这场宴会,由荣家的继承人发起,是专门为苏家的小公主顾风准备的.活动进行到一半时,小公主离开了会场,退到了一个包间.
她的哥哥荣兆男突然接到了一个电话.她无意中听说他应该在这个时候接人.
荣兆南拿起外套,准备离开.
"赵南哥,你要去哪里?宴会甚至还没有结束.
荣兆南表情冰冷,掩饰着自己的情绪,轻轻地从她的手上抽离.
"我要去接一个人.我很快就会回来的.请卓航留下来陪你.
如果他真的想离开,她知道她无法阻止他.
"赵南哥,你要接的人...是吗...沈明?
荣兆南的脸色顿时黑了下来.
"别胡说八道了."
顾风吓了一跳,睁大了眼睛.荣兆南其实已经对她生气了.她低下头,声音缩成耳语.
"对不起.我不该阻止你.赵南哥,你去吧.我等你回来.
"嗯."
就这样,荣兆南离开了俱乐部.
在楼下的车上,常书记坐在副驾驶座上,而司机则不知道下一步该去哪里,与常书记交换了一下眼神.
常温转过身来,看了一眼后座的老板.荣兆南把玩着他的打火机,陷入了沉思.
他转身对司机摇了摇头,示意他保持沉默.
荣兆南确实在发呆.
他回想起刚刚接到的电话.
一个女人打电话给他,告诉他她在郊区的工厂,正在和某人谈判,并让他来接她,因为已经太晚了.
他拿起手机时,手中的打火机发热了.
屏幕亮起,通话记录显示他与她的通话持续了不到一分钟.
那短暂的一分钟感觉就像一把刀子刺在他的眼睛里.
他把电话扔到一边,张秘书接住了电话.
他听到了老板在电话那头冰冷的声音.
"给她打电话.告诉她,我现在在顾风的宴会上,来不上.我今晚没办法接她.
楼下,荣兆南的车虽然已经开走了,但并不是开往郊区,而是朝着他的家驶去.
楼上,顾峰对此一无所知,只知道赵南阁一旦走了,他就不会回来了.
坐在包间里,她感到无比不安.
她躺在沙发上,摆弄着手机,给她的朋友发了一条信息.
突然,她闻到了一股古龙水的味道.她旁边的沙发上有一个轻微的凹痕,表明有人在她身边坐下了.
她转过身来,看到海明坐在她旁边.
这场宴会是她的兆南阁出于愧疚而组织的,只是为了让她振作起来.所以,在活动开始之前,她已经给海明发了一条信息.
海明在京都长大,最近几年才回到海狮.他在言语和行动上都非常直接.
Seeing the little princess looking upset, Hai Ming's temper flared.
"Xiao Feng, I've heard everything about what's going on."
He should have stayed silent, but the moment he spoke, Gu Feng turned around and tears began to fall from her eyes.
"You're just like the others. You came to laugh at me, didn't you?"
Gu Feng's tears kept flowing, and Hai Ming couldn't control his anger.
"Who's like Rong Zhaonan? He said he'd take you out, but halfway through, he disappeared without a trace. I don't care about that. I'm really upset for you."
As he spoke, Gu Feng cried even more.
"You're the only one who can see my suffering. You don't know... Su family, my brother, my mom... they've all changed..." She wiped her tears, trying to act strong. "Forget it. I shouldn't even tell you. You won't understand. I'm not even Su family's real daughter. I'm not even a legitimate daughter. The true Su family lady is Shen Ming... She…"
The mention of a "bastard" immediately struck a painful chord with Hai Ming.
He was a bastard himself, abandoned by his biological parents and raised by his grandfather in Kyoto. He hated being reminded of it, more than anything.
"So what if you're not their biological daughter? You grew up with the Su family. I don't believe they'll disown you. You mentioned your sister—what's going on with her? Did she bully you?"
"She didn't bully me, but…" Gu Feng lowered her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "She seems to really dislike me and even talks badly about me to my mom."
Hai Ming slammed his fist on the coffee table in front of him.
"This isn't bullying? Xiao Feng, you're too easy to please. Everyone in Haishi knows that you're under my protection. Shen Ming, right? If your mom's blind, I'm not. Whoever dares to bully you will regret it."
Hai Ming's temper was hard to control.
Out of his sight, Gu Feng wiped her eyes again, and as she lowered her head, a sharp, calculating glint flashed in her eyes.
