After a hidden marriage with the president

The Zuo family's old house was not as deserted as last time, it was much more lively, and there seemed to be a lot more servants than before.

Zuo Chen parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, then took Song Qingran down, and the driver drove the car to the garage.

Song Qingran was still wearing the white shirt and jeans she had when she went to school in the morning, and she pulled her clothes in embarrassment, "Is it not good for me to go to the banquet like this?"

Zuo Chen smiled, "You just think about it now, isn't it too good?"

"I'm not... just sleepy." Song Qingran scratched her hair in embarrassment.

"It's okay, grandma has prepared it for you, you go in and find her."

Zuo Chen received a message from his grandma early in the morning, saying that he had prepared a dress for Song Qingran and asked him to bring her back to change, so Zuo Chen didn't take her for styling.

Song Qingran was led in by Zuo Chen. As soon as they entered, the lively living room fell silent instantly. To be precise, the room became silent as soon as Zuo Chen entered.

Song Qingran felt uncomfortable, she looked at Zuo Chen, but the latter seemed to be used to such occasions, so she couldn't say anything.

Zuo Chen led Song Qingran inside, and Song Qingran secretly looked at the people in the room. The juniors of the Zuo family should all be there, and some were wives and ladies from other wealthy families.

Song Qingran used to be the eldest lady of the Song family. Although she seldom participated in social activities, she still showed her face.

Some of these people were familiar faces to her.

I don't know if it's my own illusion, since Zuo Chen entered the door, people seemed to be coming from black and white, and they looked away after a glance, for fear of being seduced.

Zuo Chen directly took her upstairs to another room, "The clothes prepared by grandma are here, you can try them on. If they don't fit, a dresser will come and change them."

"okay."

After speaking, Zuo Chen left.

Song Qingran took a look closer to the table, and there was a long red dress in a box.

Song Qingran's skin is fair, and she looks cold and pale without makeup on weekdays, but when she wears red, it looks like she has applied blush.

Because it was a family banquet, the dress prepared by the old lady was not very grand, and this dress looked very comfortable.

The size is suitable, Song Qingran does not need to modify anything.

Afterwards, she went downstairs and saw Zuo Chen in the crowd at a glance, accompanying her grandmother.

The room is basically from their generation, handsome men and beautiful women, Song Qingran secretly sighed in his heart about the genes of the Zuo family.

Surrounded by her grandchildren, the old grandmother sat in the middle of the room, dignified and elegant. Song Qingran felt that this was the modern version of Lin Daiyu entering Jia's mansion.

Just when Song Qingran was still fantasizing about whether the old grandmother would be like Jiamu seeing Lin Daiyu while crying and hugging herself while introducing her family members, Zuo Chen's "Qingran, here" brought her back to reality.

Song Qingran blushed slightly, walked around the crowd, and came to the old lady with her skirt in hand, calling her grandmother.

The old lady let out a "hey", "I knew the red color was so beautiful when I took advantage of you."

The old lady smiled and ordered the housekeeper beside her to bring up the prepared gifts.

Song Qingran was curious about what it could be, when the housekeeper brought up a small box with a familiar size and velvet texture, Song Qingran's heart skipped a beat again, could it be again?
The old lady took Song Qingran's hand, and put the box in her hand: "Qingran, Xiao Chen didn't like to communicate with people since he was a child, and he has been urged to find a girlfriend many times, but he still hasn't answered. , This is great, so I found such a beautiful, gentle and virtuous granddaughter-in-law."

Saying that, the old lady opened the box, and sure enough, it was another ring.

Song Qingran looked at it, and visually judged it to be an old ring. The old lady said, "I brought this when I got married, and now I give it to you, just to let you spend good time with Xiaochen. The two of you should have a good time."

Song Qingran refused, just opened his mouth and called out "Grandma..."

"Hush—" the old lady bent down and whispered in her ear, "The last time I gave it to you was secretly saved by grandma, it is a gift from grandma to meet you, this time it is formal, you are not allowed to refuse. "

The old man's tone had the unreasonable air of a child playing.

Song Qingran smiled, two small dimples faintly appeared on his cheeks.

She raised her head to meet Zuo Chen's gaze, and the latter motioned for her to take it.

But it was too expensive, she really didn't dare to take it, after all, it was the old lady's dowry.
After thinking about it, she still felt that she couldn't ask for it. Just as she was about to refuse, Zuo Chen's voice came from above her head: "Thank you, grandma."

A bony hand took the ring and stuffed it in hers.

Song Qingran glared at Zuo Chen resentfully, and the latter stared back not to be outdone.

Song Qingran, "..."

Well, I can't stare, you have big eyes!

She had no choice but to say, "Thank you grandma."

The old lady was happy, and she pulled Song Qingran to chat left and right, talking about Zuo Chen's childhood and embarrassing things, Song Qingran suppressed a smile, not daring to look up at Zuo Chen, the latter's face was so dark that water dripped out.

When it was time for dinner, everyone sat down at the dining table and ate in silence. No one spoke. What Song Qingran had accepted since childhood was not talking when eating or sleeping, and he didn't take it seriously.

The old lady cheerfully served her food and greeted everyone.

The old lady was in a good mood today, and asked why everyone didn't talk, they were all very happy chatting before, but why everyone is listless today.

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone lowered their heads.

Only an old man with a slightly older grade smiled awkwardly: "The old lady and Chen's daughter-in-law are the protagonists today, and the protagonists didn't speak. How dare we talk nonsense."

These words did not relieve the dignified atmosphere.

Song Qingran, on the other hand, looked up in surprise when the old lady finished speaking.

It turns out that they are very lively on weekdays, just like when they first entered the house before, why now...
She looked at it strangely, and everyone smiled awkwardly, but no one answered.

She looked at Zuo Chen again, the man was still calm, as if he stayed out of the matter, eating on his own.

Seeing that she was looking at him inattentively, she smiled helplessly, "I know I'm pretty, but I can't be a meal, otherwise it doesn't matter if I let you look at him every day."

There was some regret in his tone.

Song Qingran silently looked away, this man... has become narcissistic!
This is different from what I knew at the beginning!

But... something is wrong...

The abnormality of this big family must have something to do with Zuo Chen!

She saw more than one person sneaking glances at Zuo Chen, with a bit of fear.

The man's aura is still strong, and it's normal for outsiders to feel afraid, but now the people here are all relatives of the Zuo family, and those other wealthy grandparents and famous ladies are also family friends of the Zuo family, so they must not be suppressed by his aura.

Why would that be?

The woman's intuition told Song Qingran that other people had an inexplicable sense of fear towards Zuo Chen.

She was very puzzled in her heart, but she didn't say much, after all, she didn't know much about Zuo Chen.

Just after dinner, He Zhou came in, said something in Zuo Chen's ear, with a serious face.

After hearing this, Zuo Chen got up, gave He Zhou some instructions, and He Zhou nodded and left.

Zuo Chen looked up, saw Song Qingran looking at him, and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Zuo, I have something to do. He Zhou and I are in the study. You can go out for dinner. You haven't been to the old house a few times, so you are familiar with it."

Song Qingran nodded.

Someone came to collect the dishes, she got up to help, but the old lady refused to let her do it, and ordered the housekeeper to take her to familiarize herself with the old house.

Song Qingran had no choice but to follow her out.

The old house is located near a scenic area not far from the sea, the surrounding environment is very good, and the air is particularly fresh.

Not far from the gate is the beach, the sea breeze is gentle, very pleasant.

Entering the courtyard gate, there is a green bamboo forest on the left, an Italian-style corner pavilion on the right, and gurgling water at the foot.

Song Qingran looked around at the old house. From the appearance, the old house bid farewell to the traditional symmetrical art and adopted an asymmetrical style, which on the contrary has a more unique taste.

But she also saw many ancient buildings along the way, all of which looked good. It is human nature to pursue beautiful things.

Before the butler asked her if she needed to introduce her, Song Qingran refused, and she couldn't understand the introduction, so she just had to look at it.

Later, Song Qingran got a little thirsty while walking, so she asked the butler if she could go back and get a glass of water, and she was here blowing the sea breeze.

The butler told her not to run around and be careful not to get lost, and then went to fetch water for her.

Song Qingran was too bored standing where he was, so he planned to walk forward and turn back later.

While watching, a girl came towards him and looked at Song Qingran. She felt strange, but she still smiled at the girl. The girl seemed startled, and smiled at Song Qingran.

Song Qingran didn't think much, and was about to continue walking when the girl leaned over and asked mysteriously, "Why aren't you afraid of that freak?"

Song Qingran was surprised, she stopped, and instinctively told her that what the girl was going to say had something to do with Zuo Chen: "Freak?"

"It's you first. It's Zuo Chen." The girl wanted to say "Your husband" before, but after thinking about it, maybe Zuo Chen is cheating on the marriage. After the young lady knows the truth, she seems to stay away from him!
Sure enough, Song Qingran thought to himself, this Zuo Chen is really... full of enigmas.

She asked calmly: "He, I don't think there is anything strange about him. He treats me very well. Why do you say he is a freak?"

The girl's expression was a little dazed, but within a few seconds, it turned into fear and hatred again, "He is a scourge! Nemesis! Anyone who is with him will be killed! Sister, you must stay away from him, you must..."

"what are you guys saying!"

The girl's shouting was interrupted, and a black figure appeared from behind her, walking over with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, why are you here?" The girl was startled and couldn't help taking a step back.

The girl's brother didn't answer: "What nonsense are you talking about, come back with me."

He obviously didn't want the girl to talk.

The girl lowered her head timidly, and the boy didn't say anything to her, but turned around and said to Song Qingran, "Mrs. Zuo, I'm sorry, my sister is young and can't speak. Mr. Zuo is young and promising, he is a good person, but It's because she doesn't like to talk or laugh on weekdays, and my sister is scared when she sees it, so she talks nonsense, so don't take it to heart."

Song Qingran smiled "hehe", thinking to himself, Zuo Chen is not afraid, then why do you call each of them "Mr. Zuo", they are all from the same family, you can change their name if you have the ability!

But the little boy was also a little nervous. Although Song Qingran couldn't see clearly through the faint moonlight, she could feel that the boy was also afraid.

Song Qingran thought that he was not a fool, why would someone always come to coax him!

Since she wouldn't be able to ask anything if she wasn't allowed to say it, "Then go back quickly and be careful on the road."

The girl looked at Song Qingran, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and was carried away by her brother like a chicken.

Song Qingran thought about it, Zuo Chen might not be as simple as an ordinary businessman.

Going home late at night with blood all over his body, the knife wound on his left shoulder, the inexplicable fear of the Zuo family towards Zuo Chen, and what the girl said, Song Qingran felt that he knew very little about Zuo Chen, and there were still too many mysteries about Zuo Chen. .

As soon as the two of them left, the housekeeper came over with water. When they approached, the housekeeper asked, "Was Madam talking to someone just now?"
