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

Chapter 426 Reunion

"Ma'am, aren't you cold?"

"It doesn't matter, because compared to the feeling in my heart, the cold outside is nothing."

"Heart, what's wrong with my heart?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you, otherwise you wouldn't still be single at the age of thirty."

"What's the big deal about being single? I'm happy. Others can't even imagine how happy I am... Just eat your sushi, stop talking!"

"Where's the boss?"

"In the tent."

On the Iron Curtain Tower, wisps of hot steam were rising outside the tent.

Two men in suits were talking while scooping food from the self-heating hot pot.

The cold wind blew.

In such an environment, it is quite interesting to look at Tokyo city from afar and eat steaming hot pot.

Ino asked two people to keep an eye on Jiang Yao while she handled official business in the tent.

The two people stared at Jiang Yao's back.

One didn't understand why she was sitting there alone, while the other knew it very well and sighed.

Being stood up is something that would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

However, the two minions could do nothing but eat the sushi on the plates in big mouthfuls to keep warm and resist the cold at high altitudes.

"I'm on a high tower, don't you think the view below is beautiful? Are you afraid of heights just by watching the video? Xiaowan, you are too timid."

As the two of them were swallowing, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the edge of the iron tower.

They looked up.

Jiang Yao was talking to someone on a video call.

Hearing the long-lost laughter, the two looked at each other and buried their heads in eating more vigorously.

After a few days of business trip, she didn't have to deal with busy affairs in the company. The "Tokyo Affairs Group" arranged by the leader was around Jiang Yao all day long, and she had a clear understanding of this lady of noble status.

Everyone agreed.

This Chinese lady who came all the way to Tokyo is a truly two-dimensional fantasy existence that is even more two-dimensional than the two-dimensional girls popular in Japan.

Although Japan is the birthplace of two-dimensional beautiful girls, they who are surrounded by this strange culture clearly understand that such women do not exist in reality.

On the contrary, there is a serious gender confrontation in China. Whether in the workplace or on campus, men and women discriminate against each other, and their stereotypes about each other cannot be corrected no matter what. As a result, the marriage and fertility rates are declining year by year, and there are many cases of people in their thirties who are still single and do not want to get married at all.

Even if the government intervenes, it will be of no avail.

Compared with the dreamy romance drama, the dry reality seems particularly ironic.

There is a very obvious deviation in cognition and existence between the kind of marriage partners men expect and those women expect.

Needless to say, most people are struggling to make ends meet, and they already face enough pressure. Marriage also brings with it the added pressure of family.

As for Jiang Yao, after getting to know her for the past few days, the people from the Tokyo Affairs Group discovered that she was very different from the girls they currently met in real life.

Her lively personality, the cuteness she occasionally shows, her sincere smile and sadness, and even the playful little movements when she walks.

When Ino and the others saw this, they were actually moved.

Especially her sincerity towards Mr. Jiang.

It turns out that there have always been such good women in this world.

It is precisely because of the beauty in them that drives people to pursue true love.

Who doesn't want to have a girlfriend like this?

On the tower.

After they had their fill, they began playing a traditional word guessing game.

If they knew that the love between Jiang Yao and Chen Yuan, which they envied, was not as pure and innocent as it seemed on the surface, but was full of distortions and struggles, I wonder if they would still envy it as much as they do now.

They also didn't know that in addition to Jiang Yao, there was also Jiang Ning...

……

It was almost midnight, half past eleven at night.

Coming from across the world.

A long journey of several hours.

Chen Yuan finally arrived in Tokyo.

When the driver took him to the target location near the Iron Curtain Tower, his legs were still weak and his head was a little dizzy.

This is the aftereffect of drinking too much alcohol.

This is even with the help of hangover medicine.

If Ji Hai hadn't thoughtfully arranged a hangover remedy for him, Chen Yuan would probably still be unable to walk straight.

"Are we almost there?" Chen Yuan licked his dry lips.

After drinking countless bottles of water on the way, he still felt thirsty. However, after moving his body a few times, he could feel that his stomach was full of water.

"We're almost there, Mr. Jiang," the driver checked the navigation, "less than one kilometer."

"Drive faster."

"But……"

"It's okay with me, just drive faster."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but urge him further.

He and Jiang Yao had originally agreed to arrive in the afternoon, but now it was almost midnight. He was clutching his phone, not even daring to reply to messages.

He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the two sisters would be angry.

It’s not that he’s a coward.

But when she gets angry, she has to be coaxed. There is no other way if she is not coaxed.

Chen Yuan stared intently at the dial on his wrist, watching the second hand move one by one, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He was about to meet Jiang Yao, so he had to prepare his words.

"Mr. Jiang, we're here." The driver's voice suddenly sounded.

"Okay." Chen Yuan raised his face.

After the driver parked the car steadily, Chen Yuan got out. The moment he pushed the door, the cold wind blowing in his face made him shrink his neck.

Then he looked around, but didn't see Jiang Yao at all.

There was only a black Mitsubishi sedan parked there.

"咚咚-"

As the car windows rolled down, the Tokyo office members who were eating sandwiches were stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Jiang!" The man in the suit quickly got out of the car.

"What about people?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's puzzled look, the man in the suit wiped his mouth and pointed upwards.

"On the tower."

"Huh?" Chen Yuan looked up at the Iron Curtain Tower that was hundreds of meters high and was a little stunned for a moment.

"My wife said she wanted to put a perfect end to this trip to Tokyo, so she climbed up the Iron Curtain Tower. There were many tourists up there, all waiting to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning."

"Wait up there?"

"To be precise, we are here to enjoy the night view. Oh, and we have prepared tents and food, which is enough for a comfortable night."

"……All right."

Led by this man, Chen Yuan came to the Iron Curtain Tower. What caught his eyes were countless horizontal protrusions for grasping and several safety ropes hanging on the ground.

He swallowed immediately.

“Did you climb up there alive?”

"Well... the Iron Curtain Tower currently has no elevators or ropeways, so this is the only way to get up there. Of course, I will climb with you, Mr. Jiang, to ensure your safety. It rained in Tokyo last night, and the handrails are slippery, so you must pay attention to safety."

To be honest, Chen Yuan didn't want to climb no matter what.

He was already extremely tired after coming all the way here, and after drinking, his back and waist ached and his legs were weak. He had to use his hands and feet to climb several hundred meters... You can imagine how painful it would be.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled.

……

A few minutes later.

Above the Iron Curtain Tower, a hundred meters high.

Ino was busy working in the tent when the phone beside her suddenly rang.

As soon as he saw the notes, he quickly took it.

"Mr. Jiang——"

But before he could finish, a roar came from the other end of the phone.

"Who the hell gave her the idea? Is this tower climbable?"

A drop of cold sweat fell on Ino's forehead.

"Sir, let me explain..."

……

Cold, painful, numb and numb hands and feet, looking down will be horrified, looking up will be filled with despair.

The word "desperate" is the most appropriate to describe Chen Yuan's state.

He had rested countless times along the way. It was cold at night, and the climb was much more difficult than in the afternoon when the tourists climbed.

No way.

He could only regard this brief pain as a belated punishment.

It's his fault for not keeping his promise.

"It's the last thirty meters. Come on, Mr. Jiang," the man in a suit below said breathlessly, "The clouds will clear tomorrow morning, and the sunrise will be very beautiful."

"You should also be careful... Go!"

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, grabbed the handrail above, and climbed up with all his strength.

There are several tents on the tower, all with night lights installed on the top. They sway in the wind, and the soft lights are very similar to the light emitted by fireflies.

But this light seemed a little blurry in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Standing on the tower, Chen Yuan felt himself sweating all over, and he had a premonition that he would catch a cold tomorrow.

He listened to his own panting and breathing, and his heart was rising and falling.

"Yaoyao." Chen Yuan shouted while holding onto the iron frame beside him.

Just for a moment.

Jiang Yao's shoulders shook twice, then she turned around with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Why don't you stay in the tent? Why are you still outside? It's freezing!"

The moment she saw him, Jiang Yao's eyes flashed wildly.

For a long time.

She did not answer.

When Chen Yuan approached, just a few steps away.

A suppressed and hoarse voice came out of her mouth.

"I thought you weren't coming..."

Looking at her red eyes and stubbornly pursed lips, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that climbing these several hundred meters was worth it.

He scratched his head, feeling somewhat guilty.

"How could I not come? I must do what I promised you—"

"You bastard!"

However, before he could finish, Jiang Yao suddenly fell into his arms, buried her cheek in his clothes, and hugged him tightly.

The long-lost fragrance came to his face and assaulted Chen Yuan, who felt as if his waist was about to be broken in two.

Jiang Yao's embrace was warm, as if it had driven away some of the coldness for him. When she raised her delicate little face, tears glistened in her eyes.

"I thought you didn't want me anymore... and just wanted to stay with my sister. You know how scared I was... Woohoo, why didn't you reply to my messages? You missed me so much, woohoo..."

Jiang Yao said harsh words, but none of them had any killing power. Her pitiful appearance made Chen Yuan's heart melt in an instant.

"How is that possible? I won't abandon Yaoyao. Stop crying. It's embarrassing to be seen crying." Chen Yuan coaxed in a low voice.

"You are not even allowed to cry now...why are your hands so cold?" Jiang Yao sobbed, and after touching his hand, she shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

"You climbed too high. You almost killed me coming up here!"

"There is a heating blanket in the tent, go and sit down." Jiang Yao took his hand and dragged him in without saying a word.

And not far away.

Three men in suits stood together, silently watching the scene of the lovers' reunion.

"So happy~"

"Yes, yes. I'm so envious."

"This is probably what love is. Why am I a little touched?"

They sighed and murmured.

Suddenly.

A shout came from the ladder of the Iron Curtain Tower.

"Hey, Master Ino! Help me! My hands are freezing."

The man in a suit who followed Chen Yuan up had a look of dying pain on his face. He just stuck half of his head out and shouted at the three people.
