?”
Du Henbie smiled and said, "I don't know if I am stubborn or not, but my brother is stubborn anyway."
"younger brother?"
"Oh, it's Yu Jingmo's wife."
"!!"
The news of this relationship soon spread throughout the Dongqing Group. They had always believed that Tian Ruan was of ordinary background and a worthless bed-climbing girl, who married Yu Jingmo by accident.
Now it seems that he is hiding his abilities. With such a great family background, there is no news at all.
The reason why his surname is Tian instead of Du is probably just a trick to deceive people.
In everyone's mind, even if Tian Ruan didn't wear the sandalwood beads given to him by Yu Jingmo, and without Yu Jingmo's favor, his status and position would have become more noble - this was basically a business marriage.
After Yu Jingmo finished his social engagements, he also held a ten-minute meeting with the CEOs.
He was wearing a silver-black custom-made suit that was well-cut, comfortable and slim, making him look tall and thin, with his explosive muscles all hidden under the neat and elegant alpaca wool fabric.
Her legs are so long that her waist seems narrow and her shoulders seem broad. The handmade leather shoes have pointed toes and are shiny and gleaming.
Whether sitting or standing, it's a painting. The perfectly proportioned jawline and nose bridge formed a steep arc, and even a millimeter more or less would not do. The pressure forced the surroundings to be quiet, and everyone dared to talk only ten meters away.
Yu Jingmo caught Tian Ruan's curious look.
Yu Jingmo calmly said "Let's adjourn the meeting" and strode towards Tian Ruan with his long legs.
Tian Ruan looked up and asked, "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo reached out to wipe the watermelon seeds off his face, took his hand and greeted Du Henbie, "Why didn't your father-in-law and mother-in-law come?"
Tian Ruan answered quickly: "Dad twisted his waist when he was taking a shit and wiping his butt, and mom is taking care of him."
“…”
Du Henbie: "Actually, it doesn't need to be that detailed."
Yu Jingmo looked around and saw Yu Shang socializing diligently, so he changed the subject: "What do you think of the project I mentioned earlier, Mr. Du?"
Du Henbie smiled softly: "Let's talk business. I'm not satisfied with the price you offered me. You can't let me work for free just because we're family, right?"
Yu Jingmo: "Add another 30 million."
Du Henbie stretched out a hand, "At least this is a family price."
"Can."
Du Henbie raised his glass of red wine and said, "Happy cooperation."
Yu Jingmo picked up a glass of champagne and clinked glasses with him, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
The music on the speakers changed to a cheerful tune, and the public relations host came on stage to liven up the atmosphere, saying, "How can we have a year-end carnival night without celebrities to liven up the atmosphere? Please welcome——"
I kept it a secret on purpose to attract everyone's attention.
However, as the capital side, everyone is knowledgeable and will not take the little stars in the entertainment industry to heart at all, as they have seen it before. It's not surprising to see celebrities often appear to liven up the fun when you attend cocktail parties and dinners.
"Yan xx!!" As soon as the host finished speaking, a fashionable man with golden hair dyed with red hair walked down the stairs. His face with delicate makeup did look quite handsome. He was wearing a sleeveless pullover with the English letters "MAD" scribbled on it, which looked like "shit" at first glance.
The leggings are decorated with ribbons below the thighs, creating a fairy-like effect. As Axe walked, he winked at everyone.
Not to mention, his flirting eyes were actually received by some people. At least the assistant secretaries and clerks who had few opportunities to meet big stars were very excited: "xx!"
Tian Ruan: “…”
Axel's seductive glance came over here, and when he saw Tian Ruan, his eyes twitched and he rolled down the stairs.
Tian Ruan didn't understand but accepted it, and gave him a handful of peanuts, "Happy New Year, no need to pray."
Axel looked past Tian Ruan and looked at Du Henbie with a confused look on his face.
Tian Ruan: “?”
Du Henbie: "...Long time no see, Axel."
Tian Ruan: "!! What's going on?"
He Lan Si looked at Du Henbie with a half-smile, "My ex-girlfriend just left, and now here comes your ex-boyfriend?"
Du hates not to be silent.
The public relations department didn't dare to speak and watched the scene in amazement.
Everyone: “???”
Axe got up from the ground in a panic, without looking at Du Henbie, and readjusted his facial expression. He went on stage and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Axe. Some of you may not recognize me..."
Host: “Everyone knows you.”
Axe tried hard to tighten his face, almost twisting it, "Really? I'm so famous? I don't pay much attention to these things, so I wouldn't know."
Tian Ruan looked at Ex silently, and what shocked him even more was that Du Henbie had actually dated xx?
As the melons in the melon field rotted, another one grew. Tian Ruan quickly got between Du Henbie and Helans.
The two looked at him, and the next second, Tian Ruan was grabbed away by Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo: "Just be sensible and listen in."
Tian Ruan nodded, took another slice of watermelon, and looked at Du Henbie expectantly, "Brother, I'm ready to eat watermelon, tell me."
Du Henbie: "..."
It may not be appropriate for him to travel today.
