Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is Monday.
The designer sent the finished dress to Lu Qingqing.
It was a small white evening dress with a skirt decorated with baby's breath and a total of 108 diamonds, each of which was larger than the diamonds on the diamond ring that Qin Hanyue had originally chosen.
Although Liang Fei is not a poor person, she has never seen such a beautiful dress. She couldn't help but cast an envious look, "Qingqing, this evening dress must cost millions. The Gong family is so bold in doing so!"
However, Lu Haizhou frowned, "Sister, do you really want to get engaged to Gong Xu?"
Gong Xu's reputation is not very good, and Lu Haizhou is really worried that his sister will suffer a loss.
Lu Qingqing looked at the evening dress blankly, but she was thinking about another thing in her mind. Today Huo Chengyi promised her to go to her second uncle's house to get the painting back, but there has been no news yet.
I wonder if it was because I was late, Huo Xian had already given the message to his third uncle?
"Sister, what are you thinking about? If you really don't want to get engaged to Gong Xu, then the worst we can do is leave. I'll book a flight back home now."
Liang Fei rolled her eyes at Lu Haizhou. "Do you think getting engaged is just like playing house? You can make it if you want to, and run away if you don't want to? Your sister will start school soon. She won't be able to go to school, and she won't have the child?"
Lu Haizhou immediately dropped his face when he heard this, "What should we do?"
"Stop arguing, we'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow." Lu Qingqing asked Qianhe to put away the dress and follow her back to the room.
Liang Fei and Lu Haizhou in the living room, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what Lu Qingqing’s plan is for tomorrow’s press conference.
Logically speaking, tomorrow's press conference is so important. Lu Qingqing has no reason to be so calm. On the contrary, they, the bystanders, are more nervous than she is.
Back in the room, Lu Qingqing turned the volume on her phone to the maximum, fearing that she would miss Huo Chengyi's call.
Qianhe put the dress in the cabinet and asked Lu Qingqing what other things he needed to prepare.
Lu Qingqing shook her head and explained that Gong Xu would send someone to do her makeup at eight o'clock in the morning, and then leave for the press conference on time at nine o'clock.
Qianhe didn't ask again. What she was worried about now was that if his wife really announced her engagement to that Gong Xu tomorrow, would Mr. Sheng go crazy?
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lu Qingqing waited for a call from his second brother Huo Chengyi. He said that he had obtained the paintings from his second uncle's house, but the process was a bit thrilling.
It is said that when the lawyer rushed to Huo Xian's house with the court's payment order, the second uncle was about to take the painting out. He said he would go a little later, so he took the painting away and gave it to the third uncle.
As a result, the lawyer took the court's payment order and not only took back the painting from Huo Xian, but also made him pay royalties for nearly twenty years, totaling three to four hundred thousand US dollars.
Lu Qingqing could imagine Huo Xian's expression at that time, it must have been wonderful.
Huo Chengyi said that Huo Xian was so angry that his hands were shaking, and when he handed over the check, the muscles in his face were twitching with anger.
Lu Qingqing smiled slightly. Three hundred million yuan was lost like this, and hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost. It must be more painful than cutting flesh, right?
Qianhe saw Lu Qingqing smiling, and suddenly felt that his wife's smile was so beautiful. It would be nice if she could smile more.
In the evening, an uninvited guest came to the small manor - Sheng Mingxi.
Lu Qingqing and others were eating in the restaurant, and no one saw Sheng Mingxi come in.
In recent days, Qianhe and Fang Zhen have been eating together with Lu Qingqing and the others. Liang Fei and Fang Zhen didn't know each other before, so the whole dinner table was filled with the two of them bickering, which was quite lively.
Qianhe rarely spoke while eating, and Lu Haizhou sat next to her, occasionally picking up food for her and making himself blush.
Lu Qingqing was sitting at the main seat. She felt someone standing at the door of the restaurant. At first she thought it was the servant Lisa, so she didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until Sheng Mingxi saw the people at the table turning a blind eye to him that he couldn't bear it and walked to the dining table, pulled up the stool next to Lu Qingqing and sat down, then everyone saw him.
Qianhe and Fang Zhen immediately put down their chopsticks.
"Hello, Mr. Sheng." Fang Zhen was so frightened by Sheng Mingxi's black face that he didn't dare to eat.
Lu Qingqing had no choice but to give Sheng Mingxi face in front of so many people and asked the servant to give him a pair of bowls and chopsticks immediately.
Sheng Mingxi's expression softened slightly.
Qianhe and Fang Zhen finished eating and left quickly because Sheng Mingxi was there. Seeing this situation, Liang Fei also pulled Lu Haizhou away.
Sheng Mingxi and Lu Qingqing were the only ones left on the dining table.
Lu Qingqing thought that Sheng Mingxi must have something to say to her if he came over at this time, but after waiting for a long time, Sheng Mingxi just ate by himself without even looking at her.
Lu Qingqing ate half of it and put down his chopsticks.
"Why don't you eat?" Sheng Mingxi picked up a shrimp for Lu Qingqing.
"I don't like shrimp." Lu Qingqing said.
"You should add more protein." Sheng Mingxi brought the shrimp over, peeled the shrimp for Lu Qingqing with his own hands, and brought it to her mouth.
Lu Qingqing remembered the scene when Sheng Mingxi fed her shrimp before, and her eyes turned red. She pushed the shrimp away from Sheng Mingxi and asked, "What are you doing here today?"
"If you eat this shrimp, I will tell you."
This time Sheng Mingxi successfully fed the shrimp into Lu Qingqing's mouth.
Sheng Mingxi raised the corners of his lips slightly and told Lu Qingqing the good news that their daughter was out of the incubator today.
"What?" Lu Qingqing was excited, "Didn't you say you have to wait a while?"
"The child is developing very well. The doctor said that all the indicators were normal, so he came out early." Sheng Mingxi thought of holding her daughter for the first time and felt that her whole heart melted.
"Then when can I see my daughter?"
"Tonight or tomorrow, your choice."
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing felt that Sheng Mingxi seemed to have chosen the day to use his daughter as bait to prevent her from attending tomorrow's press conference. It was really insidious.
But I have to say that Sheng Mingxi had a firm grip on her thoughts.
"I choose tonight." If she could, she would fly to her daughter right away.
"As you wish." Sheng Mingxi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, feeling that he should use some means to deal with Lu Qingqing, a stupid woman.
After getting into Sheng Mingxi's car, Lu Qingqing was extremely anxious and kept asking: "Where did you put the child? Is it far from here? How long does it take to get there?"
"Thirty minutes."
"So far?" Lu Qingqing now felt that thirty minutes was really long.
"It's not that far away anymore." Sheng Mingxi stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the speed.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"What are your plans for tomorrow's engagement conference?" Sheng Mingxi thought for a long time and finally asked.
"They threaten me with my third brother, what can I do?"
Sheng Mingxi's eyes tightened, "Is Huo Yifei more important to you than my daughter and I?"
Lu Qingqing's heart trembled slightly.
After a long while, she said: "Without him, my child and I would have died in the sea."
Sheng Mingxi was speechless for Lu Qingqing's answer.
"I'm sorry, I fell into Feng Xinwen's trap that night. I thought I could save you."
"It's all over, don't mention it again." Lu Qingqing thought of that night, like opening an old scar, which made her heartbroken.
At this time, Sheng Mingxi suddenly stepped on the brakes, stopped the car on the side of the road, and reached out to hold Lu Qingqing in his arms.
"Qingqing, I know I was wrong, can you give me another chance?"
