The sea breeze blew, raising the flag with the Pearl Island logo on the cruise ship high.
Bai Ziling stood on the side of the ship and said "Yeah" to the other end of the phone, "I understand." After hanging up the phone, he looked into the distance with his deep eyes, a hint of a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said
He muttered silently: "peachblossom." Soon, he stood at the door of this water bar. He raised his head and looked at the unique decoration, then lowered his eyelids and glanced at the wooden slogan hanging on the door. He looked interested.
He walked in with a lively look.
The quiet little shop has a unique flavor even before it reaches its busiest time.
"Boss, do you have time to talk?"
Hearing this extremely magnetic male voice, the female shopkeeper raised her head, looked at the other person, and said somewhat funny: "What's going on recently? Could it be that the sign I hung on the door was regarded as air?"
?" There was no complaint in these words, but rather a bit of ridicule.
"Such a biased slogan can certainly be ignored, right? Since men and women are equal, as a store manager, you shouldn't reject male customers. And from what you said, I don't seem to be the first one." Bai Ziling shrugged
shrugged.
The female store manager smiled, handed a cup of black tea to Bai Ziling, and said, "It seems that boys are more sentimental recently."
"Really? Then I guess I will be an accident for you." Bai Ziling said confidently.
The female store manager showed a look of confusion. If it wasn't to solve problems, why did she come here? In fact, she was working with her head down just now. Otherwise, it is not difficult to see that from the moment Bai Ziling walked in, there was no sign of seeking solutions, and she acted extremely relaxed.
Then the purpose of his coming is even more confusing.
"If I'm really worried at all, it's probably because my family has decided on their own to arrange a marriage." Bai Ziling said, fiddling with the cup on the table.
"What?" The female store manager looked surprised for some reason. "Could it be that you also fled to Pearl Island because of the marriage arranged by your family? Otherwise, how could there be people who are worried about such a marriage?
Are you thinking of going to Pearl Island for a vacation? You must not be here for a vacation, right?"
Bai Ziling raised his eyebrows slightly, but instead of answering her question directly, he said, "It sounds like you did it for this reason."
The female shop owner also imitated Bai Ziling's way of saying things, and said, "If you want to be happy for a lifetime, of course you have to make your own decisions about your marriage. I never believe in the right person, or the orders of my parents, in my life circle."
There are too many examples of such family failure."
"It seems that I have found the right person." Bai Ziling said with satisfaction. Seeing the female shop owner's somewhat confused look, he continued: "Although after hearing the news about you running away from marriage, I know that you don't approve of this marriage either.
, but I didn’t expect that our ideas would be so consistent. If that were the case, I think we could save a lot of trouble. Moreover, two people who are too similar may be more compatible as friends than as husband and wife.
What do you think, Miss Lu?"
The female shopkeeper's back stiffened and she stared at the person in front of her for a long time before she managed to say a word.
"You...are you Bai Ziling, the eldest young master of the Bai family?"
"Did you scare Miss Lu again this time?" Bai Ziling showed a sly and victorious smile. He bowed to Lu Xueyan again and said, "For the trouble caused to Miss Lu by the elders' rash engagement,
, I am very sorry. Because I have been in the UK before, and it was my mother who accidentally revealed this situation on the phone, otherwise I would not let this happen. I have made it clear to my mother that I will not embarrass Ms. Lu.
I also hope that Miss Lu will not just escape, but can clarify this matter with Uncle and Aunt Lu, so as not to cause a bigger misunderstanding, what do you think?"
"It seems that you have already planned it. In this case, wouldn't it be better if I just rely on you?" Lu Xueyan smiled slightly, her bright eyes sparkling.
Bai Ziling was stunned for a moment, seemingly not guessing Lu Xueyan's little plan.
Lu Xueyan raised her wrist, looked at her watch, and murmured, "It's probably almost time."
As soon as he finished speaking, four tall and thick men walked in, bowed deeply towards the bar, and called: "Miss."
Bai Ziling looked deeply, as if he already had an idea.
At this moment, a beautiful cloud of airplanes was passing over Mingzhu Island.
Cui Huaijin had been waiting at the airport for a long time. When he heard the plane landed, he quickly searched anxiously among the crowd at the exit. However, the person with bodyguards to clear the way soon appeared in his sight. Cui Huaijin smiled slightly, adjusted his mood and went to meet him.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, I have seen you for a long time."
Although the coldest season has passed, the lady is still wearing warm mink fur. Under the warm spring light of Pearl Island, the soft fur has a bright luster. This mixed-race woman is half French.
She smiled at Cui Huaijin with her fair and unpainted face and said, "You are the eldest lady of the Cui family, right? This girl looks very much like her mother. They are both beauties." Although she could clearly see her thin face.
, but couldn’t clearly see her true emotions and anger. Perhaps, she had been in this shopping mall industry for too long and was used to the mask of hypocrisy.
"Mrs. Lu, you're too polite. I often see you appearing in famous magazines, and they say you are a famous beauty in the retail industry. We, the younger generation, can't even match your charm." Cui Huaijin praised.
The conversation made Mrs. Lu very happy. She held her husband's arm and said with a smile: "This girl has such a sweet mouth. If I have a son, I will definitely ask you to be my daughter-in-law."
"If Mrs. Lu doesn't dislike it, she can naturally treat Huaijin as her own daughter." Cui Huaijin said with a smile. Then she looked around again and asked doubtfully: "Didn't Miss Lu come with us this time? Come to think of it.
, Miss Lu is one year younger than me, and I heard she is a very smart girl."
"What aura, it's just willful nonsense." Although Mrs. Lu said this, her face couldn't help but be filled with a happy and doting smile, but there was a touch of melancholy between her eyebrows. Without the hypocritical look at the beginning, it was also
We can indeed see some of Mrs. Lu's beauty when she was young. "No, I don't know where she went crazy recently."
"It's not all spoiled by you." Mr. Lu said angrily.
"Hey, who gave her a lot of bank cards so that she can run around? Now it's my fault?" Mrs. Lu retorted sharply.
"If it weren't for tracking the bank card information, would you know where she is now?" Mr. Lu said unceremoniously. Mrs. Lu originally wanted to say something, but Mr. Lu stabbed her impatiently and whispered.
: "Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders."
Mrs. Lu was suffocated and, out of concern for her face, did not say any more.
Cui Huaijin saw the embarrassment and did not point it out. He said respectfully: "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu is tired from the journey. I have prepared a place to stay. Please get in the car."
In order to pick up the Lu family and his wife, Cui Huaijin specially transferred two Audis, but instead of going to an ordinary hotel, he went to a seaside resort. After all, it is the second largest consortium in the world, so he did not dare to neglect it. The resort is close to the sea, so you can sit
Watching the sun rise and the tide rise is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Since Mingzhu Island is famous for its scenery, of course it must be shown in its best condition.
"If Mr. and Mrs. Lu need anything, you can just ask the servants to do it. Just treat this place as your home. I hope you will support me during the Cherry Blossom Festival in a few days." After saying that, Cui Huaijin handed over
Got the invitation.
After chatting for a while and confirming the matter, Cui Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief and left.
At this time, Mrs. Lu took out her phone, dialed the number, and gave her address. Not long after, four bodyguards in black helped Lu Xueyan out of the sightseeing car, followed by Bai Ziling. When they entered the house,
Mrs. Lu was opening her mouth to teach her daughter a lesson, when she looked up and saw the boy behind her.
"Xueyan...eh?"
Bai Ziling bowed politely, "Uncle, aunt."
"You are..." Mrs. Lu frowned. Judging from the elegant manners of this child, he can be considered well-educated, but why did he come back with Xue Yan?
"It's good for you. You don't even know anyone, so you are busy getting me engaged. Even if you push me into a pit of fire, you are ready to let go, right?" Lu Xueyan said with dissatisfaction.
"You kid, how can you talk?" Mrs. Lu scolded her, but she carefully looked at the boy in front of her.
"You must be Mr. Bai Ziling, right?" Mr. Lu was the first to react. In terms of appearance, Bai Ziling did inherit some of his mother's characteristics. She is delicate and fair, with a special and unpredictable temperament.
"It's not him!" Lu Xueyan pouted and said.
The Lu family and his wife looked a little surprised - this Bai Ziling shouldn't be here anyway?
"It is a bit rude to visit without permission, but for the sake of the future relationship between the Bai and Lu families, I first approached Miss Lu, hoping that the problem can be solved smoothly without affecting the good relations between the Bai and Lu families." Bai Ziling said politely.
"Ah, this, regarding the meeting between Xueyan and Master Bai that was originally arranged some time ago, it was not possible because of my daughter's willfulness. I also asked Master Bai..." Mr. Lu explained awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.
Saying that your daughter "escaped from marriage" in front of others is equivalent to a slap in the face?
"This matter is not Miss Lu's fault. The two elders intend to form a good relationship with Qin and Jin out of love and care for the younger generation. Both the younger generation and Miss Lu are very grateful to the elders for their intentions. However, the younger generation and Miss Lu
Everyone has their own place in their hearts. After all, marriage cannot be forced, so please elders understand." Bai Ziling nodded slightly to show respect.
The Lu family and his wife were even more stunned. Even Lu Xueyan looked up and stared at Bai Ziling in astonishment. Why did he involve himself? I heard that he had no intention of getting married just now. I originally wanted to rely on him, but I didn't expect this guy to be so treacherous!
Bai Ziling lowered his head and showed a sly smile. It is not so easy to make him willing to be the scapegoat. Besides, wouldn't it be easier to solve this matter using two people's hearts as chips? Moreover, the Lu family knew that they were in the wrong.
In the first place, he would definitely not embarrass him. Bai Ziling had already determined the chance of winning, so he smiled with a calm expression. His target was not Miss Lu, and unknowingly, he thought of that confused fool.
