Duan Fei originally didn't want to attend tonight's dinner.
The Duan family was defeated and everyone abandoned it. But when he got Ling Yansen as his son-in-law, people came to his door one after another. He was tired of dealing with it, but the real estate industry needed to have good relationships most. With a backer, everything could go smoothly.
At the dinner table, several senior officials were in high spirits. Like Duan Fei, who had not touched a drop of wine, was Inspector Jiang, who had just taken office some time ago. He was nearly thirty years old and was young and promising.
Duan Fei was chatting with him when his secretary Lin Mei knocked on the door and whispered a few words in his ear. Duan Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought that his visit was not in vain. He had long heard that Ling Yansen liked this place. Qing Wu
That girl was really ignorant and didn't tell him in advance so that he could be prepared.
When Duan Fei and his group knocked on the door, Ling Yansen had already received the news in advance. He stood up slowly without much expression on his face. He did not comment on Duan Fei's method of building relationships by being familiar with each other, "Mr. Duan, what a coincidence.
.”
Duan Fei was stunned, "Mr. Ling, it's a coincidence that I didn't know you were in Monet until halfway through the meal. I heard that the boss of Xinyuan is also there..."
The house was very big, and when the moderate movement at the door was heard inside, Qingwu was absent-mindedly answering Chang Lixin's poor question. She held a wine glass in her hand and turned around in surprise. Her father was standing at the door with a gloomy face.
looking at himself.
Just as Qing Wu was about to stand up, Duan Fei quickly averted his eyes, pretending to be a stranger, and raised his glass to Chang Lixin across the huge dining table, "Mr. Chang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Chang Lixin stood up and raised his glass in response, "Mr. Duan, what a coincidence!"
After a while of greetings, Duan Fei saw that Ling Yansen was distracted and not very interested, so he wisely found an excuse to leave the table, and walked out the door but did not go far. He only asked Lin Mei to send a text message to Qing Wu to ask her to come out.
Qingwu looked at her phone, got up and excused herself to go to the bathroom, put on her suit and left the table in a hurry.
Ling Yansen looked at her back, flicking the ashes of his cigarette carelessly, his thin lips slightly raised. The corners of his mouth actually had very nice arcs, but the way he smiled was intimidating, with a hint of sarcasm for no reason.
After leaving the door, through the leisurely fluttering curtains, Qingwu quietly looked at the graying silver hair on the back of her father's head, feeling very complicated.
Because of her mother's relationship, she tried her best to disguise herself as a sensible child to please her father. It was okay to be beaten and abused by her stepmother, and it was okay to be robbed of her favorite toys by her sister. As long as her father gave him a look in his busy schedule, then it would be okay.
It was a great comfort to her. As if this could prove something, as if this could fill something, even though it was very pale, her heart was riddled with holes.
In fact, I have long understood that even if I control the Duan family, it will only be making wedding clothes for others. My younger brother Duan Mingchen will return from studying abroad soon. As the only son of the Duan family, he is the most reasonable candidate to inherit the family business.
In the eyes of her father, she was an insignificant victim in the power game. In order to give his son the best future, he sold his daughter.
This was the mountain she had been looking up to and mistakenly thought she could rely on.
Her heart felt like it was tightened by a steel wire, and the cold fog in her empty eyes was about to accumulate into water splashes. Qingwu quickly raised her head, covering her heart, her pupils dilated, and she was numb with pain that penetrated her bones.
However, Duan Fei had no time to care about her feelings. He turned around and said without much expression on his old face, "Come here."
