131 Praying Mantis Catchers Cicada and Oriole Behind
The world is really too small, and I met so many "acquaintances" at just such an annual party.
Liang Yixun expressed helplessness at this, and suddenly understood why Bai Fengxia had made such rude and even harsh demands to her before. It turned out that it was really difficult to avoid them.
However, she couldn't pay for other people's mistakes. She had her own life to live, and the only thing she could do was probably just four words - turn a blind eye.
Therefore, from the moment she entered the scene, she deliberately kept a low profile. She did not even go to Zhong Lingtian, but just followed Zheng Hongyang from beginning to end, playing the role of Manager Liang dutifully.
In the first half of the event, for more than an hour, everything went smoothly.
However, during the buffet break, someone she didn't want to pay attention to took the initiative to walk up to her.
"Xiao Xun, can you talk to me for a while?" Shen Xuan came uninvited.
Liang Yixun frowned subconsciously, the answer was obvious.
What else is there to talk about between them? She was too soft-hearted last time, which caused Meng Yimei's misunderstanding, which led to her making a big fuss at the wedding, ruining the wedding, and injuring Zhong Lingtian. She will not make the same mistake again. .
"Sorry, Ling Tian is still waiting for me, I'll go over first." She turned to leave.
Shen Xuan stretched out his hand to stop her and begged, "Just a moment, okay? Ten minutes, no, five minutes is enough!"
Liang Yixun didn't like his entanglement. She lowered her face and scolded, "Shen Xuan, although you have done something wrong, I still think you are a responsible person. You just betrayed our feelings, but for You are responsible for your ideals, your career, and your family, so I have never given you any embarrassment. And about the last wedding, although Meng Yimei messed up everything, you still listened to me after all. You persuaded me to bring the noodles back to her, didn’t you? So I can think that you are really determined to start a new life, right? Then why are you still pestering me today? Don’t let me give you the last bit The good feelings are gone, okay?”
Shen Xuan was silent and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was ashamed, and as if he was suffering and couldn't express his pain.
Liang Yixun didn't want to waste time with him and turned around to leave again.
But Shen Xuan's sudden words made her suddenly stop again, "Xiao Xun, today is my birthday, don't you remember?"
Liang Yixun was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then realized that it was really the case.
The two of them grew up together, and she would remember his birthday every year, but this year she really forgot.
However, it doesn't matter whether she remembers it or not. She can no longer go out of her way to celebrate his birthday like she did before. The only thing she can do now is probably to say, "Happy birthday!"
Shen Xuan smiled bitterly. He couldn't blame her for being stingy, only that he no longer had the qualifications to ask.
"Thank you." He twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, and said as if reminiscing, "Our birthdays are only a few days apart, and your birthday is coming soon, so I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
Liang Yixun sighed slightly, yes, her birthday was coming soon, time passed so fast, in the blink of an eye, she was running around.
When they were young, they all looked forward to birthdays because they could eat more delicious food and give each other gifts on their birthdays. But now, they are no different from strangers.
But no matter what, he still remembered her and expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you!" Thank you for your smile, which once disturbed my life.
However, there are some things that are good to have experienced. Just like some people, it is good to meet them. As for whether we succeed or not, as for whether we are together, it is really not that important. In the end, we will eventually discover that what makes us grow is let What we miss is always the process.
Shen Xuan watched Liang Yixun turn around and leave, feeling infinitely sad in his heart, but unable to change it. Time is changing, and so are people. Life is an out-of-print movie that cannot be played back. Some things, no matter how hard you try, you can't go back. You can't go back. Even if you do go back, you will find that everything has changed beyond recognition. The only thing that can go back is the memory in your heart. The farthest distance in the world is not love or hate, but familiar people. Gradually it becomes unfamiliar.

Liang Yixun took advantage of the break and wanted to go find Zhong Lingtian, but when she saw that he was being dragged by the mayor and had to socialize with waves of celebrities and upstarts, she quietly stopped.
Firstly, she didn't want to cause trouble to him, and secondly, she didn't want to face so many cameras. They had been reported to the police several times since they were together. Although their identity was unavoidable, she still wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible.
Zhong Lingtian also saw her from a distance. He saw her hesitation, so he silently shook his head at her, indicating that she didn't need to come over. He knew that she didn't like to face the camera too much, and he didn't want to either. She was always being judged.
Their eyes met each other, and their eyes met tacitly in the air. Although neither of them said anything, they were in the same mind.
The two looked at each other and smiled, silently.
Liang Yixun turned around silently, returned to the buffet area, and found a corner seat to sit down.
On the stairs on the second floor, Qiao Jiaping secretly observed for a long time. After waiting for about ten minutes, he called a waiter, whispered a few words, and handed the man a dozen bills.
The waiter accepted it happily and walked towards Liang Yixun.
"Mrs. Zhong, right? Mr. Zhong, please go upstairs. Please come with me."
Liang Yixun was a little surprised, but she had no doubts. She believed that Zhong Lingtian was really looking for her, so she followed the waiter upstairs without hesitation.
Qiao Jiaping spotted the opportunity and said to his assistant, "Have the reporters made arrangements?"
"Yes, on call at any time."
Qiao Jiaping nodded and walked towards the pre-arranged room confidently.
However, while the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, not far behind Qiao Jiaping, Qiao Jianan is also watching eagerly.
They are brother and sister, and she knows Qiao Jiaping very well, so she can easily see through his plan, which is nothing more than asking the waiter to trick Liang Yixun into his room. The reporter has also laid an ambush, and he can easily cause an ambiguity between the two. It is an illusion that a man and a woman live alone in the same room. In today's situation, Liang Yixun could not escape even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
She was naturally optimistic about the success of Liang Yixun's reputation, because it would destroy her relationship with Zhong Lingtian, but she did not want Liang Yixun to become her sister-in-law.
So...she has other ideas!
Similarly, she called another waiter, handed over a note she had written casually, and gave a few more instructions.
The waiter took the tip and left quickly.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Liang just asked me to give this to you."
Shen Xuan was drinking depressedly. When he heard the three words "Miss Liang", he suddenly became excited again. He took the note and opened it, but there was no text in it, only a room number.
He was a little surprised, but after all he couldn't resist the desire deep in his heart, and he even harbored fantasies. Is Xiaoxun soft-hearted? After all, today is his birthday!
Perhaps alcohol had paralyzed his shrewdness, or perhaps he was deceiving himself and still holding on to his last illusion, but no matter what, it was impossible for him to refuse such an invitation.
"Thank you!" He tipped the waiter a sum of money and hurried upstairs.
From a distance, Qiao Jianan saw everything and raised the corners of his mouth sinisterly.

The entire second floor was a temporary lounge prepared for guests. Liang Yixun followed the waiter upstairs and came to room 201 on the far left.
"Mrs. Zhong, this is it."
Liang Yixun did not doubt that he was there and nodded politely, "Okay, thank you."
The waiter actually didn't know anything. He just completed his task and then turned around and left.
Liang Yixun thought it was Zhong Lingtian who asked her to come here to talk, so she just knocked on the door lightly and pushed the door open without waiting for a response from inside.
"Ling Tian..."
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the room.
She was slightly startled, where is the person? Why isn't he there?
"Ling Tian? Are you there?" She walked inside again.
At this moment, the door rang again and someone walked in.
"Ling..." Before the word "天" came out of her mouth, she was stunned.
Shen Xuan?
"Xiao Xun! It's really you!" Shen Xuan looked surprised, strode over, and hugged her excitedly, "Xiao Xun, I knew you wouldn't be so cruel! You still have me in your heart, right? "
Shen Xuan's recklessness frightened Liang Yixun, "Shen Xuan, what are you doing? Let me go!"
How could Shen Xuan let go? He was intoxicated with alcohol and excessive self-fantasy, and still held her tightly, "No, I won't let go! Xiaoxun, I will never let you go again! I love you!"
"Chen Xuan! You drank too much!" Liang Yixun pushed him hard, but there was a difference in strength between men and women, and Shen Xuan was now completely in a state of self-indulgence and stubbornly refused to let go.
"No, I didn't drink too much!" Every drunk person will never admit that he is drunk.
Liang Yixun was hugged tightly by Shen Xuan, and it was a little difficult to breathe. The smell of alcohol on his body made her want to vomit, "Chen Xuan! If you have something to say, please let me go first!"
"No! Xiaoxun, please don't reject me anymore, okay? I love you, I really love you!" Shen Xuan expressed his heartfelt feelings.
"That's enough! Let go!" Liang Yixun struggled hard.
"Xiao Xun, I love you, I really can't live without you..." Not only did Shen Xuan refuse to let go, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
