Li Shaowen heard that Zhou Zhilan and Zhou Muqing, two brothers and sisters, appeared very intimately in Liyuan Pavilion recently, listening to the new "Peony Pavilion" by Jingkun Society.He hadn't seen her for several days, he was worried about her, and planned to ask Zhilan to have a meal in person to discuss the details of the marriage.

In the morning, a black Buick drove up from Zhou's mansion and parked in front of the door.Li Shaowen got off the car, but housekeeper Zhou didn't dare to neglect him, and hurriedly welcomed him into the living room.

Li Shaowen had just entered the door here, and the person Mu Qing sent to talk to him about canceling the engagement over there missed it.

Before he could express his intention, Steward Zhou respectfully said to Li Shaowen: "Young Master Li, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask Miss San to go downstairs immediately."

Li Shaowen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Butler Zhou is very good at coming: "You're welcome. You will be my half master immediately, as you should."

This remark made Li Shaowen feel very relieved, he wanted to give a reward as usual, but after thinking about it, he decided not to make it public, so he watched Steward Zhou go upstairs.

Gui Ma smiled and said, "Ma'am, our future son-in-law is here."

The eldest lady greeted him politely.Li Shaowen was sitting on the sofa, when he saw the eldest lady coming over he hurriedly got up.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Please sit down, is Young Master Li here today?"

"I happen to be free today, so I will pick up Lan'er for lunch."

"Lan'er is really lucky. Madam Yu is so blessed to be so affectionate with Young Master Li before even getting married." The eldest wife sighed, and suddenly realized that she had slipped her tongue.Fortunately, Li Shaowen didn't care about his thoughts, so he didn't pay attention.

Zhilan got the notice from the housekeeper, she remembered Mu Qing's repeated instructions, and only answered, thinking about how to evade it.

As she was thinking, Yan Cui's voice sounded again at the door.

"Understood." Zhilan replied.

Downstairs Li Shaowen was anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.He looked up at Zhilan's closed door, Yan Cui was waiting outside the door, holding Miss's cape and coat in his hand.

Zhilan thought of a good idea: "Yan Cui, come in."

"Is this okay, miss?" Yan Cui came into the room, listened to Zhilan's advice, and frowned.

"Go ahead, just tell your wife that."

Yan Cui went downstairs and whispered a few words to the eldest wife.

"That's it! That's fine." The eldest wife understood the girl's shyness and said reasonably.

She turned her head and said to Li Shaowen: "I'm sorry, Young Master Li, Lan'er suddenly feels unwell, her stomach hurts badly, why don't you, Young Master Li..."

"Really?" He couldn't figure out whether the words were true or not, and it was difficult to argue or question in front of the eldest wife, so he was still a little disappointed anyway.

"Women always have headaches, I hope you will understand." The eldest wife said three points clearly, Li Shaowen was skeptical, and wished he could rush to the door of Zhilan's room to ask. Right now, the eldest wife is waiting in front of him, so he has no choice but to put this An urge to hold back.

"Okay then, I'll come back another day." Li Shaowen stood up and said goodbye.

Mother Gui sent him out on behalf of the eldest wife. Before Li Shaowen got into the car, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Li. My wife said that haste makes waste, and she will find a way."

"That's really grateful. You tell Madam, let her feel at ease, and I will take care of Brother Yuehua in the future."

Zhilan heard the sound of Li Shaowen's car starting in the room, and felt relieved.She wanted to wait for Mu Qing to come home at night, and then tell him about Li Shaowen's invitation to have lunch with her, but she waited and waited, only to see the old man came back from get off work.

"Father, where's the second brother?"

"Oh. I asked him to go to Echeng on a temporary business trip to solve some problems in the Wande branch. If it is fast, it will take three days or if it is slow, it will take five days." The old man looked at her and said.

Disappointment was written on Zhilan's face, she hurriedly pretended to be nonchalant, but all of this fell into Butler Zhou's eyes.

She sat alone at the desk after dinner.

Someone knocked on the door, it was father, Zhilan got up and opened the door for him personally.

"Today your mother told me that Li Shaowen came to ask you out for dinner in the morning, but you excused yourself and went back to him."

"Father, I really had a very uncomfortable stomach at that time, and I didn't push it off on purpose."

"These are not important. I never regarded you as an outsider, but you inevitably let me down." The old man changed the subject.

"What did I do wrong?" Zhilan's heart sank.

"At that time, the Li family sent someone to come to the matchmaker. Our family has already accepted the marriage. Even if you don't like him, you can't refuse him with an excuse, understand?"

"I" was right in the words of the old man, and Zhilan was speechless to refute.

"Lan'er, recently I heard from the housekeeper that you and Qing'er are very close. Are you still listening to operas with Qing'er? You must be very disappointed to hear that he didn't come back today. I sent him to Hubei on purpose. I went to the city." The old man said, "I'm from here, so I can see that the person in your heart should be Qing'er, right?"

Zhilan blushed and lowered her head: "Yes."

"Nie Yuan! Have you ever thought about it, you and Qing'er are not allowed in the world! The Qi family will not let you recognize your ancestors. In the eyes of the world, you will always be the daughter of my Zhou Shixiong, and Zhou Muqing is you My second brother!" The old man's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring through her hot heart.

"Maybe I can unilaterally disclose my background and leave the Zhou family. I will be responsible for the consequences and I will never drag you down. I just ask you to allow us to be together." Zhi Lan said the thoughts brewing in her heart.

"Girl Lan, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you do this, I will not allow Qing'er to marry you. If you disclose your background, you will already be the talk of the streets and alleys after dinner. Wouldn't my Zhou family become Jiangcheng? Just a joke, tell me how I can agree to Qing'er marrying you in? At that time, Qing'er had to marry a well-matched family daughter to come in, so as to block everyone's mouths, I would consider handing Wande to him. If he insists on marrying You come in, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between father and son, so I had to drive him out of Zhou's house." Master Zhou said this very seriously, and Zhilan fell silent.

"So girl Lan, if you still care about the relationship between father and daughter and don't do anything wrong, your best destination is to marry into the Li family. In my opinion, that kid from the Li family loves you so much, you might as well hold him firmly For the rest of your life, you will naturally have no worries about food and clothing. As a woman, you have enough silk to wear in a lifetime, gold and silver to spend in a lifetime, and a husband who loves you. What are you chasing blindly? Can love be eaten? Childish!" Master Zhou advised her.

"Father means to persuade me to give up Brother Muqing?" Zhilan's face darkened, she couldn't accept her father's words, she was not reconciled.

The old man was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."

"Father, you told me to give up Brother Muqing, how cruel you are to me, I have fallen in love with him, and I have never promised Li Shaowen..." There were tears in Zhilan's eyes, and big ones fell down.

"The Li family has already approached the door, so we have to bear the consequences." After all, it is the daughter who has been raised for so many years, and now the Li family is involved, let alone Li Shaowen, the "devil king" in the business world.Master Zhou still remembered Wan De's sudden crisis before, Li Shaowen's ability to turn clouds and rain, he was bound to win Lan'er, it was clearly written on his face, how could he give up?Besides, the matter was originally a match made by oneself, so Zhilan's thoughts are nothing, "Now you and Qing'er are just a dream, and you still have to face the reality when you wake up from the dream. You should marry or marry, don't do what he thinks .Besides, don't try to make your life experience public, and don't blame dad for being cruel."

The old man brought him to the door, and Zhilan lay on the bed and wept unceasingly.Stepping into this situation step by step, there is a dilemma, and there is no other way but to sigh that the world is tricking people.

She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, but her father's words still lingered in her ears, and every sentence pierced her heart, causing a dull pain.

But this also aroused her desire. No matter what the result was, she still had to try. Mu Qing was in Echeng, so she could only rely on herself, and she must have a showdown with Li Shaowen.

Li Shaowen came to the door again the next day.

Li Shaowen sat down on the sofa and drank tea.

The eldest lady said to Gui's mother: "You must invite the lady down when you go upstairs. If she doesn't open the door, find a way to let her out."

Gui's mother agreed, she called a few times at the door of Zhilan's room, but she didn't answer, she was changing clothes, and she didn't want to sell this face to Gui's mother.

Seeing this situation, the eldest wife whispered a few words to Butler Zhou, and the butler understood and brought Mama Rong.

"What did your wife call me for?"

"Go and invite the lady downstairs."

Rong's mother went in without knowing, watching her future son-in-law drinking tea unhurriedly, thinking of the quarrel between their young lovers, she knocked on Zhilan's door without doubting someone else.

Hearing it was Rong's mother's voice, Zhilan opened the door. She had already changed her clothes and put on light makeup. She specially put on a pearl ring on her finger, and put the gemstone ring that Li Shaowen gave her into her handbag.With everything in order, I walked downstairs lightly.

Li Shaowen walked over quickly and took her hand.Suddenly he spotted the Pearl Ring and glanced at her slightly.He smiled and said goodbye to the eldest wife, and got into the car with Zhilan.

Zhilan sat upright, deliberately keeping a distance from Li Shaowen.

Li Shaowen narrowed his eyes slightly, approached her, and fished the petite and exquisite Zhi Lan into his arms with a big hand.He hugged her tightly, forcing her to look up at him.

Shaowen smiled, seeing that her red lips were so delicate and charming, if it wasn't for the driver in the car, he would have kissed her on the spot: "Tell me why you didn't wear the promise ring I gave you?"

Zhilan said seriously, "I have something to tell you."

Li Shaowen shook his head: "No, I don't want to hear it now. Let's go eat first."

Zhilan didn't object, and the car wasn't an ideal place to talk.

The car still drove to Yuegong Hotel.Li Shaowen is very attentive.After all the leftovers were taken away, Zhilan said politely: "Li Shaowen, do you think about our engagement again?"

"Why? What do you mean by that?" From the moment he left the house, Li Shaowen felt that something was on her mind. Hearing this sentence, he felt lucky that Zhou Yuehua had given him a few pointers when he came to visit yesterday, which made him feel a little fussy.

Zhilan looked at the pearl ring on her finger and said, "I, Zhou Zhilan, am not as perfect as you imagined. I have neither family background nor identity or status, and I have someone else in my heart."

"Who?" Li Shaowen was suddenly furious, he almost grabbed Zhilan's hand, but he held back, "Who gave you this ring."

"Who do you care?" Zhilan didn't flinch or fear, "Actually, why do you pretend to be confused, you should feel whether I have ever been in love with you, but you are deceiving yourself and don't want to face it. Now I propose to still It's too late to tell you that I have found my heart, I want to retire, I don't want to marry you."

There was chill in Li Shaowen's eyes, he and her looked at each other, suddenly thought of something, and laughed strangely: "Lan'er, you purposely took a broken ring to force me to lose my mind and quit the engagement? I almost caught fire Your way, don't use aggressive methods, it won't work for me."

"But I have someone in my heart. You will not be happy if you force us to be together. Let me go and give yourself a new chance." Li Shaowen doesn't take hard things, Zhilan wants to be soft.

"I just ask you. Now that you call your lover to me, I will believe it. Can you?" Li Shaowen asked back.

Zhilan was stunned, she deeply remembered what the old man said to her, Man said that Mu Qing was not here, even if he was, she would never make it public, before Mu Qing got Wan De, she could not do anything that would harm him .

"You can't, can you? It's all an excuse. That's enough, Lan'er, stop making trouble. I won't believe it, stop thinking about it, just stay at home and wait for my car. By the way, I'm here today, just Just to let you know, I decided to advance our wedding, and next Wednesday is an auspicious day, so you can get through the door as soon as possible."

Li Shaowen recalled what Yue Hua said during his visit, and Yue Hua said: "In my opinion, Sister Lan's disposition towards your brother-in-law is not very stable. In fact, if you like my sister, it is better to get married sooner rather than later. Wedding night, you You still have to wait? Believe me, I have the most experience in dealing with women, what kind of feelings and thoughts, once you conquer her, the feelings and thoughts will naturally follow the body." He also patted himself on the shoulder with a smile .

In terms of women, Zhou Yuehua is a master of love who never touches his body even if there are thousands of flowers.Seeing Zhilan's surprised and restless expression, she really understood what Yue Hua meant to warn her.It seems that the return of my "investment" in Yuehua is not in vain, and I should listen to the advice and follow the good advice.

What Zhilan wanted to say was interrupted by him, "Let's go, it's getting late. I still have a lot of things to do today, so I'll take you back." He pulled out the chair for her, forcibly held her hand, and led her go downstairs.
