Chapter 211 - Absence

In the carriage, Tao Chu Liang did not say a word, but looked at her worriedly.

"Chu Liang, why did you reject Xiang Chen Xi's proposal?"

"A person who sees nothing will only become a burden to him. A perfect fit for him. "But …"

"But you clearly know that Xiang Chen Xi really loves you, so maybe he won't mind at all! Have you ever thought of how he would collapse if he knew the truth one day! " Qiao Qing Hao suddenly turned and said to Tao Chu Liang.

Tao Chu Liang looked at the scene that flashed past his window, and a look of struggle flashed past his eyes, as she muttered: "So, this matter can never be known by Chen Xi."

"Chu Liang, why are you so naive? How can there be a wall that doesn't let wind pass through?"

Tao Chu Liang shook his head: "Being able to hide it from you is still a day, right? Oh right, send me back home, I can't stay at Chen Xi's place anymore."

Qiao Qing Hao said: "Why don't you go to my place for the night? Your house has been deserted for so long, I will find someone to clean it for you tomorrow before sending you back."

was a little hesitant. He and Qing Hao had not reached the point where they could stay in each other's homes.

"I mean, I'll be staying at the hotel outside. You can stay at my place for the night." Qiao Qing Hao saw through Tao Chu Liang's thoughts.

Tao Chu Liang heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Qing Hao, thank you so much."

Qiao Qing Hao remained silent. Why was she always so polite to him?

The two of them did not know that Xiang Chen Xi had been following behind them the entire time. When Xiang Chen Xi saw Tao Chu Liang actually going to Qiao Qing Hao's house, he thought that the two of them were already living together angrily. But after that, Qiao Qing Hao left the villa, and he understood. Chu Liang would rather live in someone else's house than go home and see him?

Xiang Chen Xi returned home dejectedly, his heart was in a mess. He never thought that Chu Liang would really not accept him anymore. Could it be, it was really because of Li Li? However, Chu Liang's performance was strange. When he first saw his, she was clearly very excited.

Xiang Chen Xi looked at everything in the room, it was still the same as when he left. These days, did Chu Liang live here alone? She was afraid of the dark. He must be scared at night, right? Xiang Chen Xi was regretting his decision to escape at that moment.

Xiang Chen Xi's hair was still fragrant on the pillow and he buried his face in the pillow. Thinking back to everything that had just happened, he still felt that it was unreal. Chu Liang said that the two of them should never meet again … What did that mean? Do you want to be cut off from me?

Xiang Chen Xi kept thinking that something was amiss. He had a premonition that something must have happened.

Xiang Chen Xi suddenly sat up on the bed, went out, and directly drove to Sheng Jue's place.

When Xiang Chen Xi appeared in front of Sheng Jue and Chen Shu in a panic, they didn't even have time to react.

"Sis …" Xiang Chen Xi shouted.

"Do you still know that I'm your sister? I thought you had disappeared again! What are you doing back here? " Chen Shu was furious.

Sheng Jue held Chen Shu's hand, signalling for her not to be so angry.

"Chen Xi, it's good that you're back. The public knows that you are the victim of that matter, and the group is functioning normally now. There are a lot of things that need to be handled by you. In the future, don't worry us anymore. " Seeing Xiang Chen Xi coming back, Sheng Jue was still very comforted in his heart.

However, Xiang Chen Xi suddenly said, "I've already seen Chu Liang."

"AHH!" Chen Shu and Sheng Jue were shocked at the same time.

"What's wrong? Why are you all having such a reaction? I didn't tell you all about it when I came back, so I could give her a surprise. "

Chen Shu and Sheng Jue looked at each other, trying their best to hide the uneasiness in their hearts. Chen Shu asked: "Then, are you guys okay?"

Xiang Chen Xi said dejectedly: "I think Chu Liang has proposed to me."

"What?" Sheng Jue and Chen Shu were both shocked, "Then, what did she say?"

Xiang Chen Xi grabbed Sheng Jue's shoulder and said loudly: "Sheng Jue, did something happen? Why did Chu Liang tell me not to meet her anymore? If you don't agree to my proposal, I can accept it, but she clearly wants me to never look for her again! "

"Chu Liang rejected you?" Chen Shu repeated himself, but he actually already had an answer in her heart.

"Sis, do you know something? Chu Liang is weird today, I feel like something is amiss! "

Chen Shu and Sheng Jue's hearts tightened. Even if they knew about this matter, they would have no way of speaking of it. Therefore, Chen Shu said: "Chen Xi, give Chu Liang some more time. "Just be patient."

"Is that really the case …" Xiang Chen Xi muttered, then he asked, "How is Grandfather now?"

Mentioning her grandfather, Chen Shu also revealed a smile on his face, "The doctor said that grandfather's condition is very stable, and there are signs of improvement. Chu Liang would come visit his grandfather every week, it would be hard on her, he's so busy yet he's still worried about his grandfather. "

Xiang Chen Xi felt a little guilty. Speaking of which, even though he also hated Grandfather, it was Grandfather who had brought the two siblings up all these years. But grandfather was sick, yet he still took his leave without saying a word. Instead, it was Chu Liang who was even trying his best to treat grandfather.

If grandfather had directly agreed to the matter between him and Chu Liang back then, then there might not have been the matters regarding Li Li afterwards. He and Chu Liang wouldn't be like this, familiar and unfamiliar with each other.

"I want to list a new company tomorrow, so come by when you have time. After Xiang Chen Xi finished speaking, he left.

The event was held at the convention center, a national and famous financial venue where many companies would choose to hold new product launches. As early as last night, many media outlets had already received the news that Xiang Group's Xiang Chen Xi had returned and even brought back a new work.

After the derailment, the man in the middle of the incident finally showed up! Xiang Chen Xi had always been one of the top in the business world, but now that he had returned with such power, both the business world and the media were paying attention to this matter.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon and the press conference would start in half an hour. Xiang Chen Xi stood in the darkness, observing the entrance and exit of the crowd. Many people walked in and out, but he did not manage to see the person he wanted to see.

At this time, Tao Chu Liang had already returned home. Qiao Qing Hao had already asked someone to clean the place thoroughly, and then Qiao Qing Hao personally sent Tao Chu Liang back. The two of them were eating at home right now, and the live broadcast of the event was playing on the television. The host was reminding everyone that the press conference was about to begin.

"Chu Liang, are you really not going to take a look?" Qiao Qing Hao looked at the television, the venue was already full.

Although she didn't have an appetite, she said indifferently: "What I should do now, is to hide as far away as possible. Only by doing this can I make Chen Xi give up earlier."

The time for the press conference had already come, but Xiang Chen Xi still did not see any trace of Tao Chu Liang. Even Sheng Jue and Chen Shu had arrived, why hadn't she come?

The host had invited Xiang Chen Xi onto the stage, but Xiang Chen Xi was no longer as haggard as yesterday. He had cut his hair, shaved his beard, and was wearing a dark blue suit that accentuated his brilliance. In the crowd, he appeared to stand out.

Tao Chu Liang looked at him through the screen, still feeling intoxicated. When they first met, he was so cold and domineering. Only later on did he realize that he was so gentle, so considerate, and so refined. It was impossible for him to reject such an outstanding person like him!

Xiang Chen Xi stood on stage, his eyes still searching the crowd below the stage. His heart began to sink, from his initial expectation to his current disappointment.

Xiang Chen Xi sat on the stage for a few minutes. The media reporters below the stage were beginning to find it strange, and the host could only urge them, "Now, let's ask the Item Total Judge to talk with everyone."

Xiang Chen Xi came to his senses and picked up the microphone, but said: "Can I trouble everyone to give me a bit more time? I'm waiting for someone very important. "

Tao Chu Liang, who was eating, stopped eating with the chopsticks in his hand.

"Going?" Qiao Qing Hao saw that Chu Liang had stopped eating and immediately asked.

Tao Chu Liang stood up, took a deep breath, and turned off the television.

Qiao Qing Hao was startled: "Chu Liang, what are you doing here?"

"Take me to the company. Before Chen Xi takes over the group, pass over my work to him." Tao Chu Liang said.

Qiao Qing Hao shook his head, this was obviously cutting off all relations with Xiang Chen Xi.

Another half an hour had passed at the venue. The media and audience were starting to get restless. In their eyes, there was no difference between playing the big hand.

The assistant reminded Xiang Chen Xi, if this continued, the atmosphere of the press conference would change.

Xiang Chen Xi frowned. He picked up the microphone and finally spoke: "I am truly sorry. Everyone, I have delayed your time. Today is the Only launch, I specially designed a brand for my most beloved person, I hope I do so, can give this brand unique meaning. "

The projection started to display the jewelry that Xiang Chen Xi had designed. These new items had attracted the attention of many professional designers.

"But today, she did not appear at the venue. This company will not go public in my name, so please let everyone know. "

Everyone in the media knew that Xiang Chen Xi's fiancee was Tao Chu Liang, and before this, Tao Chu Liang had even emphasized that the two of them would get married in the middle of the month. Could it be that their marriage had changed?

Following that, Xiang Chen Xi picked out a few designs that he was most satisfied with and explained them, gaining a lot of applause. This Item Total referee had always been talented.

In the Q & A segment, everyone asked a lot of questions about the design of the jewelry. But there were also media concerns that focused on his love affair.

"Item Total's referee, is it because you and Miss Tao Chu Liang have a different relationship?"

"Item Total referee, will your wedding date still be held as scheduled?"

Finally, the assistant quashed the questions of the reporters on the grounds that they were not related to the topic of the press conference.
