Chapter 54

On the small stage of the bar, a young band is roaring and jumping hard, and the whole bar is full of vigor.In the noisy environment around, Cheng Yuan and Wu Yue each held a bottle of beer, and Cheng Yuan raised the bottle to ask Wu Yue to clink glasses.The two were almost roaring and chatting.

"Cheers! . . . what a fun place to be."

"It's tattered, are you used to it?"

"It's good, I also formed a band in high school."

"What do you do?"

"Bass player."

"Cool, what's the name of your band?"

Cheng Yuan said coyly: "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's too stupid."

"Haha, it must be said! Let me hear what a fool."

"It's called SLUT."

"What do you mean?"

"Slut." Cheng Yuan hesitated for a moment, but said it anyway.

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you louder!"

Cheng Yuan roared loudly: "It means a slut!"

Wu Yue laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, and the people around her looked at her curiously.

Cheng Yuan also laughed, and explained: "I can't help it, I don't choose a strange name, and no one came to see the performance poster after it was posted. I once wanted to be a professional musician, but then I gave up. But it was the happiest time of my life.”

"why?"

"Because I was nothing at that time, just an ordinary poor student."

"You like being a normal person?"

"They said I couldn't be an ordinary person, so I wanted to try."

"I support you! You are cuter when you are an ordinary person."

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Then are we friends now?"

Wu Yue shook hands with Cheng Yuan and said solemnly: "Congratulations on finally becoming my friend!"

Cheng Yuan grabbed Wu Yue's hand and said, "If I stay, would you like to be with me?"

Wu Yue froze for a moment, pretending she couldn't hear clearly and asked, "Ah? What did you say?"

Cheng Yuan suddenly let go of Wu Yue's hand and came to the side of the simple stage. The musicians on the same stage discussed in a low voice, shook hands in greeting, turned on the stage, took the guitar handed over by the lead singer, and turned to discuss the repertoire with the band behind him. .Then Cheng Yuan came to Mike, took off his coat, put on his guitar, his handsome appearance and handsome performance caused cheers from the audience.

Cheng Yuan said: "I want to give this song to the strongest and cutest girl. She rejected me once. At that time, I wanted her to stay by my side, but she said she hated my world. I I want to tell her: Now that I have come to your world, I like it very much, and I want to stay. I hope you can be with me. Don’t answer me now, tomorrow is my birthday, and your answer will be my birthday present. "

After saying these words, Cheng Yuan nodded slightly to the band behind, and the crisp and powerful drum beats sounded, and Cheng Yuan sang a love song affectionately, and the atmosphere of the audience set off a climax again.

Wu Yue stood there blankly, two lines of crystal clear tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

At the entrance of the bar, Li Kejin who had just walked in was also staring at the stage with a complicated expression on his face.

At night, on the streets of Beijing, a man in black got into a taxi.

"Where are you going, sir?" the driver asked.

The man in black looked up, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the driver, and said in blunt Chinese, "Go here, Huaxin Building."

62．perish together

Uncle Qi stood in the lobby of the Cheng Group like a master, signing the secretary's document in high spirits.

The second sister walked in, and the seventh uncle greeted him energetically: "Second miss, why are you here so free?"

The second sister said disapprovingly: "I heard that Uncle Qi just presided over a board meeting to discuss major issues of the group, so let's take a look!"

"Oh, that's what happened. Yesterday I received a message from the government's financial management department that those banks have begun to question the guarantee that Mr. Cheng found, and they are starting to pursue our Cheng's debt."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"After Ah Yuan left, the Cheng family's major affairs have been decided by a three-person team including me. Matters related to life and death must be decided by Mr. Cheng! But you don't know where our Mr. Cheng is now. I don't know, none of us know."

"Mr. Cheng has his own place, but I heard that the board of directors has already started discussing the replacement of the chairman, right?" The second sister looked closely at the seventh uncle.

"I've already convinced them. But you have to know, no one can find Mr. Cheng's whereabouts. The bank is in a hurry, and the directors are also worried about the group!"

The second sister said sharply: "Uncle Qi, is someone anxious, or is everyone anxious?"

Uncle Qi said a little angrily: "Second girl, you are not a member of the board of directors, and I will not take your anger seriously. Now as long as Mr. Cheng is willing to come back, of course he will still be the chairman of the Cheng family. Mr. Cheng, no one doubts this." .”

"But some people don't want him back, and you know that."

"So my old man also wants to express my attitude. If A Yuan doesn't return to Jinchan Island and takes responsibility for the Cheng Group, then I will really risk the world's displeasure, follow the public opinion, and replace him! As we all know, Before and after the death of my eldest brother, I never sought the post of chairman, nor did I ever think about usurping power. For the stability of the Cheng family, I would rather retire and return home; for the stability of Mr. Cheng’s status, I would rather go to a foreign country Another land! I think I have done my best to the Cheng family, but if the Cheng family is in danger first, at this moment of life and death, my old bones will be dead." The seventh uncle said it very righteously, the second sister But his face sank like water.

When I got home, the second sister was walking around in the living room, and said to herself, "No, Uncle Qi's attitude is not right! A Yuan has just left for less than 20 days, and he publicly stated that he wants to be Mr. Cheng. Could it be... ..." She suddenly seemed to think of something terrible, and her expression instantly became terrified.

"Second Aunt, what's the matter with you?" Pippi walked in.

The second sister said in a panic: "Go, go to him, help me watch him, watch your seventh uncle! I want to know, does he already know where A Yuan is, go quickly!"

Pippi reacted: "Hey, Second Aunt, don't worry, I'll go, I'll go right away."

The second sister yelled hoarsely: "Go! A Yuan is the last hope of our Cheng family, he must be fine, he must be fine!"

Pippi walked to the door.The second sister suddenly calmed down and shouted: "Wait a minute!" Pippi stopped and turned around, looking at the second sister puzzled.The second sister gradually calmed down from her grief and anger, her eyes became dark and firm, and she said softly: "Pippi, sit down, the second aunt has something to tell you..."

Li Kejin sat at the entrance of the bar for a while, squeezed hard to Wu Yue's side, and said loudly: "There are so many people here."

Wu Yue was looking at Cheng Yuan on the stage with emotion, when she was startled suddenly, she hastily wiped away the tears on her face, turned around and saw that it was Li Kejin, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll protect you."

Wu Yue said depressedly: "Here it is again. I don't need your protection, thank you!"

At this time, Cheng Yuan finished the greetings with the band on the same stage, stepped back from the stage, was very surprised to see Li Kejin, he nodded and greeted Li Kejin: "Are you here?"

Li Kejin said provocatively: "This is a public place, of course I can come."

"Welcome! You can be a witness for what I just said." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

Li Kejin gritted his teeth and leaned closer to Cheng Yuan, and said in a low voice, "You've made Wu Yue miserable, how dare you say that kind of thing just now!"

"It was I who harmed her. I plan to use the days to come to pay back, is that okay?"

"Can you do it? I don't believe it at all!"

Cheng Yuan stopped entangled with Li Kejin, glanced at Wu Yue next to him, raised the wine bottle on the table to Li Kejin, and said provocatively, "Can you drink it? Would you like some?"

Li Kejin picked up the bottle without hesitation and said, "Come on, isn't it just drinking! I can drink well."

Cheng Yuan and Li Kejin seemed to be in a tense posture, Wu Yue stopped between them and said: "Okay, then you two drink slowly, I'm tired, I'm going home first."

Li Kejin rushed to say: "Then I will see you off."

"See you tomorrow?" Cheng Yuan stared at Wu Yue and said.

Wu Yue didn't answer Cheng Yuan, turned around and walked out of the bar with Li Kejin.Li Kejin turned his head and glared at Cheng Yuan, showing some complacency.

Cheng Yuan stared at Wu Yue's back with a complicated expression.

Wu Yue walked out of the bar, Li Kejin followed closely and shouted: "Wu Yue, wait for me!"

Wu Yue said angrily: "Li Kejin, let me tell you, I have nothing to do with you or Cheng Yuan now, you'd better stay away from me."

Li Kejin said shamelessly, "As long as you are still in Beijing, we will be the closest and I will be able to protect you."

"Li Kejin, I don't understand why you suddenly became a flower protector. It turns out that you are not like this." Wu Yue said mockingly.

"So what am I like?" Li Kejin chased after him and asked.

"It turns out... forget it, don't mention it, it's really over between us."

Li Kejin said sadly: "Wu Yue, maybe you want to forget the past, but I can't! In fact, I knew you were in love with Cheng Yuan from the time you ran back to testify to Cheng Yuan at the Malay airport. I thought he would give You bring happiness, but I really didn't expect you to return to Beijing and become what you are now."

"What's wrong with me now?" Wu Yue had a strange expression.

"Wu Yue, anyway, I cherish the days we are together. I want to get back together with you now, I really don't have any more thoughts, I just think you need me and need my protection! This, you I'll understand later."

Wu Yue flatly refused: "No, there is no future between us."

"I have given up that property, isn't that enough to express my determination?" Li Kejin persisted.

"But have you ever thought that those things don't belong to you in the first place! When you accepted it, it broke my heart! I admit that you are making amends, but feelings cannot be remedied! You messed up things yourself, do you understand?"

Li Kejin was speechless.

Wu Yue beckoned to get into the taxi, Li Kejin still stood there frustrated.

A black luxury car parked in front of Seventh Uncle's villa, and the second sister in black got out of the car.Two security guards came forward and wanted to search the second sister, but the second sister forced them back with stern gestures and gazes.The security guard stepped aside, discussed in a low voice for a while, and then yelled a few words into the walkie-talkie.After a while, a female security guard came out and searched the second sister carefully from top to bottom. The second sister calmly opened her handbag and pockets and let the female security check.

The security had just finished searching the second sister, and Uncle Qi arrived just in time with a cane. He pointed the cane on the ground and reprimanded the security: "You are so cowardly, who told you to do something to the second lady? Get out of here!" Turning around and bowing to the second sister again and again, "I'm really sorry. The old man greeted you a step late, and you were wronged."

The second sister looked at Qi Shu's affectation with cold eyes, and said flatly: "It's okay, follow the rules."

Uncle Qi led the second sister to go inside, and said to the second sister as he walked: "Since the accident last time, the company has implemented new security regulations. These are newly recruited security guards. Sensible, it's really a headache."

"It's always right to be careful." The second sister continued, "I would like to invite you to the island for a meal. Knowing that you are busy now, I decided to come to your place to make some special dishes."

Uncle Qi was a little surprised by what the second sister did, but he still smiled and said, "I have all the materials you want here."

"At first I wanted to bring it here by myself, but after thinking about it, it was still troublesome, so I simply opened a list, and I trouble you to prepare it here."

"You have been doing things independently since you were a child, and now you have to be unconventional when you invite the old man to dinner. I'm just a little puzzled. In this way, whoever invites whom to dinner, haha."

"Look at how relaxed I am. I don't need to bring anything, except for cooking clothes."

Uncle Qi said approvingly: "Change clothes before cooking, it really looks like a generation of famous chefs. Does the old man need to burn incense and take a bath for this meal? Haha."

"Actually, I have another purpose for coming this time." The second sister stopped and looked around.

Uncle Qi waved his hands to let his subordinates back out: "Can we talk now? I'm all ears."

"I have come to plead with you."

"What do you want?"

"I want Ah Yuan to come back."

Uncle Qi said generously: "If Mr. Cheng gets tired of playing outside one day and decides to come back, I will personally go to the airport to pick him up."

"I didn't let him come back, I feared for his safety."

Uncle Seven pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

The second sister stared at the seventh uncle and said, "I hope you can keep him safe."

Uncle Qi remained calm and said deeply, "I don't quite understand what you said."

"I understand in my heart that A Yuan is ignorant and has offended too many people. If you don't come forward, it will be unfair. I only have such a younger brother..." The second sister burst into tears, "Tomorrow is A Yuan's birthday, and he is wandering outside alone , My sister can't give him a good birthday."

Uncle Qi handed the tissue to the second sister and said: "Mr. Cheng and I may have some misunderstandings, but there is nothing unresolved. After all, I watched Mr. Cheng grow up, and he is still a child in my eyes. How can I Will it embarrass him?"

The second sister smiled through tears, "I'm relieved with your words. Then I'll go to the back kitchen to see. You can do your own thing first, and the meal will be served in three hours."

Uncle Qi showed a smug expression on his face, and said happily: "Today is a good day, we should celebrate it well."

The second sister changed into plain white clothes and stood in front of the stove in the kitchen. The soup pot on the stove was steaming.She took out a napkin from her pocket, wiped the spoon carefully, then put the spoon into the soup pot, stirred it a few times, with a satisfied look on her face.

Three hours later, the second sister prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes.She changed back to the pure black clothes when she came back, sat opposite Uncle Qi, served soup and wine for Uncle Qi, and said modestly: "I haven't cooked much recently, my hands are badly raw, and I don't know how it tastes." Sample."

Seventh Uncle picked up the chopsticks, but did not pick up any food, and praised: "Every dish looks so delicious, I don't know which one to eat." His cunning expression was seen by the second sister.

The second sister said: "It's all based on old experience. I haven't tasted it myself after I'm done. Let me taste it first. If it doesn't taste good, don't move your chopsticks, lest you make a joke." She picked up the chopsticks, I took a sip of each dish, and then said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't show much timidity." He picked up the soup bowl and took a big sip, "I'll try the heat of this soup again."

Uncle Qi watched the second sister drink the whole bowl of soup with his own eyes. He also picked up the soup bowl, squinted his eyes and said, "When the heat is up, the soup will be delicious."

The second sister watched Uncle Qi drink the soup one mouthful at a time, with a smile on her face all the time.

Uncle Qi wiped his mouth with a napkin, raised his glass with satisfaction, and boasted: "This taste should only be found in the sky. I am really blessed. I want to toast the second lady with a glass of wine."

The second sister didn't raise the cup, but raised her wrist to look at the time, and said softly, "Ah Yuan should already be on his way back by this time tomorrow."

Uncle Qi was stunned for a moment: "Did he tell you?"

The second sister said coldly: "He didn't tell me, but I know he will definitely come back."

"Why did Mr. Cheng rush back?"

"Because I wrote him a letter asking him to come back and collect the body for me."

Uncle Qi's face suddenly became ugly, staring at the dishes on the table, he realized something.

The second sister said sarcastically: "You can eat more vegetables, there is no poison in the vegetables."

Seventh Uncle's face became more and more ugly.

The second sister took out the snow-white napkin, shook it at Uncle Seven, and said, "The poison is in the soup. Just now we each shared half."

Uncle Qi stood up abruptly.

The second sister quickly comforted her and said, "Don't get excited, the more intense your actions, the faster the onset of toxicity."

Although Uncle Qi forced himself to be calm, he still couldn't hide his panic: "What do you want? If Mr. Cheng wants to come back, I will absolutely guarantee his safety."

The second sister said coldly: "If you are still here, why is A Yuan coming back?"

Uncle Qi hurriedly said: "I will never become an obstacle for Mr. Cheng, I assure you."
