C500 It Was Unforgettable Because It Had Been There Before
"I want to stop too, but how can it be so easy?" Chen Xinran covered her face and shook her head desperately. Tears rolled down from her hands and fell to the ground, covering a large piece of the ground.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. I was originally entrusted by someone to help you settle your wish. But if you are like this, I have no choice." Ling Shaozhong was not a gossiper. He was not interested in knowing Chen Xinran's past. At this moment, he really regretted taking care of this mess. He decided to go back and settle the score with that person.
"I'm sorry!" Chen Xinran cried. After venting her anger, she did not feel so depressed anymore. She turned around and took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her face. She apologized to Ling Shaozhong in embarrassment, "Sorry to trouble Professor Ling this time."
"It's good that you're okay." Ling Shaozhong felt that standing here, being looked at by passers-by was a little awkward. Don't think that he bullied Chen Xinran.
He looked up and tried to ignore those gazes. He saw Huo Liancheng's figure disappear from the side door. He asked, "Are you going back to the hotel to rest or to stay and eat something?"
Chen Xinran was much calmer now. She thought for a while and said, "I have been on the plane for a day. The food on the plane is really bad. I am really hungry now. I will go and eat something."
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Ling Shaozhong asked.
Chen Xinran shook her head. "I can go by myself. Miss Zheng is my classmate. I will go and look for her. I'm sorry to make Professor Ling laugh tonight."
Ling Shaozhong waved his hand. He really did not want to see a woman cry anymore. He quickly said goodbye and chased after Huo Liancheng.
Chen Xinran stood there for a while. When she was completely calm, she turned around and walked towards the hall.
She had just entered the hall. Chen Xinran almost bumped into someone.
"Aiya, who is so blind!" That person staggered and almost fell to the ground. His words were not polite.
"Zheng Xiaoxiao, it's me." Chen Xinran reached out and grabbed the man's arm.
Zheng Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go mad, but when she saw Chen Xinran's face full of tears and makeup, she immediately became nervous. "What's wrong? Who dares to bully our Chen supermodel? Quickly tell me, I'll take revenge for you!"
"Let's go, we'll talk about it in your room." Chen Xinran had sharp eyes and saw Huo Liancheng standing at the side door and talking to the Zheng family's old man. Although she wanted to look at him, she did not want to be seen like this. She could only lower her head and drag Zheng Xiaoxiao up the stairs.
"Hey, is that Annie Chen? She's been a supermodel of the famous international company for the past few years." In the hall, someone saw Chen Xinran and immediately recognized her.
"It seems to be her. I saw her crying in the garden just now."
"Why are you crying?"
"I don't know. She has always been with Professor Ling from Beijing University. Is there something -"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Professor Ling is already married. His children are in primary school. You guys don't know. I just saw Annie Chen blocking Huo Liancheng's way. She cried because of Huo Liancheng."
"I see. Could it be that between her and Huo Liancheng..."
A group of people whispered to each other. This was how gossip started.
However, no one dared to say this in front of Huo Liancheng. Although Ling Shaozhong had heard some of it, he was an open-minded person. Naturally, he would not specially correct them.
Huo Liancheng didn't stay for long. After finishing his business with the Zheng family's old man, he left quickly. Ling Shaozhong shook his head and sighed when he saw that.
When Chen Xinran finished her makeup and came down from upstairs, she looked around the hall on the first floor and didn't see Huo Liancheng again. It was Zheng Xiaoxiao who went to ask the Zheng family's big brother and found out that Huo Liancheng had left.
"Are you disappointed?" Zheng Xiaoxiao asked Chen Xinran.
She was a university classmate with Chen Xinran and had a good relationship with her. She knew more or less what was on Chen Xinran's mind. She knew that Chen Xinran had returned to the country this time for Huo Liancheng. However, it was obvious that she had not made any progress.
"I'm not just disappointed this time." Chen Xinran's expression was lonely. Although she was very hungry, she could not eat anything when she looked at the plate full of food.
"He is already married. You should put it down." Zheng Xiaoxiao did not agree with Chen Xinran's stubbornness, "Look at you. You were originally so bright and confident, but you actually cried like a dog tonight. You look so much different from when you used your full power on the runway. Is there a need for that? There are so many men chasing after you, but you don't like any of them? Why does it have to be Huo Liancheng?"
"You don't understand." Chen Xinran and Zheng Xiaoxiao sat in the corner. When they heard Zheng Xiaoxiao's words, she smiled bitterly and put down the tray filled with food.
"Why don't I understand?" Zheng Xiaoxiao was unhappy. "We've known each other for so many years. Every time Huo Liancheng was mentioned, you would look like this. You have to look forward. His heart isn't on you. Why are you so persistent?"
"Because that is Huo Liancheng!" Chen Xinran sighed, "I have loved him for more than ten years. If I had never had him before, I would not be so sad. It is because we once had a relationship that I can never forget..."
"Sigh, I do not want to talk about you anymore. In my heart, sooner or later you will play yourself to death like this!" Zheng Xiaoxiao did not like men. She could not understand why Chen Xinran was so loyal to Huo Liancheng.
It was almost half past nine when Huo Liancheng arrived home. It was relatively early for him to return at this time of the banquet.
The house was quiet. Huo Liancheng did not find Jian Yun in the bedroom and the study room was not there. He was nervously looking for the butler to ask when he heard the melodious piano music coming from the garden.
Huo Liancheng felt relieved. He did not delay and went downstairs to the glass room at the back.
The garden was very big. The glass room was very beautiful at night. Although there were no flowers, there were green plants everywhere. The row of lights illuminated the room like a fairyland. In the different shades of green, the woman in the yellow dress was as light as an elf. The melodious piano music made Huo Liancheng feel like he was in a fairyland.
Jian Yun did not notice Huo Liancheng's arrival. Her back was facing him and she was very engrossed in playing. It was only when Huo Liancheng hugged her from behind that she realized it. At the same time, she was also shocked. The last few sounds were all messed up.
"Ah!" Jian Yun cried out in shock, "When did you come back?"
Huo Liancheng sat on the piano stool and hugged Jian Yun, letting her sit on his lap, "I have been back for a while. I have finished listening to this song."
Jian Yun reached out and wrapped her arms around Huo Liancheng's neck. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, "Then why didn't you say anything? I was scared to death just now."
"I still wanted to ask you." Huo Liancheng lovingly pinched Jian Yun's nose and lowered his handsome face. "Didn't you feel uncomfortable? Why don't you go and rest? You came here to play the piano and wore so little clothes!"
