Chapter 310

Engagement banquet

Su Ruolan was frozen. She knew that before she came back, Mu Chengzhou and Ruan Mengyu had announced their engagement, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

She stared at Mu Chengzhou, took out an invitation, put it on the table and said faintly, "this is for Mr. Guan. I heard that he is your cousin, so you can hand it over to him."

Su Ruolan's lips trembled and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "why do you have to marry her? Do you really like her? I know I shouldn't have lied to you or left you alone... Are you lying to me?"

"I have no reason to tell you this." Mu Chengzhou frowned and said unhappily, "Su Ruolan, are you here to talk about these inexplicable nonsense?"

His expression is very cold, without a trace of emotion. No matter how he looks, he doesn't have the meaning of disguise. Su Ruolan finally understood that Mu Chengzhou was not joking or simply angry. He really planned to marry Ruan Mengyu.

In despair, Su Ruolan still remembered the most important purpose of coming to see Mu Chengzhou. She took a deep breath and said in a faint cry, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this. I really have something important to tell you."

After that, she stopped looking at Mu Chengzhou's expression and said to herself, "I'm sorry about my aunt's injury before. But if you can, I hope you can let my aunt go to a place where no one knows for treatment, and don't let anyone close to her, including Mu's family except you."

"Why?"

Mu Chengzhou didn't seem to think Su Ruolan would say such a thing at all, and his eyebrows frowned more tightly: "her current situation needs to be taken care of. It's understandable that her family goes to see her from time to time."

"Absolutely not!"

Su Ruolan was in a hurry. She knew the seriousness of the matter and said in a hurry: "no one else can know her whereabouts except you. Mu Chengzhou, I know you don't believe me, but it's easy for you to do it. Just for your aunt, okay?"

But mu Chengzhou was still unmoved. He frowned, as if thinking about what Su Ruolan said. After a moment, he said coldly, "give me a reason to do so."

"..." Su Ruolan gritted her teeth. She didn't know where to start. If it was Mu Chengzhou at the beginning, she would naturally understand her, but now Mu Chengzhou only regarded her as a person who has nothing to do with her. If he said his reasons, he would only think it was an excuse made up by himself.

Mu Chengzhou obviously lost his patience. He sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "forget it, I shouldn't be here today. You go and don't have to come to me for such boring things in the future."

"This matter is really important. I can't come to you, but you must protect her and don't regret it after the accident!" Su Ruolan was anxious.

She knew that it was almost impossible for mu Chengzhou to believe in herself, but she decided to make the last effort. Otherwise, if Mu Qishuang really has another accident in the future, Mu Chengzhou will certainly not forgive himself.

"That's enough. If you don't go, I'll have you invited out." Mu Chengzhou accentuated his tone.

Su Ruolan had no choice but to turn his head and go out with difficulty. Seeing that she was about to go to the door of the box, Mu Chengzhou's cold voice suddenly came from behind: "wait a minute."

Su Ruolan quickly turned back and looked at him with expectation. However, Mu Chengzhou was still expressionless and said coldly, "take the invitation and bring it to Guan Minghao. I don't want to waste any more time."

The last glimmer of hope was completely dashed. Su Ruolan only felt that he was stabbed in the heart, and the pain was hard to breathe. She walked back again and squeezed the exquisite and luxurious invitation in her hand.

"Mu Chengzhou, even if you really want to be with Ruan Mengyu, you should be careful of her, and Qi Mengtian." Su Ruolan said with a wry smile: "if you don't believe it, I can't help it."

With that, she walked out without looking back.

"Take your time, Miss Su."

Hearing the respectful voice of the people behind her, Su Ruolan didn't want to respond. She left the club in a daze. As soon as she went out, Li Xun rushed over and said impolitely, "Su Ruolan, do you know if you come out later, I'll call the police immediately!"

He seemed to have more to say, but when he saw Su Ruolan's face, he froze: "... Su Ruolan, why are you crying?"

Hearing Li Xun's words, Su Ruolan found that his face was cold and cold. When he reached out and touched it, it was already full of water marks. It turned out that before she knew it, she had cried all over her face.

"What's there to cry about? It's just a man," Li Xun obviously never experienced such a scene, and his always indifferent expression rarely showed a bit of panic: "Su Ruolan, can you be a little promising?"

"He's going to marry another woman."

Su Ruolan only felt that she had never been so sad. She had lost too much. She thought Mu Chengzhou was the last luck left to her by God, but she didn't expect to lose even him.

Li Xun immediately didn't know what to say. He glanced at the invitation in Su Ruolan's hand and immediately stretched out his hand to grab it, but Su Ruolan stopped him: "this is for my cousin."

"Cousin?" Li Xun was stunned for a moment and reacted: "you mean Mr. Guan? I always thought you were..."

"He's just my cousin. Don't talk nonsense in the future." Su Ruolan calmly wiped away the wet tears on his face: "they will be engaged tomorrow. I have to take the invitation to my cousin. He hasn't got a firm foothold in city a and needs to attend this occasion more."

Su Ruolan knows that the engagement banquet between mu Chengzhou and Ruan Mengyu tomorrow must be another large-scale social event. She can't let Guan Minghao miss this opportunity.

Li Xun looked at her movements and was silent for a long time. He suddenly grabbed Su Ruolan's hand: "go, I'll take you to play!"

"What?"

Before Su Ruolan could react, she was pulled into a taxi by Li Xun. After getting on the bus, she came back to her senses and hurriedly asked, "don't you have to go back to work?"

"That's just my excuse to let you stay less with that man. The work has been finished long ago."

Li Xun pulled off his tie very casually, said the name of the bar to the driver, and then said to Su Ruolan, "I'll buy you a drink when I'm drunk."

Su Ruolan: "

She knew that Li Xun was the most unreasonable person she knew, but she didn't expect that he would be so independent that he would pull her to drink. But even if she refused, it was useless. She was directly pulled to a nearby bar by Li Xun.

This bar is different from ordinary bars. The environment is elegant, and most people who come to drink come to relax. There are never three or four people sneaking in. Similarly, the price of wine on the menu is staggering.

"Come on, help yourself. It's my treat." Li Xun Cai slapped the menu in front of her.

Su Ruolan was very helpless. She wanted to tell Li Xun that her kidney was bad and she couldn't drink. But looking at Li Xun like this, she was embarrassed to brush his mind. In addition, she really wanted to anesthetize herself and forget all the pain she had experienced before. She simply pushed the boat with the current and chose one at will: "then I want this."

The bartender quickly brought the mixed wine up and said with a smile, "I can't see you can drink so much, miss. This is the highest alcohol in our store. You have to take it easy."

The one with the highest degree?

Su Ruolan looked at the colorful cocktail in front of her and swallowed her saliva subconsciously. But the wine had been ordered. As soon as she gritted her teeth, she took up her goblet and drank half a cup at a time.

"Hey! Why are you drinking so hard?" Li Xun was surprised and wanted to stop, but he was a step slower.

Su Ruolan didn't realize what she had done. As soon as she tasted the wine, she just thought it tasted good, so she simply poured down one cup. Unexpectedly, after drinking, the scene in front of her began to shake.

"Li Xun... Why do you have two heads?" Su Ruolan stared at Li Xun and couldn't help laughing.

Li Xun looked helpless, waved his hand and said, "forget it, don't drink. I shouldn't have brought you here. You're honest here. I'll go to the boss and order something to sober up."

With that, he pushed aside his chair and left. While Su Ruolan sat in place, his drunkenness had poured up. She just felt dizzy, but she didn't want to sleep. Just then, she saw a tall figure passing by not far away. After being stunned for a while, she couldn't help but get up and catch up.

"Chengzhou, don't go..."

The man looked very much like Mu Chengzhou. Su Ruolan was completely drunk. He just chased each other and murmured: "please, don't marry Ruan Mengyu, don't marry her!"

She walked unsteadily and her center of gravity was unstable. She was about to catch up with the man, but she tripped and fell straight to the ground. But Su Ruolan was lucky not to have a close contact with the ground, but fell into a warm embrace.
