"Congratulations to Miss Chen Hongjuan, you have received the honor you deserve for your good deeds!"
The cardinal led the applause.
"Repent to the Lord and please forgive me!" Chen Hongjuan said anxiously, "I deserve this honor."
"Child, since you can pray like this, it means you are a believer of the Lord!" The cardinal said happily, "The omnipresent Lord must be able to realize that you have a kind and holy heart!"
"Now, as the Cardinal of Notre Dame de Paris, I announce that Miss Chen Hongjuan's name will always be recorded in the charity register of the hospital. If Miss Chen Hongjuan's future wedding is intended to be held in a church in the Notre Dame area,
I am willing to go there in person to express my blessings."
The cardinal's promise, often called an oracle, has always been a symbol of solemnity and majesty.
According to traditional Christian etiquette, Chen Hongjuan must express her supreme respect to the cardinal at this time.
She immediately knelt down, silently took the cardinal's hands, and kissed them several times devoutly.
As soon as the group of cardinals left, Cheney immediately stuck her head out towards Chen Hongjuan's chest, showing her special envy for that badge.
"Da Ling Chen, Mr. Lu spent fifty thousand dollars to buy this badge. It fits your cheongsam just right." Cheney said, "I'm afraid you will never be able to take it off again.
"
Lu Zhichao said disapprovingly: "Qie Ni, you are wrong again. Because, as the bishop said, no matter how much money you donate, it is not enough to express the kindness and holiness of Miss Hongjuan."
He showed the video he just captured to Chen Hongjuan and said happily: "The most important thing is that this badge was personally awarded to Miss Hongjuan by the Cardinal of Notre Dame de Paris. It is worth cherishing forever."
the real reason."
Lu Zhichao then said to Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying: "You two must also agree with my views."
"I don't think so!"
Xiong Jiandong replied with a gloomy expression.
"What do you mean by Mr. A Dong's words?"
Lu Zhichao looked surprised.
"The video taken by Mr. Lu should clearly record the confession that Hongjuan made to the bishop just now." Xiong Jiandong said, "She has made it very clear that she is grateful for this honor.
Well deserved!”
Lu Zhichao was stunned for a moment and asked Chen Hongjuan uncomfortably: "Do you really think so?"
Chen Hongjuan lowered her head and did not answer.
"Mr. Lu's words are a bit cruel. It really makes it difficult for Hongjuan to speak." Xiong Jiandong sneered, "Because in front of the Lord, how can she lie at will?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Hongjuan, Mr. Adong is right, I shouldn't ask you that!"
Lu Zhichao apologized to Chen Hongjuan.
But what made him feel very uncomfortable was that it was not only difficult to distinguish the good and evil intentions of Xiong Jiandong's expression and every word he said, but it also made him embarrassed as if he had been slapped in the face in public.
Hou Yiying clearly saw that Xiong Jiandong was actually deliberately trying to challenge Lu Zhichao's wishful thinking of spending a lot of money just now, mixed with the humiliation inside.
"The food is cold, so don't discuss this issue in a disappointing way." She said happily, "Mr. Lu has provided us with such a noble dining environment, please don't waste this delicious meal!"
Cheney complained to Chen Hongjuan: "Da Ling Chen, you have greatly defeated Mr. Lu's wish today. If I had known that it would end like this, I would have agreed to Mr. Lu and let him save the fifty thousand US dollars.
As a way to help us with travel expenses to inspect China’s national costumes.”
"Don't worry, Chenie," Lu Zhichao seemed to have new energy and smiled happily, "I still keep my previous promise. If you two really go to Yunnan, China, I will bear all the expenses.
And in a place called Tengchong, I have arranged a guide for you in advance."
"Hongjuan, do you plan to return to China to make plans? When will it be?"
Hou Yiying asked.
"Yes." Chen Hongjuan replied, "I have a research project on diversifying designs based on the costumes of ethnic minorities in China, and Cheni is also very interested in this. In Tengchong on the border of Yunnan, it is said that dozens of people gathered there
Different nationalities. As for the specific travel time you asked about, the initial plan is in late May."
Tengchong, Yunnan?
Xiong Jiandong's heart suddenly became heavy, and the sight of Qin Xinru sitting in a wheelchair swayed before his eyes.
Previously, when Xiong Jiandong heard that the cardinal of Notre Dame in Paris linked Chen Hongjuan to holding a church wedding, he was deeply hurt.
Because Xiong Jiandong could not forget that it was exactly half a year ago that Qin Xinru sat in a wheelchair pushed by him and held a wedding in the church with an orthopedic surgeon named Ma Jiyuan.
Qin Xinru followed Ma Jiyuan to his hometown in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, and there has been no news yet.
Cheney said excitedly to Hou Yiying: "Mr. Lu not only agreed to bear all the expenses for the inspection trip to China for me and Daling Chen, but he was also willing to hold an exhibition in New York for our research results.
"
She glanced at Xiong Jiandong, and then joked to Hou Yiying, "Ying, I'm going to inspect your country in China. I have more expectations now. I just want to be lucky enough to find a Chinese man who can be completely comparable to your Dong."
Hou Yiying couldn't help but fell into a trance. She didn't expect that Cheney, an American girl, had repeatedly shown her surprising favor to Xiong Jiandong. Was he really that perfect?
But one thing is beyond doubt.
This is to compare Lu Zhichao and Xiong Jiandong. The former has a good family background, strong financial strength, and has also joined the American nationality. In terms of personal appearance, he can be regarded as outstanding in appearance and has a high level of intelligence. But today, he was let down.
The latter did it easily and was mercilessly slapped in the face, leaving him with a deep sense of frustration.
After finishing the meal, Lu Zhichao was still not satisfied and suggested that everyone take a cruise to enjoy the night view on both sides of the Seine River.
Obviously, he is unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity to continue to be together with Chen Hongjuan.
However, Chen Hongjuan was not interested in this. She said that she planned to do her best to be a landlord tomorrow and accompany Hou Yiying and Xiong Jiandong to the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and other places in Paris, so it would be better to rest early tonight.
Hou Yiying hit it off immediately and immediately agreed.
Lu Zhichao had no choice but to go to the service desk to arrange a taxi.
As soon as Lu Zhichao walked away, Xiong Jiandong immediately asked Chen Hongjuan rudely in Chinese: "How can you still wear this badge on your chest? Are you trying to keep it?"
