Looking at Han Yao with a happy face, Han Tong finally felt relieved, but when he thought about himself, a burst of sadness surged deep in his heart.
"It's almost time, it's time to go out."
Zhou Lan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a smile on her face.
"Let's go, the guests are waiting."
Mr. Zhou stood up and waved to Lu Shanmin, "My feet are numb, give me a hand."
Han Yao originally wanted to help him, but suddenly understood something, smiled knowingly at Lu Shanmin, and walked out first.
No one else came forward, and they all walked out first. Lu Shanmin had to admire these wealthy families. It would be normal if there were only one or two smart people, but it would be unusual for everyone to be smart.
Lu Shanmin walked at the end, supporting Mr. Zhou. He had a very good impression of the old man, who was kind, gentle, kind, and full of wisdom.
Mr. Zhou said as he walked: "Mountain people, if there is anything I did wrong, please be more considerate."
Lu Shanmin didn't expect Mr. Zhou to say such words when he opened his mouth, so he quickly said: "Old man, where did you start talking about this?"
Mr. Zhou smiled, and the expression on his face became relaxed, "There is really no way, a family like ours is too complicated, so I had to investigate you in advance."
Lu Shanmin said: "If it's because of this, you don't have to worry about it, I can understand it."
Mr. Zhou laughed and asked, "Can you really understand?"
Lu Shanmin nodded, "The status of the Zhou and Han families is too special. Even if they can be upright and not afraid of being distorted, there will inevitably be people who use the banner of the two families to pretend to be powerful. Of course, such an important matter as choosing a son-in-law cannot be taken carelessly."
.
Mr. Zhou smiled happily and said: "I can't choose, you were chosen by Yaoyao, that's enough. To tell you the truth, if it was Han Xiaozhou who chose you, I might really interfere."
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, since you have investigated me, you should know that my engagement with Yaoyao has transactional elements, don't you care?"
Mr. Zhou smiled and said: "Didn't I just say that as long as Yaoyao chooses it, that's enough. I don't care about the rest."
Lu Shanmin could feel Mr. Zhou's love for Han Yao, and couldn't help but feel shameless again.
"Old man, to be honest, if my daughter encountered such a situation, I would try my best to stop it."
Mr. Zhou nodded, "Who says it's not the case, but I'm very happy that you can say that. It shows that you are a person with conscience and a responsible person."
Lu Shanmin shook his head and said, "Old man, you just met me for the first time today, do you believe me so much?"
Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "It's not that I rely on my old age to show off my skills. I never miss anyone with my eyes. Besides, your information is still on my desk. I stayed up several nights and studied it over and over again. I don't dare to do the rest.
"But I am sure of one thing, you are a very good young man."
Mr. Zhou paused as he spoke, "The only bad thing is that you live too rigidly and not unrestrainedly, which will make you very tired."
Lu Shanmin looked at Mr. Zhou gratefully. He did not expect that the old man could understand him so deeply like a friend for many years with just some information.
"thank you".
Mr. Zhou patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "Although you try your best to calm yourself down, I can still see that your heart has never been peaceful, especially
Especially when you look at Yaoyao, there is always a hint of remorse and guilt in your eyes."
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said: "Yao Yao is a very good girl. She should have had sweet love and a happy marriage. I am sorry for her."
Mr. Zhou shook his head, "Since you know Yaoyao is a good girl, then you should love her well. And you have not sorry for her, all this is her own choice. How can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish?
"It's just your idea that she is wronged, but is that really the case?" Yaoyao looks at you with eyes full of love, and her face is always filled with happiness. In fact, she is not wronged at all. At this moment
, she is happy and joyful”.
"But," Lu Shanmin just started, Mr. Zhou raised his hand to interrupt him, "I know that you are engaged to Yaoyao with a purpose. That is not important. What is important is that I hope that you can achieve your purpose at the same time.
, I can also think about Yaoyao, that’s enough.”
Lu Shanmin nodded gratefully, "Old man, I understand."
Mr. Zhou chuckled and said, "I call you old man and grandpa."
Lu Shanmin smiled lightly and said, "Grandpa."

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, the flashes of the cameras flashed and the sound of clicking was heard endlessly. A group of reporters held up their long guns and short cannons and crazily squeezed in. If it hadn't been for the two dozen strong bodyguards on both sides of the passage, they would have been blocked.
I'm afraid I could even shove the camera into someone's face.
Lu Shanmin and Han Yao held hands and walked slowly towards the hall. In his peripheral vision, he saw a familiar figure mixing in the crowd of reporters.
Turning his head, he saw a woman looking at him with a pair of hateful eyes. Although he hadn't seen her for many years, he still remembered this girl with a cheerful personality. When Yaqian celebrated her eighteenth birthday at the Midnight Grill, this girl was present.
, that was also the first time I saw her.
He still remembered her name, Guan Yue, Zeng Yaqian's classmate and roommate at the Finance College, and Zeng Yaqian's later secretary.
"Lu Shanmin, you bastard, a heartless man." Guan Yue cursed angrily, and at the same time took out two eggs from his bag and was about to smash them at him.
One of the security guards had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before Guan Yue threw the egg, he grabbed Guan Yue's hand and pulled her out to the peripheral passage.
Lu Shanmin looked at Guan Yue, who was struggling but still yelling, with mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to stop the security guard, but in the end he didn't speak.
Han Yao looked at Guan Yue and Lu Shanmin in surprise, but said nothing.
Lu Shanmin turned around, with an obvious look of pain on his face. "Her name is Guan Yue, Yaqian's college classmate."
Han Yao's heart tightened, and she looked at Lu Shanren with a pair of light blue eyes, "Mountain people, you...".
Lu Shanmin shook Han Yao's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Two doormen in uniforms pushed open the hall door, and a straight passage covered with red carpets led directly to the platform a hundred meters away. As soon as they walked into the door, countless flower petals gathered from the sky and fell from the sky.
The two walked arm in arm on the bright red carpet, with many guests on both sides.
Lu Shanmin scanned them one by one with his peripheral vision. They were all celebrities from Tianjing's political and business circles. Although most of them had never met, many of them were big shots who often appeared in the media. As Lu Shanmin walked, he secretly remembered these people.
Many of them are on the list given to him by Han Xiaozhou. Among these people, many of them will be the candidates for his life-and-death battle with the shadow.
of chips.
In addition to these people, Lu Shanmin also saw many familiar faces, Tao Ranzhi, He Zhang, Wei Wuxian, Zhao Qiming, Luo Tingyu, Lu Hanqing from the Lu family, Wu Zheng from the Wu family, Tian Heng from the Tian family, and those with
Dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.
Under the stage, Hai Dongqing sat silently, her eyes covered by sunglasses, and her expression could not be seen, but the hands under the table had already torn the tablecloth into pieces.
Tian Heng wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. He just couldn't believe that such a strong and domineering woman was just like ordinary women on the inside.
Suddenly, he felt pitiful for Hai Dongqing and also felt pitiful for Lu Shanmin.
Of course, he himself is quite pitiful. They are all a group of people who cannot let go of everything and live for themselves.
Looking around, seeing all the rich and noble people in the hall, he came up with an idea that he thought was ridiculous, and everyone present was pitiful.
An engagement ceremony should have been full of warmth and happiness, but the people on the stage were just acting. Everyone in the audience had their own secrets and purposes, but none of them came with sincere blessings.
Tian Heng smiled to himself. It was indeed ridiculous. Such a grand engagement ceremony was not as sincere and pure as an ordinary person setting up a flowing banquet.
"Can I sit here?" Just as Tian Heng was thinking wildly, a rough voice sounded.
Wu Zheng sat carelessly on the empty seat, looking at Hai Dongqing with one eye and a smile.
"You're here too"?
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "I heard that you and Lu Shanmin had a falling out. I didn't expect you to come to his engagement party."
Tian Heng said coldly: "Wu Zheng, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak."
Wu Zheng glanced at Tian Heng and said, "Hey, it turns out that the master of the Tian family is here too."
Tian Heng said coldly: "Wu Zheng, you are destined to have a bad end."
Wu Zheng chuckled and said, "You are quite angry."
Tian Heng snorted coldly and said nothing. The four major families were originally on the same side, but since Wu Zheng took over the Wu family, their relationship with Shadow has become unclear and their positions have wavered. He has long been angry.
Wu Zheng looked at Lu Shanmin and Han Yao who were walking on the red carpet, and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, the Shanmin brothers are really handsome in these outfits."
It's a pity that he, along with the entire Hai family, paid the wrong amount after all."
Tian Heng frowned and looked at Hai Dongqing nervously, fearing that Hai Dongqing would suddenly become violent. Based on his understanding of Hai Dongqing, there was nothing in this world that she would not dare to do.
"Ignore her, he is deliberately trying to provoke you to take action."
Hai Dongqing remained silent. In fact, she didn't hear the two of them talking at all.
At this moment, she was in an indescribable state. For so many years, she had never been passionate about any man.
In other words, she doesn’t know what it’s like to be in love or what state it’s in.
In the past year or two, she knew that she had some feelings for Lu Shanmin that she didn't want to face, but she always thought that these feelings were controllable. Especially since she had never had any hostility towards Zeng Yaqian, she always thought that
, my feelings for Lu Shanmin have not risen to the level of so-called love.
But today, she realized that maybe she was wrong, because she felt heartache truly and deeply, a pain that was so painful that she couldn't breathe, so much so that she didn't even know what the people next to her were saying.
