Chapter 112 You were the one who betrayed me last time.
"Mom!" I went over and hugged her. "It's okay, it's all over now, Mom, don't be afraid."
After watching the video that Liu Yanfei gave me, I understood why my mother was so traumatized.
Shen Yuan is simply inhuman!
He always acted like a respectable person, but I never expected him to be such a beast!
So perhaps Shen Yuan's death in his previous life had no direct connection with Gu Heng?
My mother gradually calmed down. She stopped crying and making a scene, and instead started muttering something to herself.
It's just that the sound was too soft, so I couldn't hear it clearly.
"Mom?" I let go of her. "Mom, look at me."
My mom held her head in her hands and kept talking.
"Mom!" I called out.
She had no reaction.
Sister Lan stepped forward: "Professor Shen, why don't you let your mother get some rest?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Go and get the medicine."
"Okay." Sister Lan took out a medicine bottle from the drawer and handed it to me.
I coaxed my mom to take the pills, and she fell asleep quickly.
"Sister Lan, you go and get some rest. I'll stay with her tonight," I said.
"Professor Shen, you have work tomorrow, so let me do it." Sister Lan looked at me.
"It's just one night. I don't have anything important to do tomorrow." I explained, "I'll be out of town tomorrow, so I'll need to trouble you. Go and get some rest."
"Okay." Sister Lan stopped refusing and went back to her room to sleep.
I felt a pang of heartache looking at the wrinkles that had appeared on my mother's face.
Did she go mad because of this in her past life?
There were so many things I didn't know before.
-
evening.
I drove from the lab to the hotel where the banquet was being held.
This banquet was once again held at the Rose Hotel, which Mu Xi herself runs.
She came out as soon as I arrived.
Seeing that I was still wearing the same clothes as I did to work, she pulled me upstairs.
"I knew you were too busy to prepare your own clothes, but Zi Die and I thought of that and specially prepared a formal dress for you." Mu Xi was prepared.
"What's there for me to dress up for?" I explained helplessly, "I'm not the main character."
“But you’re the protagonist’s best friend.” Mu Xi pulled me into the presidential suite, then pulled over a row of clothes: “Pick one.”
I raised my hand, but before I could even choose, she picked up a red dress: "This one, Zi Die and I both think it suits you. It's burgundy, elegant and sophisticated."
"I haven't said anything yet," I said sheepishly.
"Then you don't need to say anything. You must be tired after a long day. I'll take care of it." She shoved the dress into my hands, pushed me into the room, and urged me before closing the door, "Hurry up, you still need to put on makeup."
I obediently did as instructed.
This dress looks perfectly normal from the front, with a fitted off-the-shoulder design and a small V-neck. However, the back is open with a large area of cutouts, and the hem is shaped like an elegant fishtail, swaying gracefully as you walk.
The size is perfect, as if it were tailor-made.
I came out after changing my clothes.
Mu Xi looked at me with a grin: "You look really good."
"Won't this time be another time you and Huo Yubai wearing matching outfits?" I wondered warily.
"No, no," Mu Xi laughed. "What a coincidence! Besides, at these kinds of business banquets, people usually wear black suits and white shirts. Don't worry."
"You still say that you were the one who betrayed me last time?" I said angrily.
"I promise not this time." Mu Xi said sincerely.
I snorted and decided to believe her this once.
She pressed me down in front of the dressing table and opened the makeup case on it.
Mu Xi's makeup skills are very proficient; I can rest assured that I can entrust my face to her.
She finished drawing it for me in less than twenty minutes.
Moreover, her makeup was not heavy at all; instead, it was fresh and natural.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?" Mu Xi stood behind me, gently placing her hands on my shoulders. "Put this set of jewelry on."
"I'm not wearing it anymore," I said. "It's too much trouble."
“No, this is a sponsorship that Zi Die got. Tonight, the models are going to wear it for the show. If you don’t wear it, Zi Die won’t be able to explain it to them,” Mu Xi explained.
"But I'm not a model," I said sheepishly.
“Zi Die didn’t hire any models; she just arranged for a few people she knew,” Mu Xi said with a smile. “Just cooperate.”
“Okay.” I nodded.
Mu Xi smiled and said, "Through these past few days of getting to know her, I've learned that Ling Zidie has investments in various industries. She really doesn't sit idle."
“Yes.” I explained, “When I treated her leg, she was not yet eighteen, but she already knew how to make money using the internet.”
"She really comes from a wealthy and powerful family," Mu Xi remarked.
I chuckled: "You are too."
“How can the Mu family compare to the Ling family? I don’t have the courage to challenge the Mo family, but look at Zi Die, she can turn her back on Mo Ruchu so easily.” Mu Xi whispered, “I heard that the Mo family wants Mo Lei and Zi Die to marry each other.”
I frowned deeply.
“This is what Zi Die told me; she didn’t agree.” She whispered, “But Zi Die said that her future husband will be chosen from the Mo family and the Huo family.”
Given the Ling family's status, these two families are indeed the most suitable.
"That depends on her own choice." I paused. "We're not in her position, so it's not appropriate for us to say anything."
"But what if she marries into the Huo family? Wouldn't that mean marrying Huo Yubai?" Mu Xi asked with a worried expression.
“It would be better if it were the two of them, but…” I glanced at myself in the mirror: “Zi Die is not one to compromise. She knows Huo Yubai’s feelings for me, and Huo Yubai is not one to be manipulated by anyone. But I’m also afraid that Zi Die will really choose Mo Lei.”
"If you're so worried, why don't you pick one for her? She trusts you the most anyway," Mu Xi said.
I shook my head: "I don't want to get involved in this. Let her choose for herself."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go." Mu Xi took my arm.
I smiled and went downstairs with her to the banquet hall.
The main color of the banquet hall tonight is beige, a color that Ling Zidie particularly likes.
Although her name is "Purple Butterfly", she doesn't really like the color purple.
"Sister Shen Yan." Ling Zidie was still wearing a purple dress tonight.
Purple is practically her signature color.
Within the circle, seeing purple immediately reminds one of her.
"You look so beautiful in red!" Ling Zidie circled around me like a little butterfly.
"I haven't thanked you yet. You're already so busy, and you still helped me prepare the dress." I said with a smile.
"There's no need to thank me. It was just a phone call. We guessed you wouldn't prepare, so we took care of it for you." Ling Zidie said happily, "Tonight is the opening ceremony of our Zimu Company, and you are our most important guest."
It turns out that the company they collaborated on was called Zimu.
"Sister Shen Yan, there's something I want to tell you, it's just..." Ling Zidie began cautiously.
Before she could finish speaking, a voice that displeased me came: "Shen Yan."
