Zhou Xuanqing cursed in his heart once more at this strange Kahal for ten thousand times, but his face was still radiant as he said, "Miss, please tell Mr. He that I am afraid of heights. If he insists on eating at such a high place, I'm afraid that he will be the only one left to enjoy the meal."
Being afraid of heights wasn't the most important thing. More importantly, if the two of them were to eat alone in such a high place, then she, Zhou Xueqing, would become a vulnerable group. Furthermore, Qi Ming and the rest wouldn't be able to prepare for the upcoming show.
"Yes, Miss Zhou, I will pass on the message to Mr. He."
As soon as the waiter left, Zhou Xuan Qing immediately went to Brother Qi Ming's table to discuss the countermeasures. Luo Qianyu, his best friend, said, "Sister Qing, since our target has already arrived at the dining hall, I think we can advance our plans. He will definitely be able to witness this show."
"Alright, then notify Qi Ming to come onstage." Zhou Xuanqing gritted his teeth.
Soon after, the quiet garden restaurant was filled with the cheerful sounds of a violin ensemble playing in unison at the very back of the band. They were holding roses in their hands and whistling, giving Zhou Xuanqing flirtatious glances.
Zhou Xuan Qing held back his laughter. Qi Ming's expression was just too exaggerated, as if he were a comedian in a comedy movie from the eighties. He had a strong sense of being on stage.
Qi Ming took out a rose and bit into it, dancing a tango dance as he approached Zhou Xuanqing. "My dear, marry me, I've already loved you for ten years. Marry me, and I'll definitely make you the happiest woman in the world!"
At this time, his friends who were lying in ambush nearby started to shout, "Marry him! Marry him … "
At one point, the atmosphere had turned fiery hot, and Zhou Xuanqing naturally followed suit. He received the rose, but before he could put on the ring, a man walked out from the other room.
The man wore a black suit. He was meticulous and his sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Looking at the scene before him, the man clenched his hands into fists. His obsidian eyes seemed to be burning with flames and his entire body emitted a dangerous aura.
"Lucy, it's you." The man's thin lips slightly parted as he stared at the blissful face of the woman as she accepted his proposal. In his eyes, there was a rage that could not be removed from Shang's face.
Perhaps it was due to the man's overbearing aura, but the attendant by his side trembled as he walked quickly to Zhou Xuan Qing's side. It was at this moment that Qi Ming's best friends, fearing that the spectators might not be able to witness such a good show today, fired a cannon salute in an attempt to add to the atmosphere.
"Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"
After a few cannon shots, the flowers and ribbons danced above their heads, including He Qingyu, who stood in the inner room with rose petals on his hair.
Zhou Xuanqing, who was in the middle of acting, was worried that He Qingcheng would come down, so he turned his head to look in the direction the waiter had left. Who knew that the instant he looked back, he would see a face that he thought he would never see again.
"Simon." Zhou Xuanqing spoke the name that had once been carved into his heart.
Time seemed to have frozen. Zhou Xuan Qing felt a sour feeling in his heart. The moment she saw Simon, all of her memories came flooding back. Right now, she only wanted to escape.
"Miss Zhou, I just said to Mr He that you were afraid of heights and he nervously followed me down. I …" After the waiter said something else, Zhou Xuanqing was no longer able to hear him.
He remembers that I was afraid of heights.
He Qingyu remembered when he was in school. One day, he bet with Lucky that the little girl lost and was dragged by him to ride the Ferris Wheel. After that day, he found out that the fearless Lucky was actually afraid of heights. After going up. Lucky didn't dare to open her eyes. She held him tight with her eyes closed the whole time, then "beat him up" when she came down, leaving her teeth marks on her arms.
When he heard that Miss Zhou was afraid of heights, he had accompanied his brother He Qingyu on a blind date. He had talked about the Zhou Family's purchase plan in passing, but he had never expected that what he saw was a scene where Lucy was going to marry another man.
"Heh, Lucy, Miss Zhou, long time no see." He Qingyu lightly said, as if greeting a stranger. However, his ice-cold voice caused Zhou Xueqing to halt in his steps.
At this time, Zhou Xueqing's face was covered with tears, and he felt a deep fear in his heart. Could it be that the person who was going to date her today was Simon? When they were overseas, they all had their own reasons. They didn't tell each other their Chinese names, but was it really necessary to be so cruel today to tear open her wound again?
"What's going on?" Another calm voice rang out. This was the male lead of today's blind date, He Qing Yi.
"Mister He, I don't know either …" The waiter was stuttering and sweating nervously.
Helian Haoqian couldn't figure out what was going on. He could see that the woman had her back facing him. According to the information that his secretary had told him, she should be Zhou Xuanqing.
"Miss Zhou, can you explain the situation here?"
This cold and unfamiliar voice made Zhou Xuanqing feel a sense of fear. He turned around and saw a man in a wheelchair beside the familiar yet unfamiliar Simon.
"Big brother, this Miss Zhou, your matchmaker just agreed to someone else's proposal." He Qingyu's voice was icy cold, his eyes never leaving Zhou Xueqing as he spoke.
Zhou Xuanqing was startled. Luckily, he wasn't the target of his blind date. However, were Simon and He Qingrou brothers? Zhou Xuanqing looked at He Qingyu with doubt in his eyes.
If today's blind date was successful, wouldn't she be Simon's sister-in-law?
The matters of the world were truly laughable. Zhou Xuanqing did not know whether to be sad or rejoice.
"Mr. He, I'm sorry, I... I can't marry you. " Zhou Xuan Qing didn't know what to say. Seeing Simon, her mind was in a mess. She couldn't stay in this awkward environment for another second.
Just as Zhou Xuanqing was about to turn around and leave, He Qingyue spoke up: "If that's the case, then I can't save your father and the Zhou family either."
"What did you say?" What happened to my father? " Zhou Xuanqing turned around and looked at He Qingyu with a puzzled expression.
"Why, Miss Zhou, didn't your father tell you the truth? "There's a problem with the Zhou family's property. Your father owes you 500 million in usury. If you don't pay it back next month, you will be …" However, the meaning was very clear. If he couldn't exchange it for usury, what kind of miserable ending would he face?
"No, my dad wouldn't do such a thing." Zhou Xuanqing was no longer able to maintain his calm. She finally understood why her parents had called her back, but she refused to believe them.
"Sigh, naive." "Since Miss Zhou has already agreed to someone else's proposal, I don't want to break the relationship between husband and wife. I hope Miss Zhou can tell your father to invite someone else. Although I am not a very good person, the He family will not marry an unknown woman."
Zhou Xuanqing no longer had the mood to ponder over the meaning behind the 'unclear woman' that he had mentioned. At this moment, all he wanted to do was find his father and find out exactly what had happened.
