Chapter 95: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 16
Lin Chenghua's nose was running and he had tears in his eyes, looking like a prisoner on death row. Everyone saw it and guessed what was going on, but they all just sighed and didn't say anything, because they were all smart enough not to ask "Hey, why are you crying?" at this moment, which would be too embarrassing. Even Yaoyao didn't mention it, not because she had forgiven him, but because she didn't want to make things worse.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last long and someone suggested changing places to continue. Where can we go? We've been playing mahjong all day, let's go sing KTV instead.
Everyone got up with a buzz and worked together to help Su Luo quickly clean up the dinner table, then headed out to their next destination.
In C City, these young masters and ladies are also considered to be of high status. Their parents are all influential people who don't lack money, so they can afford not to compromise themselves. They choose the best for everything, including food, drink, and entertainment. When it comes to singing, they naturally chose the KTV in the only five-star restaurant in C City that everyone often goes to.
The private room was very large and the sound equipment was also very good. Suoluo hadn't had so much fun in a long time, so he quickly blended in with everyone else and got along well with them.
No matter whether she was singing or playing dice, there were always eyes staring at her in a daze, but they were all deliberately ignored by her.
Duan Xuan felt a bit uneasy seeing his brother like this, so he pulled him up: "What's wrong with you, sitting there like an idiot? Aren't we at C City Zhang Xueyou's concert? Request a song!"
Lin Chenghua wasn't in the mood, but after thinking about it, he still got up and pressed a song on the machine.
He had just sat down when someone knocked on the door and came in. It was his little assistant who had been bought by Lou Tianyi.
"Excuse me, sorry to disturb you all?"
Lin Chenghua was too immersed in his own world to bother with him, but Duan Xuan and others who were familiar with him greeted him: "Little He, you're here to play too? Come sit down."
"I came with friends, and when I heard the manager say that Director Lin and you were all here, I just came over to say hello. Let me treat everyone to a drink!" He said as he poured himself a full cup first, carrying a bottle of wine and a single cup.
Everyone else also raised their cups in a polite gesture.
He toasted everyone, then walked up to Lin Chenghua and quickly filled his cup: "Mr. Lin, this toast is for you, thank you for your care and consideration all along."
So Lin Chenghua couldn't help but drink, and reluctantly responded with a sentence: "No need to be polite, you've worked hard usually." He tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp.
After seeing him finish drinking, Xiao He let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief: "Then I won't disturb everyone anymore, goodbye President Lin, goodbye everyone."
"Would you like to sit for a while longer?" someone politely asked them to stay.
"No, my friend is still waiting for me over there, bye." He casually took away the wine bottle and cups he brought.
"Hello!"
Su Luo knew that the wine had been tampered with, and there must be a hidden compartment inside. The one Xiao Hei poured for himself was fine, but the one he gave to Lin Cheng Hua had something added to it. On their way here, she already knew that the person following her had reported back to Lou Tian Yun, who also made arrangements to have them seize the opportunity and make a move tonight, and next they would probably make a move on her.
Before Lou Tianyi arrived, Lin Chenghua sang a song with ulterior motives - "How Much Love Can Be Reborn".
As the original campus prince, he still has something to show off, singing is one of them. Although he hasn't received professional training, he can definitely hold his own in KTV. So he's always been proud of it. Just now when Duan Xuan asked him to pick a song, he couldn't help but think of this one, feeling that it was the best reflection of his current mood, and also hoping that Xiaogu could hear it.
"Often blaming oneself for what should not have been done in the first place."
Often regret not keeping you...
The first sentence came out, and the originally lively private room fell eerily silent. It wasn't that no one had sung better than this before, but everyone should have been drinking and cheering, yet it was so quiet.
This is a sincere confession! A unanimous conclusion reached by everyone after exchanging eye contact.
"Who knows when we'll meet again in the sea of people"
Fate is so arranged that people have no choice but to obey.
These years have been so-so.
It's just like someone is missing.
And I gradually understand that you are still my unchanged concern...
Lin Chenghua's tune is not high-pitched, the whole song is sung in a low and soft tone, very flavorful, Su Luo Lo is listening leisurely.
"How much love can be reborn"
How many people are willing to wait...
Even in the chorus part, it brought a crying tone, possibly really heartfelt, even Su Luo Luo, who is so professional, felt moved. Unfortunately, however!!!
Regret now cannot wash away past mistakes, she won't forgive him just like that, Ji Xiaogu won't either, and neither will their children!
When he sang to "but didn't know if that love would still be there", he looked over at her, his eyes sincere, full of pain, deep emotion, remorse and entreaty, even with a hint of humility. Su Luo knew that in this moment, he was true-hearted. The gazes of the crowd also fell on her without leaving any trace, waiting for her reaction.
Unfortunately, Sulolo finally lowered his head and avoided their gaze.
If I had known today, why bother with the past!
Lin Chenghua's heart sank the moment he saw Su Luo lower her head, and he knew he had lost Xiaoguang completely. From childhood to adulthood, he had never felt so desperate before, not even when he found out that his injury would render him infertile, a pain that was like having a part of his body ripped open, so painful that it almost took his breath away.
Dawn valley, his dawn valley!
The voice changed tone, choked back several times.
However, he still insisted on singing the whole song. Because he remembered that the last sentence was "And I gradually understand that you are still my unchanged concern", no matter what, to let Xiaogu know that she is in his heart.
When the song ended, no one applauded, and no one thought Su Luo was wrong or heartless. After all, Lin Cheng Hua had abandoned her first, so it was understandable that Xiao Gu didn't forgive him, especially since he now had Yang Ning by his side. The whole scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the music video on the screen and the accompaniment still playing as usual.
Lin Chenghua didn't look at Su Luo anymore, and instead picked up his wine cup and drank wildly.
The several men sitting next to him could only pat his shoulder and accompany him in drinking, which was a silent comfort.
At this time, a waiter came in and broke the awkwardness of the room: "Which one is Miss Ji? There's someone looking for you outside."
"I am." Suoluo stood up.
"Who is it? I'll go with you to take a look." Yoyo wants to accompany her together.
"It's okay, maybe someone I know saw me outside earlier. I'll go and come back soon, you guys play first." She knew that the waiter was bribed by Lou Tianyi to deliberately lead her out, planning to meet up with him, but didn't want Yao Yao to follow her out and get involved.
"You'd better come back quickly, it's almost time for our duet."
"Uh-huh."
Su Luo followed the waiter out, and the waiter pointed her in the direction, saying he couldn't leave his post, then went back. Su Luo knew there was a trick inside, so she pretended to believe him and continued walking forward.
He walked quickly to the corner of the corridor and suddenly a person flashed in front of him.
This man was the one sent by Lou Tianren to follow her, his personal bodyguard, also a veteran, named Gangzi. Due to having received great kindness from Lou Tianren, he had always been loyal to him, and Lou Tianren valued him highly. Also because of his good martial arts skills and tight lips, many shady things were entrusted to him, and almost none of them had gone wrong. This matter was also handed over to him.
Su Luo had been on guard beforehand. Although it was very quick, she still caught a glimpse of the handkerchief in Zong Zi's hand and immediately held her breath.
As expected, Gangzi immediately covered Suoluo's mouth and nose with the handkerchief, which was undoubtedly an anesthetic.
Su Luo pretended to struggle for a while before going limp, and Nangong Che carried her towards the elevator, explaining to people they met along the way that his girlfriend had drunk too much and he was taking her back to rest.
KTV is on the third floor. Gangzi dragged Suoluo to a hotel room on the eighth floor, which he had booked in advance under Lin Chenghua's name.
Throw Sulolo onto the bed, then dig out her mobile phone from her pocket, edit two short messages and send them.
"I'm not feeling too well, probably had a bit too much to drink. I'm resting in room 803 upstairs. If you have time, could you come up and see me? Oh, don't mention it to the others, don't want them to worry. Also, there's something I wanted to talk to you about privately."
"Yao Yao, I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave first. Sorry about that, you guys keep playing, I'll catch up with you another day, sorry."
In order to be foolproof, they even investigated Sulolo's friendships, so the messages were flawless.
Ding Dong!
Ding Dong!
Lin Chenghua and Yao's phones rang one after another.
Lin Chenghua had almost given up hope, lying on the sand, pouring himself cup after cup of wine. However, his tolerance was too good, and no matter how much he drank, he couldn't get drunk. He just felt his body getting hotter and hotter, thinking it was the effect of the alcohol, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Hearing the phone ring, I was originally too lazy to look at it, but for some reason, I still picked it up. When I looked, it turned out to be Xiaogu!
He thought he had drunk too much and was seeing things.
Xiao Gu sent him a text message and even opened a room inviting him to go up?
It's hard to believe that I'm staring at the message word by word, my fingers still tracing on the screen, afraid that I misread it.
That's right, Xiaogu is waiting for him upstairs and wants to have a chat with him!
Haha! I knew Xiaogu wasn't such an heartless person, just now when I was singing she must have been moved too, it's just that she didn't dare respond to me in front of so many people, haha!
He almost jumped up and burst out laughing.
But seeing Xiaogu's reminder, he was afraid that everyone would tease her and make her unhappy, ruining this hard-won opportunity. He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, but the corner of his mouth still betrayed his current agitation and excitement.
Yao Yao also saw the message: "Xiao Gu, this ungrateful guy actually ran away first! Let's continue playing! This bastard, wait for sister to deal with her!"
"I'm leaving too, you guys continue!"
He hung his head in fear of others seeing the smile on his face.
"Be careful on your way." Everyone knew he was badly hurt tonight but didn't stop him.
"Uh-huh."
Gangzi finished sending a message, lit the essential oil lamp that had been prepared in advance, and then left the room with the door slightly ajar.
