Zhou Bowen couldn't help laughing, then stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and breathed softly into her ear: "It's too late to leave now."
Before Xiangcheng could react, someone came over and said, "The young master is back. He is waiting for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi." Zhou Bowen nodded to the butler who came over, and then walked inside with Xiang Cheng in his arms.
Xiangcheng's heart was agitated. She had never thought about meeting the Zhou family's parents so soon. If she had known it was their family banquet, she would never have come. But now, it seems a bit late.
It was too late to leave, so I had to bite the bullet and follow in.
"Xiao Wen, why are you here? Grandpa is waiting for you." As soon as he walked to the gate, a woman dressed in jewels came over. However, when she saw the orange next to Zhou Bowen, she looked slightly confused.
A little stiff, "This is..."
"Mommy." Zhou Bowen let go of Xiang Cheng, hugged the visitor, and then took Xiang Cheng's hand, "This is my mommy, Mommy, this is Xiang Cheng."
"Hello, Auntie." Xiangcheng hurriedly bent down to say hello, but from the look in her eyes, she knew that she was not welcome.
"Yeah." Fei Yunxi almost snorted with her nose raised, "Where is Miss Xiang's job?"
"She writes books and is very talented." Zhou Bowen answered first, "A book has just been published..."
"What do you do at home?" Fei Yunxi didn't seem to pay any attention to the orange of unknown origin. She knew that almost all the ladies from famous families knew about it.
"I..." Xiangcheng was about to speak, but was interrupted. A beautiful woman with big brown curly hair and a hot body ran out of the room.
"Aunt Yun, is Brother Bowen back?" Before Fei Yunxi could say anything, he rushed towards Zhou Bowen, then kissed him on the face with a bang, and took the opportunity to give the orange to him in one fell swoop.
He squeezed away and said, "Brother Bowen, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss me?"
"Shirley is here." Zhou Bowen smiled faintly and tried to pull his arm out, but the woman's hug was too tight and he failed for a while. He had to glance at the orange next to him awkwardly.
"We went in." Fei Yunxi seemed very satisfied with the result, "Shirley has been waiting for you for a long time." After saying that, she pulled her son into the house, as if the orange didn't exist at all.
I don't know why, although Xiangcheng felt uncomfortable, she was not sad. Instead, she smiled at him comfortingly. Maybe such a beauty is suitable to stand next to her senior.
Originally she wanted to leave, but she felt bad about it. However, she didn't want to enter the house very much, so she strolled into the yard. On one side was a grassy field with a grape trellis and a grape trellis under the trellis.
The double hanging chair is swaying gently.
Xiangcheng sat on it, looking at the extravagance in the hall not far away. She felt a little sad for no reason, thinking of the suffering she had suffered over the years, thinking of being away from home all these years... her eyes began to feel wet.
, but then he laughed again, what’s the point of suffering all this? God is always fair, so what if there is no man? Didn’t he give her three top-quality babies? Thinking of the children, Xiangcheng felt sad.
She lost her son, and her heart was full of hope. She understood her senior's intentions, but I was afraid that his family would not accept her, let alone her children, so she could only let him down.
At this moment, another car stopped at the gate of the yard, and then someone walked in from the gate. Xiangcheng raised his head inadvertently and was stunned. How could she forget that he would definitely be invited to such an upper-class party?
Woolen cloth?
It had been seven years. When she came back, she thought about meeting him again, and she knew that he might have forgotten her a long time ago, so she could treat him with a normal heart. However, she didn't expect that when she saw him again, her heart would change.
He was jumping so hard, but when he saw the woman hugging him next to him, he was still accompanied by the slightest bit of labor pain.
Xiangcheng smiled bitterly. The women around him were always outstanding. She should be his fiancée, the mayor's daughter, right? She was so beautiful and noble that she felt inferior to her unconsciously.
Fortunately, the light where she sat was very dark, and she was blocked by the grape trellis, so she could see clearly outside. However, people outside could not see her, which made Xiangcheng's heart relax slightly.
Chu Feiyang originally didn't like such gatherings very much. It was tiring to watch everyone make excuses together, especially the Chu family and the Zhou family. Although his father, Chu Shaobo, and Zhou Bowen's grandfather, Zhou Zitao, were familiar with each other,
Nowadays, companies have been handed over to the next generation, but Chu Feiyang and Zhou Bowen don't have much overlap.
In fact, Chu Feiyang just refused to admit it. He knew that Xiangcheng had a crush on Zhou Bowen in school, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he deliberately kept a distance from Zhou.
Originally, Chu Shaobo was supposed to come to this party, but a while ago, Chu Feiyue secretly and illegally misappropriated tens of millions of the company's funds, and quickly squandered them all. The old man fell ill in anger, and at this time, he was recuperating in the United States.
.
However, the reason why he came to tonight's banquet was all because of Arrogant Baby. Just at noon today, when he was hesitating whether to come, he received an email from Arrogant Baby. The content was very simple: Tonight's banquet
There will be unexpected surprises at the party.
Although Chu Feiyang didn't think there would be any real surprises, everyone was curious, so he came.
As soon as he got off the car, someone came over and led the way diligently. Just when he passed the front yard, Chu Feiyang suddenly stopped. For some reason, he felt a familiar gaze, but the surrounding light was very dark.
It made it impossible for him to find the specific location at once.
Xiangcheng saw Chu Feiyang standing not far from her, and was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. Young Master Chu was Young Master Chu. He could feel it just by looking at him. He was really not a human being!
Feeling that the gaze disappeared, Chu Feiyang's heart felt empty for no reason.
"Yang, what's wrong?" Yang Yue followed his gaze without knowing why, and only saw a grape trellis.
"Nothing." Chu Feiyang came back to his senses, "The grapes here grow well." Maybe he should walk over and take a look.
But at this moment, Zhou Qiming and Fei Yunxi came out to greet them, and Chu Feiyang had to give up the idea. The two exchanged a few polite words and then walked towards the venue, but they still subconsciously glanced back.
Xiangcheng felt that she really should go, otherwise, if she really faced Chu Feiyang later, it would probably be very embarrassing, and she also realized that she would never be able to face that man calmly, so no matter what
She couldn't even meet him. In fact, she should have thought that he would definitely be invited to such a gathering. She should not have agreed to the senior's offer in the first place.
When Zhou Bowen saw that Xiangcheng didn't follow him in, he knew that something bad might have happened. His mother's attitude might have hurt her... He finally got rid of Songzhu Shirley's entanglement, but when he came out, no one was there, and he couldn't help but feel
in a hurry.
At this moment, he saw Chu Feiyang walking over and had to go over to say hello. However, when he looked up, he saw Xiang Cheng walking out in a hurry. He didn't care much anymore, left Chu Feiyang and chased after him.
Chu Feiyang's brows wrinkled, but he still looked back. Just such a casual glance made him tremble in his heart. How could that figure be so familiar?
"Auntie, Mr. Zhou has a girlfriend?" Yang Yue looked at Fei Yunxi with a smile, "You have done a good job keeping it secret. I wonder whose daughter she is?"
"What kind of girlfriend?" Fei Yunxi waved her hand disdainfully, "It's just for fun for young people." She would not allow her son to marry an unworthy woman.
"Oh." Yang Yue nodded clearly, "That's right, there are more people who want to fly on the branches now."
"Yes, Mr. Chu is lucky enough to marry Miss Yang..." Fei Yunxi enthusiastically flattered Yang Yue. Politics and business are always inseparable. Yang Jun is now the mayor, so he flatters her.
The point is exactly right.
For some reason, Chu Feiyang couldn't help but frown when he heard these words being very harsh.
Zhou Bowen wanted to introduce Xiangcheng to his family, and then take this opportunity to announce their relationship. However, looking at his mother's attitude, he knew that this matter could not be rushed for the time being, otherwise it would only hurt Xiangcheng.
, Therefore, when Xiangcheng proposed to leave, he did not object, because Chu Feiyang also came, and out of selfishness, he did not want them to meet.
"I'll give it to you."
"No need, senior." Xiangcheng smiled and shook her head, "So many people are waiting for you. It's not too late now, it's only eight o'clock. I can just leave by myself."
"How about that?" Zhou Bowen insisted, "Wait for me at the door and I'll pick up the car."
At this moment, Shirley Matsumoto ran over, glared at Xiang Cheng, and then hugged Zhou Bowen's arm tenderly: "Brother Bowen, grandpa is about to cut the cake, come in quickly." Then he dragged her involuntarily.
He will leave.
Zhou Bowen wanted to get angry, but Fei Yunxi also came over: "Yes, Xiaowen, why are you still lingering here? The old man is waiting for you."
Xiangcheng smiled knowingly: "Senior, go ahead and do your work. I'll just go back by myself."
Zhou Bowen was so miserable that he could only look at Xiang Cheng apologetically, and then he was dragged away by the two women.
Xiangcheng looked at Fei Yunxi and gave herself a warning look as she left. She couldn't help but shake her head in amusement, then turned and walked out of the villa door. She came here too much today.
Although it was only after seven o'clock in the evening, there were no buses in the villa area and there were very few taxis. If she wanted to go back, she could only walk down the mountain and take a taxi.
