Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

It was shockingly quiet all around. Apart from the sound of breathing and the faint sound of burning tobacco, nothing could be heard.

The light and shadow in the corridor were dim, and the scarlet burning of the cigarette butt on He Lianzhou's fingertips was like a spark, which flew out and jumped onto Zhu Xia's face, burning a large area.

Her heart seemed to stop beating briefly, and she stood there motionless, stiffly, staring at him blankly.

The man had a calm expression, wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit, and his aura was powerful, cold and ruthless.

Her anxious heart actually calmed down a little.

Zhu Xia stood still, and He Lianzhou smoked silently without disturbing her.

Many years ago, he probably couldn't have imagined that one day he would have to act according to the wishes of his ex-girlfriend, who was always soft-hearted and would not take tough measures.

There was a long silence.

He Lianzhou looked into Zhu Xia's clear eyes, tapped the ash with his long fingers, and handed the cigarette to her.

"Try?" he said in a low voice.

Zhu Xia stared at the cigarette, the butt was filled with smoke. He had just bitten the other end, so how could she try it?

His behavior was almost egregious.

She looked at his dignified and relaxed posture, calmed herself down, and refused: "No need."

He Lianzhou fixed his calm dark eyes on her, his hand holding the cigarette hanging naturally by his side.

"Zhu Xia, what are you afraid of?" He asked in a low voice, "Can I still eat you?"

Zhu Xiawei looked up at He Lianzhou, her pupils reflecting his handsome appearance. Her rosy lips moved, but the words got stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back.

At this moment, the ringing of a cell phone broke the tense atmosphere.

Zhu Xia lowered her head and rummaged through her bag, fumbled for her cell phone, and saw that the caller was Lin Jiayue.

She answered the call and held the phone to her ear. Lin Jiayue asked how it went and whether she had met the club owner. She said no, so Lin Jiayue asked if she had met a tall and handsome guy.

Zhu Xia subconsciously glanced at He Lianzhou, and was caught by the man who was looking at her.

"..."

Zhu Xia's finger holding the phone quietly pressed the volume button on the side of the phone and turned down the volume, so low that only she could hear it.

He Lianzhou took in her little movements and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Baby." Lin Jiayue's voice in the receiver contained a meaningful smile.

"I'm here."

"Did you have a romantic encounter tonight?"

"How to say."

"Your voice sounds a little sexy." Lin Jiayue said.

"The receiver of your cell phone is broken." Zhu Xia cleared his throat and came to a conclusion.

"Bye."

She hung up the phone and looked up at He Lianzhou again. The man raised his long fingers and tugged at his tie, and his plump and sexy Adam's apple caught her eye unexpectedly.

Zhu Xia was stunned for two seconds, then calmly pointed him in the direction: "Come and join Shang Xun's group. The room is at the end on the left side of the door."

He Lianzhou's deep eyes slowly moved across her fair face, and his voice was cold: "It's hard for you to remember Shang Xun."

"I remember he had some problems." Zhu Xia didn't understand and felt puzzled.

He Lianzhou curled his lips and smiled meaningfully.

Zhu Xia suddenly had an epiphany.

I don’t remember my ex-boyfriend with whom I was once in love, but I still remember the opposite sex with whom I had conflicts.

But it's really hard for her.

Zhu Xia knew that she would gain nothing by discussing this topic, so she lowered her eyes and glanced at his side, not knowing whether she was looking at the cigarette or something else.

"I'm leaving first, goodbye."

Zhu Xia turned around and left quickly.

He Lianzhou stared at her back and slowly put out his cigarette.

The corridor of the club was dimly lit, the floor was covered with brand new carpets, and two walls were hung with expensive oil paintings that also looked newly hung.

The luxurious and noble style... should have been changed when Shang Xun took over the EVG Club.

Zhu Xia frowned and thought. Five meters ahead of her stood a dark green figure. She looked closely and found it was Liang Yiying.

The other person should be waiting for her. He raised his eyes and saw her, and immediately stood up straight.

Liang Yiying started walking towards Zhu Xia. After taking three steps, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the man following Zhu Xia. She was stunned, and a look of helplessness flashed across her face.

Zhu Xia noticed her strangeness, turned his head to look at her, then turned back with no expression, stopped in front of Liang Yiying, and slowly said, "Let's talk?"

Liang Yiying looked behind Zhu Xia, hesitant.

"He went to find Shang Xun, don't worry about him." Zhu Xia said.

Liang Yiying thought for a few seconds and nodded: "My car is downstairs."

The two walked side by side to the elevator and stood in the car, both silent.

Zhu Xia lowered her eyes and slowly typed a message to Li Baize, telling him that the business matter was over.

The relationships among the various families in the upper class are complicated, and many people operate in a gray area.

If Li Baize investigates Shang Xun, he will undoubtedly be digging his own grave.

Li Baize said he knew and sent Zheng Tianyou's information.

Zhu Xia took a quick look.

With a 'ding' sound, the elevator door opened and two people walked out.

After they got in the car, Liang Yiying asked the driver to get off and wait outside.

The ceiling light in the car was bright. Liang Yiying took out a golden cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhu Xia.

Zhu Xia took it and inexplicably remembered the cigarette that He Lianzhou had just held in his mouth.

She was dazed for a moment, then calmly held the cigarette between her fingers and played with it.

"Sorry." Liang Yiying calmed down her emotions and said apologetically.

"Is there any point in saying this now?" Zhu Xia's clear eyes flashed with a calm light.

significance.

It really doesn't make sense.

Apologizing for something that happened long ago doesn't make it any less hurtful.

The person who apologizes does not necessarily think that he is wrong, it is just that apologizing will make his conscience feel better.

Liang Yiying was born after her father had a one-night stand outside. Her mother loved her father and did not abort the baby after she became pregnant. She gave birth to her and raised her alone.

When Liang Yiying was nine years old, her mother could no longer bear the life of raising a child alone and took her to the Liang family to recognize her relatives.

After all, illegitimate children cannot be made public.

Liang's father couldn't keep them in Australia, so her mother was sent to live abroad.

After Liang Yiying's 18th birthday, her father sent her abroad.

After knowing that Liang Yiying had mixed into Shang Xun's circle, Liang's father asked Liang Yiying to get close to He Lianzhou.

He Lianzhou is very difficult to approach. Ordinary methods cannot get close to him, so one can only use tricks.

At that time, Liang Yiying was taking the route of a pure and harmless little white flower.

She openly and secretly spread the news that the Liang family might marry into the He family, and then innocently went to He Lianzhou and said that she didn't know why someone spread the rumors.

Unfortunately, he was stopped by Shang Xun before he could get close.

Liang Yiying could deceive most people, but she couldn't fool Shang Xun.

Shang Xun warned Liang Yiying that he was embarrassing her in public, and it was Zhu Xia who stepped forward to protect her.

It was also on that day that Zhu Xia and He Lianzhou broke up completely.

Liang Yiying was speechless for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You are with him because of me..."

"No." Zhu Xia denied, "What happened between me and He Lianzhou has nothing to do with anyone else."

Liang Yiying's tense back relaxed a little, and she asked in confusion, "Then why did you break up?"
