Chapter 96 Love Comes Fast as Lightning
“Uh, you…”
Facing the wine glass handed over, Chen Qingming was at a loss for a moment, especially looking at Chen Yueying's melancholy eyes, he felt even more at ease. He didn't know whether to pick up the wine glass to return to the toast or say something. His little head was blank.
To be honest, Chen Qingming was a little afraid of Chen Yueying.
Because in a sense, Chen Qingming always feels that he owes the other party a little...
Back then, his father Li Fengyun swept Shencheng with his sword, not only captured Chen Yue'e's heart, but also made Chen Yueying fall in love with her. However, after a fight, Chen Yueying ended up in a state of disheartening love. She has never fallen in love for 20 years and is still alone.
Although on the other hand, Chen Yueying is the deputy city lord and has a status above several brothers, people who are familiar with the past sigh that she is just using her work to numb herself and has not really achieved liberation. Chen Qingming also deeply agrees with this. After all, this second deputy city lord of Shencheng is addicted to romance novels and has become the head of the fan district. The effort she puts in it is really tearful...
The culprit that made a great woman fall to this point was Chen Qingming's biological parents. As the children of those two, now they have come to Shencheng and sit next to Chen Yueying. What does Chen Yueying feel like?
Thinking of this, Chen Qingming even wanted to say sorry to her.
But, is it really her turn to say this? Sorry, will Chen Yueying be in a good mood or feel humiliated twice as much?
The confused and embarrassed emotions occupied the girl's heart. Chen Qingming even thought that it would be great if Ajiu could be around at this time. With his superb emotional intelligence and skillful methods of dealing with people, he could at least help him eliminate a wrong answer as soon as possible...
While he was thinking about it, Chen Yueying had already touched the wine glass with Shen Qingming's hand, and then drank the wine in the glass and said softly: "Qingming, thank you for your hard work during these years."
"Okay, it's okay..." Chen Qingming didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he had to pick up the cup and drink awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.
Chen Yueying didn't care about the girl's discomfort, she smiled and said, "Do you like Shencheng?"
Chen Qingming said: "Well, I like it very much. This city... is very energetic and people are very enthusiastic."
Chen Yueying said: "If you like it, come and play often, or stay here, after all... this is your home."
Chen Qingming raised his head in surprise.
The other party had no intention of joking, at least in Shen Qingming's view, there was only sincerity in his deep eyes.
This... was really unexpected, Chen Qingming had to pick up the wine glass again.
What does she mean? This is also my home... This shouldn't be a slander?
While thinking about it, Chen Yueying said again: "Looking back now, I feel that it was ridiculous, childish and ridiculous at that time, but the momentary absurdity has led to a lifelong consequence of regret... In fact, everyone has regretted the impulse at that time over the years, but even though they regret it in their hearts, everyone still continues to hate according to the old inertia. Because there has never been a chance to break this inertia, until now, you are here."
When Chen Qingming heard this, he finally confirmed that the other party really wanted to resolve the hatred of the past.
Although unexpected and even a little difficult to understand, Chen Qingming smiled in time, picked up the wine glass for the third time, and then said seriously: "This is also my last wish."
"Yue'e too?... So, with her personality, she naturally let go of those unpleasant things. She is much more free and easy than all of us." Chen Yueying felt even more sad when she said this. Thinking of what happened back then, she was even a little ashamed.
"How are your mother doing in Shencheng during those years?"
Chen Qingming thought for a while and said, "It's pretty good. Although her physical condition is a bit bad, I remember that she always has a smile on her face."
"Well, she used to smile often." Chen Yueying said, her mind and body floating to the past. When she was in the outer courtyard, Yue'e often had a faint smile on her face, and she looked gentle and polite to everyone.
However, as a sister, Chen Yueying remembers it very clearly. Her sister once said that for those who are not intelligent enough to communicate, just smile as long as you can't get entangled and waste time. So later, every time Chen Yueying saw her sister smiling at others, she always involuntarily wrote about the scene where she said she was mentally retarded.
However, when facing her own daughter, she should have a sincere smile.
At the same time, looking at Chen Qingming's face that was somewhat different from his sister, but more innocent and cute, Chen Yueying's love and guilt grew more and more.
If it weren't for those things back then, this child would have grown up in a better family environment, and would never have been bullied by a father who knew nothing about the world except swordsmanship, and a young stepmother... As a person with the blood of the Shen family, he should have been treated like that. Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts should have rushed up to kick the door. However, Chen Qingming, the child, suffered so much that he was almost 15 years old this year, and he was still so thin and small that there was no trace of development in the plump place of his daughter's house. He didn't look like the tall but not graceful Chen Yue'e's daughter, but really like the child of Li Fengyun and Lu Xin!
Chen Qingming noticed something very keenly, reached out to cover his chest, and then looked at Chen Yueying with some suspicion: "What's wrong?"
Chen Yueying shook her head as if nothing happened: "If you have anything in the future, just come to me. I was sorry for your mother back then, and now I can't make up for her... So I will help you with your affairs at all costs. This is my promise to you."
After saying this, Chen Yueying felt relaxed all over, as if a demon who had suppressed herself for twenty years disappeared in an instant, and everything in front of her suddenly became clear.
It turns out that letting go is so happy... Looking back now, the obsessions of the past years are really ridiculous.
But if it hadn't been fermented for so many years, how could a person's thoughts change so easily? In fact, when Chen Qingming and others just arrived in Shencheng, Chen Yueying still had hatred for the past.
Although it is more caused by inertia, if it were not for the change in the source of inertia, Chen Yueying might have continued to hate along the original trajectory until the end of his life.
Thinking of this, Chen Yueying's heart moved and her eyes turned to Chen Ruoshi.
My own change actually comes from Chen Ruoshi. If his attitude had not been loosened, I would not have woken up. In fact, it was precisely because of the realization that even the most stubborn father had already let go of his hatred. What was he still obsessed with? Only then would there be changes in the future.
After all, Chen Yueying is still too cowardly than the sister Yue'e who dares to openly disobey her father and does not hesitate to cut off her relationship...
However, just when Chen Yueying was filled with emotion, she suddenly heard Chen Ruoshi's bold laughter.
"Hahaha, I am worthy of being the eldest son of Jinyu City. Both in terms of practice and in the mind, I am a master of the world. At your age, my achievements are about twice as strong as you. But it is already amazing to be only half inferior to me!"
Chen Yueying couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She was really worthy of being her father. She was still 100 years old and still kept changing her virtues when she was young. This overflowing confidence caused him so much dispute back then.
On the other hand, Zhao Jincheng was not unhappy at all, bowed his hand and said sincerely: "My city lord is a mistake. My qualifications and understanding are all moderate. Fortunately, I have been guided by a famous teacher to achieve success. However, compared to the true genius, my achievements are not worth mentioning."
Chen Ruoshi even praised: "It is even more rare for young people to be arrogant or impatient. I am at least a hundred times more crazy than you at your age, and I don't know how many troubles I have caused. You do have a good sister. At her age, I have achieved only half of hers at most. You live in the shadow of such a person, and you can still move forward without being humble or arrogant. The four words "being a world-renowned man" are enough to afford. What's even more rare is that you are so talented and intelligent!
“…The city lord won the award.”
"According to the tradition of Xiangzhou's immortal cultivation world, when you meet such a young and powerful man in the world, you usually have to give me some gifts to express your feelings. However, your Jinyu Zhao family is rich in the world, and you may not be fond of anyone I can give here... So, I'll give you a marriage."
Zhao Jincheng could only hear the illusion that he had: "Master Lord, what did you say...?"
Chen Ruoshi smiled very proudly and said, "I have a precious granddaughter who came back from Qingyun City some time ago. He was born with a good look, gentle and virtuous person. He is the best match for the world. And you came to celebrate my birthday at the same time, and you are destined to be destined to be missed. Such a good marriage is not to be missed, so you will get married in these few days!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire birthday party scene suddenly became quiet, and the eyes of more than a hundred people in the inner hall turned over.
People looked at Chen Ruoshi and looked at the wine jar in his hand. A question arose in their hearts: What kind of wine is this that can make the always massive amount of Chen Ruoshi drunk into nonsense?!
On the other hand, Zhao Jincheng was also amused and crying. Looking at Chen Ruoshi's sincere and passionate gaze, he could see that the other party was not talking drunk, but was really intending to match him and that precious granddaughter, but...
This is too abrupt, right? How could you come and get married after drinking two glasses of wine? And why did you say that you will get married in the past few days? Not to mention that you are the younger brother of the Lord of Jinyu City, even if you are a commoner, your marriage cannot be so hasty.
What's more, that precious granddaughter may be a rare beauty in Shen Ruoshi's eyes, but in his own eyes, he is probably just a vulgar fan.
Under the influence of the city lord's sister for many years, Zhao Jincheng has really not seen the so-called beauties for many years. Those so-called stunning beauty, compared with their sister, are just not as good as the class.
Of course, it is not that Zhao Jincheng's aesthetic standards have been infinitely raised, or he has become a madman in love with sisters. There are many women in the world who meet his aesthetic taste. However, it is impossible for him to fall in love with those women based on some reasons that are not worthy of being outsiders.
While considering how to reject Chen Ruoshi's absurd proposal of marriage in a polite way, Chen Ruoshi said again: "Look, she is there, isn't she more adorable than me?"
Zhao Jincheng subconsciously looked along Chen Ruoshi's finger direction and finally saw Chen Qingming.
This is the first time he has seen Chen Qingming’s real person.
Although the champion of the Qingyun Competition had already become famous all over the world before this, Zhao Jincheng only saw a few distorted portraits at most, and had never seen a living person.
Looking at the little girl who was as shiny as pink on the main table not far away, her long black hair, charming peach blossom eyes, and slender willow-leaf eyebrows... The most important thing is her childish and tender face, and her petite figure that had to be half-hanged on the round stool, Zhao Jincheng suddenly felt a surge of passion surge in his heart.
The next moment, he felt that his body was out of control and couldn't help but kneel down.
"Thank you grandpa for marriage!"
