On the way home, my father didn't say a word. After entering the house, he gestured for me to go to the study to talk. My father stood by the window and pondered for a long time: "Li Er, do you want to ask me why I arranged your marriage?"
"No, you must have a reason for doing this. Since I was young, you taught me to obey you absolutely."
"Then you didn't complain? You didn't think about rebelling against my arrangement? "My father turned to look at me.
"Even if my heart was unwilling, I knew that the sacrifice I made would benefit you, our family, and the Red Minghui." In fact, I knew that in front of him, no matter how much I resisted, it would all be futile. He was like a demon in the dark, holding all your weak points. No matter how much you struggled, he wouldn't show any mercy. Perhaps in his eyes, I'm just a handy weapon that he can use to get rid of his dissidents.
"In the past few years, the conflict between the Red Minghui and the Kurosawa has become more and more intense. Their subordinates gathered together to fight, smashing shops, and these are all trivial matters. One of our subordinates borrowed money from them, and they even used him to steal our internal secrets. Fortunately, we discovered it early. You tell me, how could I not be on guard?"
"If that's the case, then just shed all pretense of cordiality. Why do you still want to arrange a marriage? It's not like we're in ancient times, selling children. "
"Their power is still a mystery. The marriage between the two families, not only can stabilize the stalemate between the two sides, it can also help me obtain a lot of internal information. This is also one of the main reasons why I want you to marry them. Help me investigate their background. Tell me, besides you, who else would be suitable for this role? "My father walked over and patted my shoulder.
"Okay, I understand." The moment I left the study and closed the door, my heart inexplicably hurt. Perhaps in his eyes, I wasn't his daughter, but a trump card.
Returning to the bedroom, I collapsed on the sofa, my thoughts a mess: I was going to marry a strange man and enter a strange family. Behind that family was half of A City's Kurosawa. I was going to face a lot of unpredictable dangers. I was going to fight alone, no longer have a family to back me up, and no capable assistants at my disposal.
Dang dang dang. "Is Li 'er there? Mom's coming in. " My mother pushed the door open and entered. Looking at me, she sat down beside me. "Child, do you hate your father?"
I shook my head. Mother rubbed my head affectionately. "Our Li Er has grown up. There are many things that you need to face alone. You have sacrificed yourself. Mother knows that you feel wronged in your heart, but you don't want to say it out loud. But which girl doesn't want to find a man she loves to spend the rest of her life with? Silly child, you don't have to shoulder everything alone. You still have us. "
Feeling the warmth of his mother's palm, compared to the coldness in his heart, this trace of warmth was enough.
"Don't worry, I won't let you worry. I know what I should do." Looking at his mother's relieved smile, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it.
She talked a lot with her mother about the things that happened in America and her plans for the future. Before she knew it, it was already night time.
"You have a new message." A message came from my phone. I picked up the phone. After reading it, I sneered.
"What's wrong?" Mother asked.
"Nothing, I'm going out." Picking up my coat, I walked out of the house.
There was a message from an unknown number on my phone. There were only six words: Shallow Bar, Duanmu Que. I was very surprised by Duanmu Que's actions. Based on my understanding of him, he definitely didn't ask me to meet for a simple chat and wine tasting. Then I have to meet him and see what kind of person he is.
Shallow Bar is a highly profitable entertainment place under the Kurosawa. On the surface, it doesn't look any different from a normal bar, but it is rumored that a lot of shady deals are done in private. Duanmu Que invited me to their place, so they will definitely "treat" me well.
When I reached the bar, I pushed open the door and walked in. A waiter greeted me: "Hello, do you have a reservation?"
"I'm looking for Duanmu Que."
"Miss Leng, please follow me." The waiter led me to a booth in the corner of the bar. There were a total of five people sitting in the booth: three men and two women. The few of them gathered together and chatted while drinking and laughing. Duanmu Que was sitting in the middle of the booth. The two women sat beside him and nestled in his embrace seductively. The three of them were chatting and laughing.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Leng? You took your time, did you crawl here?" Duanmu Que saw me and his words were full of sarcasm.
"What business do you have with me?" I ignored his sarcasm and directly asked him why he called me here.
"I don't have any business with you. Since you don't want to get married, I want to take you out on a date and have some fun with you. Hahaha." I really didn't want to see Duanmu Que's evil face.
"Young Master Que, is this the fiancée you were talking about? She's too lousy, she's not worthy of you!" A woman nestled in his arms glanced at me.
"That's right, that's right, she's not even as good as us. Young Master Que, why don't you marry us too?" Another woman echoed with a smile.
Duanmu Que looked at me and sneered: "You? Compared to her, you're nothing. How can sluts like you compare to Miss Leng's worth? Right, Leng! Bang! Li! "
I walked around the coffee table and grabbed a bottle of wine. I sat in front of Duanmu Que and looked into his eyes. The distance between us was only one centimeter. I could even feel the frequency of his breathing. I opened the bottle and drank the wine in one gulp. I wiped the corner of my mouth, looked into his eyes and asked: "Tell me, how do you want to compete?"
"Good, very good." Duanmu Que clapped his hands and looked at me. He used his index finger to lift my face: "As expected, a righteous face is much better looking. It's a pity that you have such a beautiful face. If you weren't a Red Minghui, I might not hate you so much. Since you're so tactful, then I won't let you lose too badly.
Do you know Killer? "I shook off his hand and stood up:" Anything is fine. Don't be so sure about winning or losing. "
"Okay, don't say it so early. If you lose, then take a nude selfie and post it online with the caption: I, Cold Glaze, am a slut fed by Duanmu Que. How about that? "I could feel Duanmu Que's eyes were about to swallow me up. It was very uncomfortable.
"What if you lose?" I asked.
Duanmu Que stood up: "Ridiculous, how can I lose? Okay, if I lose, I'll ask my father to cancel the engagement and sign a contract with your Red Minghui. The contract will be as effective as the engagement. How about it? You don't have to marry me to get the result you want. Isn't that the result you want? "
