Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 133: Morning Heat Rising (1)

Because of the idea of ​​warding off disasters and avoiding risks, whenever something happened to Zhu Xia when they were young, Song Chengyu thought he was the one who harmed her.

So he began to control everything about her and eliminate from her world anyone who might be a threat.

When nothing happened, he was very kind to her and would protect her.

But their childhood sweetheart relationship was not enough to make Zhu Xia determined to fulfill the marriage contract.

She fulfilled the marriage contract because of Mr. Song's love and upbringing, and because of Song Chengyu's father's life-saving grace.

Song Chengyu also knew this.

When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he hated the marriage arranged by his family for a while. He kept trying to prove that Xia Xia was not important to him, but the facts showed that she was very important.

*

This afternoon, the current Director of the Hong Kong Region, Feng Shihui, specially invited Song Chengyu to a dinner at the Rosewood Hotel on the Kowloon waterfront. Most of the people present were business and political celebrities.

The guests were seated and the sound of laughter filled the room. Just then, a secretary came in and whispered something in Feng Shihui's ear. Feng Shihui stood up with a smile and said he was going to welcome a distinguished guest.

The door of the box was opened, and the man walked in calmly, his face indifferent but with impeccable manners. The people present called him "Mr. He", "President He", and "Mr. He".

He has risen to a high position at a young age and owns a business empire. He has the intimidation and carelessness of a superior, but unlike the wealthy people in power in Beijing and Macau, he has a low-key and restrained demeanor.

He Chuyin is in charge of the He family's mainland business. Song Chengyu had been in contact with He Chuyin before, and this was his first meeting with the mysterious leader of the He family.

He almost instantly determined that He Lianzhou was the man who was entangled with Zhu Xia.

No wonder there is no news at all after searching for so long.

If it was He Lianzhou, it would make sense.

"I haven't seen this person before, Director Feng, why don't you introduce him to me?" The man sat down, his voice was his usual low, magnetic voice, revealing a coldness that was extremely polite.

"Mr. Song Chengyu from the Song family in Beijing."

"It turns out to be Mr. Song. I've heard of you before." He Lianzhou took the initiative to introduce himself, which was rare. "He Lianzhou."

Song Chengyu understood immediately.

The other party knew about his relationship with Xia Xia.

"Mr. He, I have long heard of your name." They are all businessmen, good at disguise, and Song Chengyu put on a fake mask in an instant, "If I had known that Mr. He would come today, I would have brought my fiancée with me and personally handed the invitation to Mr. He."

Men talk about career and women.

Very normal.

Others present did not think there was anything wrong.

"Please write my wife's name on the invitation." He Lianzhou said calmly.

Feng Shihui, who was standing by, heard this and asked in surprise, "Madam? Are you married?" Why did he hear his daughter say no?

He Lianzhou nodded and pursed his lips indifferently, "My wife is also from Beijing."

The moment Song Chengyu lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed across him.

He was sure that Zhu Xia was not married to anyone in China.

But abroad...he had no way of confirming whether Zhu Xia had been cheated.

"It must have taken a lot of effort for Mr. He to get her family to agree to marry a girl from Beijing to Hong Kong," said Song Chengyu.

"Which family is Mr. Song's fiancée from?" someone asked.

"The daughter of the Song family."

"Song family?"

"My fiancée and I grew up together, eating and living together."

Song Chengyu paid attention to He Lianzhou's reaction. The latter's mood did not change much. He curled his lips slightly, as if in sarcasm.

After the dinner, Song Chengyu asked someone to check Zhu Xia’s information and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had not married abroad.

And now, he looked at Xiao Qingmei and couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Song Chengyu said coldly: "Xia Xia, do you still want to marry me now?"

Zhu Xia fell into deep thought.

In these eighteen years, the factors that determined her marriage to Song Chengyu have never changed.

And He Lianzhou...

"Xia Zi, why are you standing here?"

You Feng's casual voice broke the silence. He seemed to have just noticed Song Chengyu. "So you're talking to Mr. Song."

Zhu Xia and Song Chengyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw You Feng wearing a black T-shirt, casual pants, a baseball cap, and holding a dozen beers in his hand. He looked cynical.

You Feng glanced at the food that fell in front of the car and roughly guessed what happened. He raised an eyebrow at Zhu Xia, "Not going up?"

Zhu Xia was in a trance for a second, and said to Song Chengyu: "I have submitted my resignation and will return to Beijing in half a month. During this period, I want to concentrate on perfecting the medical project."

The implication is, don't look for her, and don't take her back by force.

Their marriage cannot be explained in a few words, so they must first return to the capital, to the Song family.

Zhu Xia ignored Song Chengyu's expression. She picked up the paper bag containing food and walked into the building.

Taking the elevator and pressing the floor button, You Feng glanced at her: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's a bit messy." Zhu Xia wanted to lean against the wall of the car, but when her back was touched, she stood up again.

"Just don't faint." said You Feng.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating, but Zhu Xia didn't want to take it out at all.

The elevator opened with a ding, and she handed the food in her hand to You Feng, "I have no appetite, so you eat it."

"Also, don't call me Xia Zi." Zhu Xia turned around and said with disdain. "What Feng Zi Sha Zi... This is not the show "My Fair Princess"."

You Feng saw her taking the elevator again and asked, "Zhu Yingtai, where are you going?"

Zhu Xia said: "Let's have a pajama party with Yueyue, do you want to come?"

You Feng snorted, "I don't want to play house."

Zhu Xia ignored him. As the elevator was descending, she took out her cell phone and saw the caller ID was [He Lianzhou].

She took a deep breath and suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

Zhu Xia was not afraid of Song Chengyu coming to the port, nor was she afraid that he would know that she was having affairs with other men.

She was only worried about He Lianzhou.

No matter how he reacted to hearing about the marriage, she would not feel good.

Cold sweat began to appear on Zhu Xia's palms again. Her heart was beating wildly. She took a few deep breaths before she felt better.

Zhu Xia didn't take a taxi, but took the subway. The night subway was crowded. She sat in her seat, opened WeChat on the way, and emptied her mind, continuing to browse the chat history with her grandfather that she hadn't finished reading last time.

After a moment, she raised her head and looked out the window. It was dark, and Zhu Xia's face was reflected in the window glass. She saw herself.

It’s hard to describe the expression on his face, as if he was looking through a window at himself in another world.

There was a cold wind blowing in the subway, and Zhu Xia hugged her arms unconsciously. She got off before her stop.

After getting out of the subway, Zhu Xia's brain, which was dizzy from the wind, finally started to function normally.

I should have slept at home earlier.

People always do some incredible things.

Zhu Xia stood on the Avenue of Stars and looked into the distance. The lights on both sides of Victoria Harbour were reflected in the water, forming a corridor of light extending to the distant horizon.

The sea breeze gently brushed her cheeks, carrying the salty smell of the sea and the hustle and bustle of the city.

The phone rang again.

Zhu Xia's nose twitched slightly as she swiped across the line to answer the call. She said softly, "He Lianzhou."
