Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen - Chapter 1399

Chapter 1399: Qingshui Shang

Du Zheng frowned, but did not deny it.

Xia Yingluo looked at him in disbelief. She hadn’t seen him for a long time, so why did things suddenly change? She asked: “What about Ling’er? Does Ling’er like you? It would actually be pretty good if the two of you could be together.”

Du Zheng said: “She is not suitable for the Du family.”

Xia Yingluo was stunned for a moment: “What’s not suitable? Ling’er has such a good temper and is not someone who will cause trouble.”

Du Zheng said: “You don’t understand.” Xia Yingluo is the sweet girl of heaven, how can she understand how difficult it is for those powerless girls in wealthy families to survive? In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, few people who married into a wealthy family as a commoner would end up well in the end. Not to mention that the complex environment of the Du family was far less simple than that of the Li family. And even the current simplicity of the Li family was obtained by Li Lei’s sacrifice of life.

Xia Yingluo changed the question: “Does Ling’er know you like her?”

Du Zheng said: “Don’t tell her. Just give her the things and don’t ask anything else.”

Xia Yingluo wanted to say something else, but Du Zheng had already slightly emphasized his tone: “Yingluo, don’t worry too much.”

Xia Yingluo had no choice but to sigh. She had known since she was a child how stubborn her family friend’s brother was and how stubborn he was, and how he would not listen to advice. Now she could only hope that Jin Ling’er didn’t sink too deeply, otherwise she would be devastated.

She took the diamond hairpin and returned to her seat.

 The young masters and ladies gathered around the seats have dispersed, and the meandering water drinking ceremony has officially begun.

The organizer, Mr. Yu, announced the rules: “We are all young people here. Don’t be too restrained. Writing poetry is so boring. How about we use truth or dare instead? I will put the little wine bottle in my hand in a while.” In the tray, I float along the water channel. Whichever seat I reach, I will designate a person on the seat to play truth or dare. Then, the person who has played the game continues to put the small wine bottle into the water channel, and designates the next seat. One person plays the game, and so on.”

These young people have usually played truth or dare, but triggering it in the form of a meandering water bottle is new, and everyone is eager to try it.

Amidst the excitement, Li Shaohui asked Xia Yingluo in a low voice: “Where were you just now?”

Xia Yingluo had already put away her hairpins and replied casually: “I was chatting with brother Du Zheng.”

“Du Zheng seems to have something on his mind.” Li Shaohui and Du Zheng have been close friends for many years, and they have long noticed that Du Zheng is unusual today, but what is strange is that Du Zheng is chatting with his sister instead of him, who has always been on good terms with him.

Xia Yingluo smiled lightly: “Okay, don’t ask, I will let you know when it’s time to let you know.” She is not a gossip person, this is about two friends, and she doesn’t want to tell others about it as a chat after dinner. , not even his biological brother.

Li Shaohui knew her nature, and when he heard her say this, he understood that it was definitely not a free time. He couldn’t help but glance at Du Zheng with some worry.

Over there, the wine bottle in the meandering water stopped. Mr. Yu designated a young man sitting on the seat and asked him to choose truth or dare. The young man chose truth or dare and gave him a gift he had prepared in advance. He gave it to the girl he liked, and it attracted a lot of ridicule, either kindly or jealously. This is the true meaning of blind date activities, even a small game has an undercurrent. If all the families here are outside, they are all forces that can influence the changes in the situation by just stamping their feet. Which family can marry with which family, which family should break up with which family, it is no small matter. The wine bottle continued to float along the river, and after a few stops, it landed on the Pei family’s seat.

The young master who placed the jug was about to appoint someone when he saw Pei Yan pick up the jug with a smile and asked with a pair of heavily made-up eyes: “Master Cui, please give me this opportunity. I haven’t played this for a long time.” It’s a game, I’m very itchy.”

It was originally a small game, and there was no target person for Mr. Cui at the Pei family table, so he smiled openly and casually asked Pei Yan two questions for him to choose. Someone in several other seats whispered: “Pei Yan? Isn’t she already engaged? Why are you here to join in the fun?”

“I heard that the last engagement ceremony didn’t go well, and she and her fiancé also had a long-term quarrel. Who knows if they will break up?”

“Ha, that fiancé? I heard that he has some strange disease. He can smell his body stinking when he gets close. It’s so scary! I don’t know how Pei Yan, a rich lady, can endure it.”

“What a pity, I snatched Zhao Yixuan away from another woman with all my heart, thinking that what I grabbed was a treasure, but in fact it was a bug!” Someone chuckled, full of schadenfreude.

“What other woman?” someone else said, “The one she robbed was the eldest lady of the Li family. She even dared to rob Miss Yingluo’s man! However, she really saved Miss Yingluo’s life. Who knew that Zhao Yixuan would later be cured? Bad and strange disease? This is fate! Hahaha.”

The voice of gloating gradually grew louder. When Pei Yan heard it, his face turned ugly and he glared at Xia Yingluo who was diagonally opposite.

Xia Yingluo’s eyes met hers and she sneered back. She glanced at the Pei family’s seats and found that Pei Ziheng had left at some point. Sure enough, there are no tigers or monkeys in the mountains who can be called kings? The remaining candidates for the Pei family’s heirs are not convinced by anyone, and there is a surging undercurrent.

Xia Yingluo watched with interest as Pei Yan’s brother Pei Chengyou put on a bad face and said in a deep voice: “Yan Yan, you already have a fiancé, stop being playful and give the wine bottle to your sister Weiwei. “

Another man also persuaded with a smile, but he looked like he was watching a good show: “Yanyan, listen to your brother and put down the wine bottle quickly. Those who know know that you are ignorant, and those who don’t know think you don’t want it.” Zhao Yixuan is the hero of our family. It was hard for you to catch him, but you can’t let him go and let him go.”

What he said made Pei Yan glare angrily: “What kind of hero is he?! I just want to play this game, can he control it?!”

Ever since Zhao Yixuan got a strange disease and her family refused to let her break off her engagement, she had been holding back her anger. At this time, she was furious, without caring about the occasion. Many people present showed contempt, secretly thinking that this girl was uneducated. As a young lady of the Pei family, she did not know how to respect the emperor’s capable general. This was not a marriage, but an enmity.

“My sister is like this, and my brother is not much better. If the Pei family falls into the hands of these two brothers and sisters, it will be ruined sooner or later.” A new round of whispers began.

 Pei Chengyou looked even more ugly when he saw the faces of everyone, and secretly cursed his sister for being stupid. Not only would he be embarrassed, but he might also be hurting his great career!
