Chapter 6 He also has a bad temper The engagement party went smoothly. Shen Luo followed Shen Duanwen most of the time, and spent the rest of the time drinking wine and chatting with a group of ladies from aristocratic families. Shen Duanwen probably asked her not to cause trouble, so she didn't come out to show off her embarrassment tonight, and just watched the stage quietly. A pair of beautiful ladies.
The people who came to the banquet were basically prominent people in Huaicheng, and there were also some people who were close to the Qin family and the Shen family. Shen Manzhi spent half the time following Qin Yanfeng with a drink, mingling among the merchants, and Huai. Some of the big shots in the city looked familiar, and they were drunk.
To put it another way, tonight's game was actually mainly set up for Qin Yanfeng. Qin Demin, the head of the Qin family, personally brought his eldest son to the meeting, and she retreated.
There was a small garden outside the banquet hall. Shen Manzhi came out of the bathroom and pushed open the glass door along the corridor to the small garden and breathed in the fresh air.
She doesn't like such conversation and socializing, just as she hates the so-called celebrity circle in Huaicheng.
Some people wear a glamorous appearance but hide an ugly heart. No matter how elegant and refined they are, they always hate evil.
Shen Luo's pitiful pear blossom tears in her room in the afternoon only made her fall out in public and take action. Then when the White Lotus show happened, Shen Duanwen could come back and slap her at any time. She was really tired of watching such scenes.
Five years ago, she couldn't help but took action, and her reputation started to deteriorate at that time. Now she is just too lazy to take action. Outsiders said that she wandered into the nightclub without knowing the rules, and acted domineeringly and wantonly. To deal with Shen Luo, the only way to deal with Shen Luo was to dig out the road of White Lotus and leave her with no way out.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Shen Luo has not made any progress at all.
Shen Manzhi stood in the hall where the light cast a graceful light and shadow, feeling safe and quiet.
"Manzhi?"
A voice came from behind.
She turned around and looked at the woman walking over, with well-maintained skin and still decent facial features, with a noble temperament.
Qin Demin's second wife, Qin Yanfeng's stepmother, Chang Yu.
The woman's expression was somewhat gentle and comfortable, and showed no hostility.
Shen Manzhi did not respond, but bowed his head slightly to show respect.
When she was silent and expressionless, her face became colder and arrogant. Even though she had been away from the aristocratic circles for many years, the confidence and sternness expected of a young lady from an aristocratic family was still engraved in her bones.
Chang Yu is nearly forty years old, her appearance is still youthful, and she is an unbeatable beauty. As the wife of the Qin family, she is naturally a force of oppression and magnanimity.
Her tone was a little gentle and a little distant, "Tonight is your and Yanfeng's engagement party. Your father has your sister with him, but he ignored you. He went in with your aunt to meet people and chat?"
Shen Manzhi's temperament has always been cold and lazy, "Thank you, madam, no need, I don't like it."
Chang Yu knew the virtues of the eldest lady of the Shen family, but he became more and more gentle, "In one month, you will be the young lady of the Qin family. The Qin family will not hold you accountable for what you did outside in the past, but from today on, you Every move you make involves the outside world's criticism of the Qin family and Yanfeng. You are no longer a child, you should know what to do and what not to do."
Her tone was gentle like that of a matron, but her words were all filled with condescending alms, telling her not to be ungrateful.
How could Shen Manzhi not hear her true intention.
Her tone was slightly provocative and her words were flat, "Since Auntie understands so clearly, she should know my true nature. I really bother you to worry about it. Besides, what will happen in a month has not been decided yet. Maybe who will be the young lady of the Qin family?" Well, if you don't like this marriage, you can ask my father to cancel it, and I will be very grateful."
It is said that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has been out and about for many years, but she does not lose the respect and respect that should be used in her words. When she is arrogant and domineering, she has to look at the person she is talking to.
She had never had contact with the Qin family before, and now that she was engaged, she didn't want to have contact with them. After saying this, she nodded slightly to Chang Yu and left the small garden.
The hall began to disperse, and she stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked up to see the man sitting on the small sofa. He had a handsome face that was indifferent and indifferent.
Probably sensing her gaze, Qin Yanfeng cast his gaze from afar, raised his eyes slightly, stood up and walked towards her.
Being very close, she smelled the clean and cold breath of the man's body.
"I'll have someone take you back, and he'll give you the key."
The return he was talking about was the residence he had prepared for her last night.
Shen Manzhi didn't take it to heart at the time. She was a little surprised by such a mention. She had a lot of things to ask, but the time and place didn't allow it.
What he looked at was the man's prominent Adam's apple. He raised his eyes slightly and met Qin Yanfeng's cold eyes, "You live there too?"
Qin Yanfeng said: "I live in my family."
The house was only prepared for her. Shen Manzhi suppressed the doubts in his heart and said softly, "I won't go there. I will go home tonight. If you are free tomorrow, we can talk..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Yulan brought Shen Luo over and greeted Qin Yanfeng, thinking that Qin Yanfeng was going to send Shen Manzhi home, "Mr. Qin, are you busy with something later? We can just go back with Manzhi." Before Qin Yanfeng could speak, Shen Manzhi said coldly, "No, I won't go back."
Xie Yulan's face changed slightly, and her eyes seemed a bit worried about the child's ignorance. She whispered, "Manzhi, you just got engaged today, so don't go to those places. We have everything at home and it's convenient. When I go home, outsiders will say unpleasant things..."
Those places?Shen Manzhi sneered in his heart.
Shen Luo held Xie Yulan's hand, with a gentle look on her face and a soft voice, "Yes, sister, there are a lot of new clothes in my wardrobe. You don't have to worry about not bringing any clothes back. Besides, grandma is also talking about you, so just go back Stay at home."
The two families were engaged, and as the woman, she went to the nightclub, which would have a negative impact on the Qin family and the Shen family.
Xie Yulan seemed to be reasonable and caring about her, but her reputation didn't last for a day or two. She knew that she was not easy to mess with, but she still wanted to show weakness to show her generosity.
Shen Manzhi looked straight at the mother and daughter, raised his red lips, and smiled with a hint of laziness in the corners of his eyes.
Bing Bing said coolly, "Don't play the story of wearing sheep's clothing to trick a sheep into a hole. I didn't act recklessly today and let you down."
She changed the subject slightly, with obvious coldness, "If you don't want anything to happen, don't mess with me."
The only person in the Shen family who can deal with her is Shen Duanwen, the kind who can do it without any reason, but what he lacks is a deaf ear.
Outsiders all thought that Shen Manzhi was an ignorant young lady, the type who would burst into pieces when stimulated. Even mother and daughter Xie Yulan thought so, so they didn't take his words to heart either.
On the surface, she said it was for her own good, but outsiders said she was ignorant of good and evil, but in fact, she kept turning a deaf ear to Shen Duanwen. The more she acted like this, there was no need for her to be unhappy.
Qin Yanfeng stood in front of her, as if he hadn't heard what the other two said. His tone was as calm as ever, and he said in a low voice, "If you're not happy, don't go back. The car is downstairs. I'll have someone take you there."
Shen Manzhi was surprised that the man took the initiative to stand on her side and did not expose her previous statement that she wanted to go back to live with the Shen family. He also used the opportunity to give her face, but instead ignored Xie Yulan and her son.
Xie Lanyu was the first to react and said anxiously, "What are you talking about, Manzhi? We are worried about you. You have been living at home for the past two days. I am also afraid that things will be bad outside. I have everything at home, so you don't want to go." Being angry outside makes your grandma and dad worried."
She moves out of her elders and still looks like a loving mother. In the eyes of outsiders, she is really a good stepmother.
Shen Manzhi's eyes became colder and colder. She was very close to the man. She raised her eyes to look at him, but she only saw the same impatience and indifference. She felt a little funny for no reason.
Then Qin Yanfeng raised his arms and put his arms around her waist, moving away from Xie Yulan and her daughter, "I'll take you down."
She felt that the man's hand was only weakly placed on her waist, not touching her through the suit jacket.
This man had been helping her tonight. If she hadn't vaguely known that he was in the same situation as her and that he had some intention of going against the Qin family, she would have mistakenly thought that he was very interested in this engagement.
After the two of them turned the corridor, Shen Luo came back to her senses and whispered to her mother, "Mom, Master Qin is not interested in Shen Manzhi, is he?"
Xie Yulan's face was expressionless, her voice was low, and she said softly, "It's just a skin. Men like her seductive look. Qin Yanfeng is not someone to be trifled with. Someone will take care of her." .”
Shen Luo didn't answer any more, she lowered her eyes and thought about the man's face and height of meters. She had seen powerful and wealthy young masters in the aristocratic circle, and also met the young master whose appearance was highly praised, but she didn't I have never seen a better looking man than him.
His temperament is as indifferent as an iceberg, with a subtle sense of oppression and charm that always makes women fascinated.
When the family made the marriage contract between Shen Manzhi and him, she only knew that the eldest young master of the Qin family was not welcomed by the family. After all, the current mistress of the house was not his biological mother, so naturally she would not mention the man's appearance and abilities.
From the moment she saw Qin Yanfeng last night, she knew that Shen Manzhi was taking advantage again.
Downstairs in the hotel, Qin Yanfeng had already taken back the hand behind her and called someone to drive the car to a conspicuous place.
Shen Manzhi stood waiting next to him. There was no one else around. She remembered what she said before and said, "Thank you just now. If you are free tomorrow, let's talk."
"I will be very busy in the next few days and will contact you when I have time."
The car drove in front of the two of them, and he opened the back door for her. Shen Manzhi leaned in and closed the door without giving her any chance to speak.
The car was quiet. Shen Manzhi saw the young man driving the car through the rearview mirror. He was wearing rimless glasses and had no expression on his face the whole time.
The residence Qin Yanfeng prepared for her was in Nanshi. The market price of the community in Fengqiao County was not the highest, but it was very secure. The high-rise duplex with one bedroom and one living room was really just for her to live in.
The young man walked her to the door and gave her the key. After she thanked her, the man said nothing but nodded slightly and left.
