The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 371: The Lover Preparing to Escape (VIII)

In fact, he didn't feel dizzy so strongly when he was drinking. It was when the banquet was over and he was saying goodbye and was hit by a cold wind beside the car, that he felt his nerves becoming more and more numb.

Sitting in the back seat of the car.

The warm wind from the back seat blew on his face, and Chen Yuan felt his body sliding down. When he opened his eyes, everything was hazy and the lights outside were spinning. It was even more uncomfortable when he closed his eyes, as if he was on a pirate ship, swaying endlessly.

He simply sat there blankly, squinting his eyes with great effort. The loose coat became like the fur of a polar bear, trapping him completely inside. His sense of the outside world became increasingly blurred, and only his temples could clearly feel a throbbing sensation.

"If not, just take a nap. You'll be there when you wake up."

"Uncomfortable..."

"That can't be helped. You accepted everything that came your way and you drank so much. It's too late to feel uncomfortable now," Jiang Ning said as she told the driver in the front seat, "Drive slower, so he doesn't vomit later."

"Okay." The driver nodded quickly.

"But I do feel a weird sense of happiness after drinking too much. I've never felt this way before. Is it too much?"

Chen Yuan sat up straight, holding his chin and staring at the pocket on the seat in front of him with a distracted look.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning was close enough to hear what he said, otherwise it would have been difficult to understand what he was saying.

"That depends on your alcohol tolerance."

"I used to drink beer with my friends. I had my first drink in middle school. When I was little, I couldn't understand why adults drank alcohol. It was so bitter... It didn't smell good either. I had to pinch my nose to drink it. Not to mention red and white beer, which was astringent and pungent. Now I don't think it tastes good either. Burp!" Chen Yuan burped again. "Give me the cup. I'll have another drink."

Chen Yuan must not be very sober at the moment, and seemed to be talking to himself. His bangs were messed up by himself just now, and even though it was dark in the back seat of the car, the blush on his handsome cheeks could still be seen.

Such a face, with delicate features and clear eyebrows, has an outline that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Jiang Ning hadn't stared at him for a while, so she took advantage of his unpreparedness and stared at him seriously for a moment without fear of being noticed.

"So why don't you just study hard? Why did you have to get involved in this mess? I found that you do like to do some arrogant things. This is one of your shortcomings that I didn't realize before."

"Because I have my plans...my ideas...hiccups, you don't understand."

"Yes, I really don't understand. Then you are happy. If you don't cherish your precious college years, you will regret it in the future if you enter the society so early... There are many things as unbearable as being forced to drink at the table, and the beauty of youth is fleeting."

"I want to grow up," Chen Yuan suddenly turned his head, holding his hot cheeks with his hands and looking at Jiang Ning, "Faster, faster, I often feel that it's too late... I'm afraid that if I grow up too slowly, you will be farther and farther away from me..."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at him without saying anything.

"You see, I don't look so awkward standing next to you now. You won't be mistaken for someone from a different world. Although it may sound a bit petty, I often feel subtle happiness about this. I'm really happy," he continued, "I hope I'll be worthy of you soon."

"That's not necessary..." Jiang Ning avoided his gaze and pretended to be relaxed.

“Change is what everyone who wants to love should do. Although some people always say that loving yourself is the greatest virtue, when two people are together, isn’t the purpose of getting along to smooth out their edges? Change yourself and eventually adapt to each other as if they were made for each other. This is the responsibility that must be assumed when becoming a character. We should all have our own sense of role.” Chen Yuan whispered.

"Then change can't be endless, right? If it changes to the end, won't there be no principles left?" Jiang Ning couldn't help but refute.

"We will all become people we don't recognize. I used to want to wear a white coat and do research for the rest of my life. I had this dream, but it didn't necessarily mean that I really loved doing scientific research. I just wanted to stay away from this messy society. Isn't that also a form of escape?"

"No one is stopping you, you can go now."

"It's too late. I have new pursuits. Instead of running away, I now have something I want to protect... Be a good man~ Be strong every day~ A passionate man is hotter than the red sun~"

As Chen Yuan was talking, he suddenly started singing. He felt an inexplicable surge of blood. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, feeling the dizzying beauty. The tune was so far away that he could not even remember it.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Ning laughed out of anger, frowned and looked at him, "Stop singing."

She clenched her fist and punched Chen Yuan on the shoulder. She looked so ferocious and there was no sign of gentleness at all.

"Don't use so much force, it hurts..."

"Then you better be honest, or I--"

"Good good."

Jiang Ning's glaring look made Chen Yuan shut up quickly. He finally calmed down a little, closed his eyes and began to take a nap, but his movement of lying diagonally on the seat was a little strange, with his hands spread out to the side, constantly sliding in the other direction, and in just a few seconds, he leaned on her.

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly. Of course she knew that Chen Yuan did it on purpose, so she reached out and wanted to slap him to wake him up.

But her hand had just been suspended in the air, and she was about to take the picture when Chen Yuan suddenly buried his face in her elbow and rubbed it lazily a few times.

Her slender wrist was against Chen Yuan's cheek.

Jiang Ning bit her lip and told herself silently: Just this once.

She turned her head to look out the window and ignored it.

The car drove steadily on the road to Lanjing. The night was dark and two beams of light pierced the silence of the night.

The driver in the front seat said nothing and even tried to slow down his breathing, making himself become a dead object.

Turn a deaf ear to the conversations and happenings in the back row.

He didn't dare to look.

The driver had seen bosses and secretaries having a good relationship and flirting with each other, but he had never seen a secretary dare to hit the boss... and this boss was not an ordinary boss, but the only designated heir of the Jiang family. How good must their relationship be for her to dare to punch him when he was drunk.

The driver didn't dare to think too much. He just focused on his own road.

……

In the middle of the night, the main hall of the villa was still brightly lit.

The swaying tune of Peking Opera is like a line swaying in the night sky, extremely melodious.

Gao Dengfeng, who is 56 years old, did not look drunk at all after drinking. Instead, he looked radiant. He stood among several old friends, with his head held high, and sang Peking Opera in a very serious manner.

As his clear and powerful voice rang out, several middle-aged men nearby also shook their heads happily.

Every age group has its own way of entertainment after drinking, and Gao Dengfeng is extremely fond of Peking Opera.

"I never thought that I would retire soon, and thought it would be difficult to advance in my career, but I would have such a good opportunity in my later years. You and I still don't know what President Jiang's determination is, but it is indeed a fate that changes my destiny." He chanted for a while, and couldn't help sighing.

"Director Gao has worked hard for so many years. Everyone has seen it. It is no exaggeration to say that he has worked diligently and devotedly, just like Zhuge Liang in the Empty City Scheme! President Jiang is of course aware of this, so it is impossible for him to treat you unfairly."

"Comparing me to Zhuge Liang is pure boasting," Gao Dengfeng shook his head. "I just did my job well. The North District is the most dangerous of the five districts. I have been constrained everywhere since I took office. I am used to seeing other people's faces. Any policy has to be implemented under extremely difficult circumstances. But that being said, do those who are sent out live comfortably? Everyone can only see their current situation. Even if President Jiang doesn't pave the way for me, I can't say anything."

"Director Gao is right. Many people are vying to get on the Jiang family's ship, but once they get on board, it's an even more dangerous situation. In this case, retirement may not be a bad thing."

"The journey may be long but the destination will come. The task may be difficult but the achievement will be made. Now the reform of the North District has reached the most critical moment. I was shocked when I first received the notice from the headquarters, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was unexpected but reasonable. Letting Mr. Jiang's son take over as the general director will not only change the situation in the North District, but also pave the way for Mr. Jiang in advance... Last night, do you know what Mr. Jiang asked me?"

"What? Director Gao, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly." Someone said anxiously.

"He can immediately transfer me to the headquarters to serve as the head of the Xinhuo Project!"

"Why not go? This is a position with real power, and many people have dreamed of it for a long time."

"I can't go," Gao Dengfeng said with deep eyes, "Boss Jiang has been very kind to me. The situation in the north is complicated. If I leave Boss Jiang and go directly to the headquarters, I will be truly unworthy of my position. This is a test for me."

After hearing his words, everyone fell into deep thought.

When someone is about to ask.

Suddenly, Gao Tongyu, who had changed into her casual clothes at home, ran down from the second floor. She couldn't hold her patience after all, and pretended to be confused after coming down, but in fact she had been observing at the stairs for a long time.

"Dad...uncles, you guys are drunk, why don't you go to bed? What time is it? You're already an old man and you're still staying up late."

"No way," Gao Dengfeng softened the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he saw his daughter. He waved for him to come over: "Let's have some tea together to get rid of the alcohol." "Xiao Yu, are you trying to drive us away?" another middle-aged man joked.

"How dare I? I just came to care about you."

"So good? It seems that my daughter has grown up and become sensible, and knows how to care for others. As the saying goes, a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket. Why is my cotton-padded jacket not leaking today?"

"There has never been a leak before." Gao Tongyu complained.

"Just say whatever you want to say, my dear. Are you short of money again?"

Gao Dengfeng knew his daughter very well. She had never gone near such a bar before, except when she asked for living expenses and pocket money when he was drunk. She would avoid it at other times.

Having come here three times today, anyone can tell something is wrong.

"Dad, this is how I am in your eyes. I have nothing else to do except asking for money, right?"

"You are right then."

"I...well, I do have something else to do." Gao Tongyu did not explain. Her face turned slightly red. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm just a little curious. Who was the person who came to our house today? He looked a little unfamiliar. I've never seen him before."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Which one?"

"Of course it's the young one...the one sitting in the main seat."

It's a bit embarrassing to say, but after returning from Gao Tongyu's drinking table, she and her best friend spent more than an hour guessing Chen Yuan's identity and various situations. When he left, she was still lying on the window and peeping.

I couldn't help it, so I came down to ask.

Otherwise I would be so itchy that I couldn’t sleep at all.

"That person is your father's benefactor," Gao Dengfeng lit a cigarette and took a long puff. "He is the latest general director promoted by the headquarters. He will take over your father's position. After a while, I will be able to go to Kyoto."

"No way? Such a young man is the general manager? What kind of background does this young man have? He looks like a college student."

"You're right. He's one year younger than you," Gao Dengfeng couldn't help but joked, "Look at what they're doing. All you do is shop and play."

"Well, I'm a girl! Dad, you only answered one of my questions..."

"Why, do you still have feelings for me?"

Hearing this, everyone sitting in the main hall smiled subtly and looked at Gao Tongyu.

"Don't mention it. The two young people are of the right age. This can be considered a good marriage. Lao Gao, what do you think?" An uncle who is closely related to the couple said with his eyes brightened.

"Don't talk nonsense... I just think she's pretty and I'm curious." Gao Tongyu quickly explained.

"I don't want to marry someone above my station, that would be very tiring," Gao Dengfeng shook his head. "I would rather my daughter find someone of equal status, so that she won't be bullied when she goes to someone else's house."

Out of reach?!
Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard this.

She has been a princess in the eyes of others since she was a child. Her family is very wealthy. She has luxury cars to pick her up and she travels first class wherever she goes. In other words, no one in her circle has a better family background than her. Her father is the general director of a powerful domestic energy company, managing the energy transmission and distribution of five provinces. Is her family background considered high-class?

"The person sitting in the main seat just now is Mr. Jiang, the only heir to the Jiang family in the future. He is indeed a young talent. Why do you want to meet him?"

"No, I'm just curious!" Gao Tongyu stood up, "Dad, I'm going to sleep. Bye!"

"Tsk...why did you leave after just a few words?"

Gao Dengfeng was quite helpless. The older his daughter got, the more she would follow her own will, and he, as a father, was helpless in what he could do. Fortunately, apart from her love of spending money and being childish and willful, Gao Tongyu did not have any more serious problems.

……

In the underground garage in Fengting Community of Lanjing.

There were only two figures in the bright elevator lobby, and noisy quarrels could be heard from time to time. It was almost dawn and most residents had already fallen asleep, so fortunately no one saw it.

Otherwise Jiang Ning would really have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She supported Chen Yuan, her face full of resentment, and she had the urge to abandon him and walk away.

"Where are you going so late? You were fine just now, why did you go crazy after a night's sleep?" She said to Chen Yuan with a frown.

Chen Yuan in front of her had a dazed look in his eyes and walked unsteadily. If he wasn't supported, he wouldn't be able to stand steadily.

The alcohol that he drank took full effect, making his stomach churn and his back of head a little swollen and painful. But the strange thing was that although his body was uncomfortable, his spirit was exceptionally good. He felt excited from the inside out and had a strong desire to communicate.

"I don't want to go home. I want to find...hiccup, my girlfriend."

"I'm taking you to find it." Jiang Ning supported Chen Yuan's body and naturally gritted her teeth when she heard him say this.

But quarreling in this stairwell is not a big deal after all.

If you want to quarrel, you have to coax her home to quarrel.

The more crucial point is that Jiang Ning has already understood how Jiang's family treats Chen Yuan. In the future, he will inevitably embark on a path that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Perhaps he will replace Jiang Zhengfeng as the person to show the outside world, or perhaps he will become a tool for Jiang's internal reform... No matter which path he takes, Chen Yuan should pay attention to his behavior and not be so reckless anymore.

Well, this is being considered as a secretary.

Jiang Ning said to herself as she unconsciously thought about him.

"Where is she?" Chen Yuan leaned against Jiang Ning and asked.

"At home, you can see her if you follow me to the elevator now."

"I don't want to go. You lied to me. There's nothing at home... I want to find it myself."

"Where are you going to find me in the middle of the night? Stand still!" Jiang Ning scolded him with a dark face, but this time it had no effect. Chen Yuan just raised his face and smiled at her.

A brilliant, harmless smile that made Jiang Ning want to hit him.

"Get in the elevator!"

The elevator, which had already been opened, made a "beeping" sound for quite a while.

Jiang Ning had to drag him in with great force.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the elevator, Chen Yuan threw himself on her and hugged her tightly.

"I feel dizzy...I want to vomit."

"No, you didn't vomit outside just now, but you suddenly did this in the elevator. Don't vomit... Otherwise, we'll have to ask the property management to clean up at this late hour."

"But my stomach feels uncomfortable." Chen Yuan didn't seem to be pretending, he frowned.

I just felt my stomach churning and something was about to rise to my throat.

“No, no, no—just hold on for a moment!”

“I can’t help how spicy it is!”

"You can hold on. You can vomit as much as you want when you get home, my young master," Jiang Ning blurted out in a hurry, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's so stuffy here, and I feel nauseous and can't breathe." Chen Yuan pointed to his stomach.

"I'll help you, just hold on for a few seconds." Jiang Ning watched the elevator climb up and quickly touched Chen Yuan's stomach, "It's okay, we've arrived, and the stuffiness will go away soon..."
