Looking back and smiling

Chapter 1 Nineteen: Dream and Reality

"Are we still friends?" Yangzhou asked after a long time.

"Or, it's a lover." An Ziyu teased, her clear voice eased Yang Zhou's mood a lot. "You go to sleep for a while."

Yangzhou was also tired from crying and soon fell asleep.An Ziyu fetched a basin of warm water from the toilet, gently wiped his body, then covered him with the quilt, and went out.

He ordered a takeaway and left it on the dining table in the living room, and there was a note next to it, telling Yang Zhou to wake up and eat something by himself, and go to the theater to rehearse.

Time flies.

Eight years, for me, it was still the same, ordinary, only twice, which caused some ripples in those ordinary days.

The first time was when Yang Nisha died.

The second time was when Heng Shen got married.

When he went to collect Yang Nisha's ashes, he saw several workers beside him crushing the bones of the burned body.After the cold corpse came out of the crematorium, only a few scattered bones and a pile of ashes remained.The staff has become numb to these, crushed the bones and put them in the urn bought by the family.

No one spoke during the whole process.

At that time, An Ziyu was thinking that it would be the same after his death.I just don't know who is holding his ashes?And who will shed tears for his departure?

Maybe, no one.

He saw Hengshen's marriage in the newspapers. The major newspapers in C city devoted a page to Hengshen's wedding scene, and almost all the words of blessing and praise were used.

The right family, a match made in heaven, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance...

In the photos in the newspaper, the bride and groom are smiling happily, and they only have each other in their eyes.

That night, An Ziyu suffered from insomnia.

He didn't know what his mood was at that time, because he couldn't feel whether he was sad or angry or something else he couldn't describe.

It wasn't until dawn that he realized that perhaps this place—the heart—was dead.

Yes, I am heartbroken.

……

An Ziyu finished the rehearsal very early, he took out his mobile phone to call Yangzhou, and asked him if he would like to come out for dinner, after he took out the mobile phone, he remembered that the number on his mobile phone was his number from eight years ago , and that number has already become an empty number, but he doesn't know why he didn't delete it.

He went to a nearby restaurant to pack three dishes and one soup and returned. As soon as he entered the door, a puff of smoke hit him, and An Ziyu was choked by the smoke and coughed.

"Zhouzhou..." An Ziyu shouted, but no one agreed to her.

He froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, the meal in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and he hurried to the kitchen.

The smoke was thicker in the kitchen and there was no open flame.Yang Zhou leaned against the cabinet with a pale face, and smiled at An Ziyu when he saw An Ziyu coming in.

An Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the thick smoke just now, his first reaction was that he was afraid that he would commit suicide.

"What are you doing?" An Ziyu quickly opened the kitchen window and pulled him to the balcony.After breathing in the fresh air, he felt more comfortable. He felt almost suffocated in the thick smoke just now.

"I'm sorry." Yang Zhou said apologetically.

"Your... voice?" An Ziyu noticed that Yang Zhou's voice had changed and became hoarse. "You can't be..." Xun hoarse his voice.

In the past, he liked his own voice the most. He joined the Water Love Voice League, played online dubbing, and played each role with his voice.I still remember Xiao Xierong's evaluation of his voice, like gold, silver and jade, a flamboyant, cynical prince and aristocrat.

Yang Zhou blinked his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly twitched on his pale face, revealing a weak smile.

Seeing that smile, An Ziyu felt uncomfortable. In the last days, she slept on the hospital bed, her face was pale, her voice was hoarse, and she smiled weakly.

He suddenly knew what Yangzhou was going to do.

He looked at Yang Zhou and asked, "Are you really going to do this?"

Yangzhou lowered his eyes halfway, and said lightly, "Because I'm tired from work." His voice was hoarse like an old man's age.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was the security guard of the community.Seeing thick smoke billowing in An Ziyu's room, they thought it was on fire. After calling the fire department, they hurried over with fire extinguishers.

An Ziyu said apologetically that it was just a small accident and the fire had already been extinguished.

The security guards knew him, a master of Shaoxing opera, and he was also a famous figure in City C, so they didn't say much. After checking, there were no open flames. They reminded him to be more careful in the future and left.

"I'm causing you trouble." The thick smoke in the room had disappeared, and Yang Zhou was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Once you know the trouble, be obedient." An Ziyu looked at the food on the ground, and found that he could no longer eat it. "Going out to eat?"

Yangzhou nodded.

"Are you going to..." An Ziyu hesitated and asked. "How to do it?"

Yangzhou smiled slyly, and said a name——Yang Shu.

……

Star Hotel is a five-star hotel under Yuxing Group.

Tonight, a charity party will be held here, and the chairman of Yuxing Group will propose to his girlfriend at this party.

The party started at six o'clock and was held on the top floor of the Star Hotel.At five o'clock, the party participants had already arrived one after another.

Yang Chengxian wore a white suit and was dressed as a very gentle gentleman. He was chatting with a middle-aged lady who was the wife of the chairman of the largest real estate company in City C.

"Chengxian." A beautiful female voice sounded behind him, and Yang Chengxian turned around and saw a woman in a white evening dress with her long hair coiled up and a crystal butterfly clip pinned to it.

The lady smiled, and said to Yang Chengxian: "I'll go there first, so I won't disturb you." She said hello to the woman in the white evening dress, and left.

"Shu Ya." Yang Chengxian went up to greet her. This woman was none other than the heroine of tonight's charity gala, the mayor's daughter Zhang Shuya.

Yang Chengxian asked, "Where's uncle?"

Zhang Shuya pursed her lips and pointed at the door, "I met Uncle Li, who is chatting. And..." Zhang Shuya leaned closer and looked at him. "It should be called Daddy."

Yang Chengxian smiled and said, "Yes, it's time to call me Dad."

"Congratulations, Director Yang." As soon as Heng Shen walked in with his wife, he saw Yang Chengxian and Zhang Shuya standing beside the crystal terrace. Out of politeness, he smiled and greeted them.

"Same joy, same joy." Yang Chengxian showed a polite smile on his face. "Heng Dong and Mrs. Heng are really a couple."

Heng Shen's wife smiled slightly, but did not speak, appearing virtuous and virtuous.Heng Shen smiled and said, "They're both old couples, so they naturally love each other deeply."

"That's right, Shu Ya and I really want to learn from you." Yang Chengxian smiled. "It's better to have a finger pulp as a marriage, and we can become in-laws in the future."

Heng Shen smiled and declined politely: "Now is not the time in ancient times, it still depends on the children's own wishes."

"That's right." The smile on Yang Chengxian's face remained unchanged. "It's the children's business, we don't have to worry about it."

Hengshen and Yang Chengxian were chatting, a waiter came up and said to Yang Chengxian: "Chairman, Director Li and Director Zhang have something to ask for you."

Director Li is Li Zhe, and Director Zhang is Zhang Xinyu. These two are old shareholders of Yuxing Group and have always supported Yang Chengxian.He only has 40.00% of the shares in his hand. Although he holds the most shares in the company, he is not the absolute controlling shareholder of Yuxing. At present, only with the support of the two of them can he secure the seat of chairman of Yuxing Group.

Yang Chengxian smiled apologetically at Hengshen, and Hengshen smiled and signaled to let him do the work first. Zhang Shuya and Mrs. Heng had a good chat.

Yang Chengxian followed the waiter to the lounge, and he found that not only Li Zhe and Zhang Xinyu were in the lounge, but also several senior executives of Yuxing Group.They were discussing something, and their expressions were a little uncomfortable, and one of them was even more flustered.

"What do you want from me?" Yang Chengxian asked.

Seeing Yang Chengxian coming, the panicked executive said quickly, "The chairman is not good."

Yang Chengxian frowned. At this time, what he hated to hear the most was that it was bad.

Another person who looked more calm and calm said: "The architects abroad unilaterally withdrew the design drawings and canceled the cooperation with us."

Yang Chengxian was stunned, and then asked: "Why? Didn't he know that he would have to pay liquidated damages for unilaterally terminating the contract?"

"The liquidated damages have already been paid over there." The calm person said worriedly. "It's just... if this design drawing is taken back, the construction of the Dream City will be postponed, and our losses will not exceed the liquidated damages."

Li Zhe said slowly: "It's just that the liquidated damages for the delay are not bad. If the government takes the project back because of the delay and invites bidding again, we will suffer even more losses."

"Probably not." The gentlemanly smile on Yang Chengxian's face disappeared. "I am engaged to Zhang Shuya today, and I can be regarded as the mayor's son-in-law. They probably won't take it back and invite new bids."

Hearing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's a backlash over there. I'm worried that someone deliberately put us together." Yang Chengxian said coldly. "He Qiyuan, we must find out what's going on."

The calmer replied: "Chairman, I understand."

"Could it be the Heng family?" Another person asked cautiously.

Yang Chengxian sneered and said, "If it's the Heng family, then I should settle the score properly."

The others didn't speak. All these years let them know that the chairman, who looks very gentlemanly, is actually a ruthless person.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door lightly, and reminded Yang Chengxian: "Chairman, the charity party is about to start in 10 minutes."

Yang Chengxian is the host of this charity gala, so naturally he will give a speech first.

"I see." Yang Chengxian said.

Seeing that they were talking about something, the secretary tactfully withdrew after reminding them.

After chatting for a few more words, with 2 minutes to [-] o'clock, Yang Chengxian left the lounge with them.

Just a few steps out of the lounge, Yang Chengxian's eyes turned cold, and he turned his head abruptly.

"Chairman?" He Qiyuan was taken aback by Yang Chengxian's eyes, and asked cautiously. "What's wrong?"

The cold light in Yang Chengxian's eyes disappeared, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Then he looked back and saw only a few waiters holding champagne, and a few ladies chatting with goblets.

Is it vertigo?

Just for a moment, he seemed to see Yang Nisha.

Soon he thought it was his own dizziness. Although he didn't know if Yang Nisha was dead or not, anyone who saw her scrawny body, pale face, and sunken eyes in the hospital looked like a woman with a thin layer of eyes. Even a skeleton with human skin would not believe that she can still live till now.

Although he believed that Yang Nisha was bound to die, he did not ask the secretary to go to the Public Security Bureau to register that Yang Nisha was dead.Because Yangzhou is still alive, the first heir to the shares under Yang Nisha's name is Yangzhou. That would be very unfavorable to him, so it's better to take up the time first.

Thinking of Yangzhou, Yang Chengxian felt a little regretful, after all, he was also a favorite, so he never tasted him.

The charity party started, and the host invited Yang Chengxian, the chairman of Yuxing Group, to speak on stage after praising the charitable deeds of the chairman of Yuxing Group for a long time.

With an unchanging gentlemanly smile on Yang Chengxian's face, Shi Shi ran onto the stage.The resignation speeches are all the same clichés, and if you talk too much, you just open your mouth.

He spoke slowly, with an elegant tone. While speaking, he looked at the people in the audience, and when he saw Zhang Shuya, there was a hint of doting on his face.

Zhang Shuya stood with her father, the mayor of City C, in the audience.She heard some women nearby whispering praises to Yang Chengxian. When she saw her, those women showed jealous expressions on their faces, and she couldn't help but feel proud.

Soon Yang Chengxian finished his speech, and there was thunderous applause below.

After Yang Chengxian finished his speech, he did not immediately step off the stage.

The charity gala is mainly a charity bazaar, and the funds from the bazaar are donated to charities, but everyone knows that Yang Chengxian has another purpose for holding the charity gala today.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile to everyone in the audience: "In fact, everyone knows that today I have to make the most important decision in my life."

After speaking, he paused, looked affectionately at Zhang Shuya standing under the stage and said: "Shuya, since the first time I saw you, I have met the person I want to protect for the rest of my life. I will be with you all my life, Be happy with you, laugh together, and watch the sunrise and sunset together. Shu Ya, will you marry me?"

The audience was quiet. The people who participated in the party were all dignified people, and no one made a fuss. Although they all knew the result—the mayor's lady would definitely agree, they all quietly waited for Zhang Shuya to make a statement.

Even though she knew that he was asking for marriage, but when she heard him say it on the spot, Zhang Shuya's cheeks were still slightly hot, and she couldn't help feeling shy.

"Shu Ya." Yang Chengxian's voice was moving. "Give me a chance and let me take care of you for the rest of your life."

Zhang Shuya lowered her head slightly, and Mayor Zhang tugged at her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Why is such a big girl so shy! Don't make my nephew wait too long."

Yang Chengxian is handsome, young and promising. Mayor Zhang is very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.

Zhang Shuya glared at her father shyly, then slightly raised her eyes to look at Yang Chengxian in the stands who was about to agree, when she heard a sudden laughter from behind.

"Hahaha..." In the quiet venue, the laughter was hoarse and piercing, and it felt like the sound was torn out of the throat.
