Chapter 1 How much is love worth?
As night fell, a European-style manor in the city center was extremely lively. The white antique European-style building was hazy by the yellow lights. The carved iron gate opened, and luxury cars came one after another. A black Bentley parked At the gate of the manor, a doorman immediately stepped forward and opened the car door. The black leather shoes fell to the ground, and a young man in a dark gray suit got out of the car. His dark eyes fell on the face of the oncoming person. While poking this touch of a good-for-nothing smile;
"Mr. Song, your coming here really makes our place flourish."
Song Jing held the hand extended by the opposite person;
"Where, today is the year-end celebration of Huachen Auction House, so I would like to thank President Li for the invitation."
The impeccable smile can't hide the extravagance of the whole body, this kind of pleasantries are almost in Song Jing's bones, as long as he opens his mouth, people can't find fault.
"Please come inside, Xiao Zhou will lead the way for Mr. Song."
Song Jing nodded, then elegantly adjusted her suit and went in with the smiling assistant beside her.
Liu Sheng greeted him with such a low profile, and the people behind him who got off the car began to discuss in a low voice;
"Who is that man? Why does Liu Sheng treat him like a dog's leg?"
"You don't know about him, Song Jing. He used to be the eldest son of the Song family, but now? The most popular person around Qin Mo."
One sentence changed the expressions of the surrounding people, and they immediately understood why even the president of Huachen Auction House was so polite to Song Jing. Qin Mo, an existence that no one dared to ignore in Kuncheng, Kuncheng There are quite a few wealthy families, among which there are three, six, and nine classes, and the Qin family in the north of the city stands at the top of the pyramid. Qin Mo stomped two generations of the Qin family under his feet to win the position of patriarch. Needless to say, he is ruthless, there are many rumors from the outside world that he has a sinister temperament and is the last person Kuncheng can't provoke.
"So he is Song Jing?"
"you know?"
"You don't even know this? Three years ago, Qin Mo made a move against the Song Corporation. The Song Corporation's funds were broken and it was about to go bankrupt. However, Qin Mo said that as long as the Song family's young master followed him, he would buy the Song Corporation. Take over the debt together, and make sure the Song family has no worries about food and clothing."
"So, this canary is Liu Sheng's number one God of Wealth. He spends money like water, so Liu Sheng has to support him properly."
The discussion was lost in the wind blowing away at night. No matter what kind of thoughts these people had in their hearts, when they entered the door and met Song Jing, they still had to call Mr. Song politely. He has been able to do his job well for a long time. A crystal cup is slightly turning at the tip of his slender fingers. He deals with people coming and going, but the smile in his eyes does not reach his eyes at all. Just for fun, he likes to see these people still want to be polite in front of him despite their self-righteous contempt, it's hypocritical and ridiculous.
There was still a while before the auction, and Song Jing was about to go upstairs to the attic to have a look at the scenery when she was stopped by a beautiful female voice;
"Song Jing."
He turned around and faced Lin Yelan who was wearing a luxurious dress, the smile on his face was finally a little warmer, Lin Yelan came only after receiving his call;
"Sit upstairs?"
Song Jing nodded. He actually came to this auction today to find an excuse to meet Lin Yelan. The two sat down on a balcony with a nice view on the second floor. Lin Yelan was wearing a champagne-colored dress and her complexion was extraordinarily fair. She does not belong to that kind of coquettish beauty, her facial features are bright and bright, not the sweetness of a girl in a boudoir, but graceful and bright, her eyebrows and eyes seem to be full of stars, she sits quietly opposite Song Jing, her gaze But looking at the busy courtyard below;
"I said Mr. Song, I left our teacher Mu at home to attend your appointment. Hurry up and talk about something."
She turned her gaze, with a bit of a pungent smile in her eyes. Song Jing lowered her head slightly, and kept turning the cup in her hand with her fingers. Lin Yelan had known him for many years, and she knew some of his little habits by heart. The smile on the face slowly faded, because the person on the opposite side was hesitating, a rare indecisiveness. Of course, it would be difficult for people who are not very familiar with it to see the clues from the fox on the opposite side.
Suddenly Song Jing's phone rang, and the name that flashed on the screen was the most familiar name in the past three years, Qin Mo. He picked it up without much hesitation, and the voice on the phone was low and pleasant;
"Xiao Jing, I heard you went to the auction?"
Well, it was a very common opening remark, but it made Song Jing froze all over, because Qin Mo used to stare at him like a prisoner, but his voice still contained a proper smile;
"Well, I heard that at today's auction, there is the Dingyao Fangzhan I fancy last time. Are you busy? When will you be back?"
It will take about a week for Qin Mo to go abroad to negotiate a contract, and he should be back the day after tomorrow;
"It may take a day to delay the signing before the day after tomorrow."
At this moment, on the other side of the ocean, a man in an iron black suit just got out of the car, loosened his tie, his face was not very good, he held the phone in one hand and propped his forehead in the other, but there was no discomfort or fatigue in his voice.
"Don't rush the schedule, don't be too tired, I'll wait for you at home."
Qin Mo stood by the window, closed his eyes slightly, and propped his hands on one wall. The overly bright light in the living room reflected half of his face too pale, but the other half of his face leaned against the window and was hidden in the shadows. , there was a look of struggle in the eyes of the half-dark face, but in the end he explained something;
"I didn't ask for your location specifically, it was the call from Liu Sheng just now."
The first year they just started was not very happy, or Song Jing was very unhappy. Qin Mo knew that he didn't like to look at him all the time, but the fear of losing control was always holding him back. He knew that His way may be too paranoid. He doesn't want Song Jing to be afraid of him, and he doesn't want Song Jing to hate him. He is always fighting against the beast that screams in his heart. As Song Jing gradually accepts him, he gradually becomes willing. Getting along well with him, he gradually gained the upper hand, chaining up the runaway beast bit by bit.
He cherishes Song Jing's feelings for him now. He finally waited for the day when he was willing to accept him. He didn't want to destroy the peace now, so he really hasn't been stared at for a long time. It was indeed just now. Liu Sheng called, and he just got his news.
The smile on Song Jing's lips was a bit sarcastic, but the words she spoke were very beautiful;
"Well, I know, Liu Sheng regards me as the God of Wealth, and I wish you could come here together."
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Song Jing's face completely faded away, Lin Yelan looked at this scene, she had a guess about Song Jing's purpose of looking for her today, Song Jing held the phone tightly in her hand and raised her head, He raised his hand to fill the glasses of himself and the person opposite, and raised the glasses with his slender fingers to respect each other from a distance;
"Ye Lan, you can pay back the favor you owe me."
Lin Yelan sighed, but did not raise her glass;
"Have you really figured it out?"
A sneer appeared on Song Jing's lips;
"nature."
Lin Yelan frowned slightly;
"I know what you want to do, and it's okay to return your favor, but as a friend, I still want to remind you, you should think about this matter clearly, once you do something, there is no room for regret, you Do you really have no feelings for Qin Mo?"
The smile on Song Jing's face deepened, but it was dangerous and paranoid;
"Emotions? Feelings are sometimes a stumbling block. When the stumbling block reaches your feet, you naturally have to kick it away."
He stood up, put his hands on the fence of the flower stand, and smiled charmingly. In terms of appearance alone, Song Jing's face would not be inferior to the few popular male stars nowadays. He was born A pair of peach blossom eyes are not as coquettish as ordinary people's, the eyes are slightly narrow and long, although they are smiling like this, but the bottom of the eyes is full of sarcasm;
"How much is love worth? Compared with that illusory thing, power and money are the real things that can make people feel at ease."
Lin Yelan looked at him and knew it would be useless to persuade him, so she put down her wine glass and sighed;
"Okay, when are you going to do it?"
"Five days later."
"I understand."
Lin Yelan got up to say goodbye, Song Jing leaned on the back of the chair behind her, the smile on her face gradually faded, her expression was so thick that she couldn't get rid of it, she swung the red wine in the glass and drank it down, feeling?In the past three years, he really believed it, and even thought that it would be good to live like this, but the photo that the man hid gave him a solid slap, that's right, even his relatives treated him Without a trace of kindness, how could he believe that someone who suddenly appeared loved him for no reason?
It will be Qin Mo's birthday in five days, and I think this is the most suitable birthday present for him.
The next day, just after signing the contract, Qin Mo couldn't hold back and went to the bathroom. His stomach felt like a tide, but he retched but couldn't vomit anything. His stomach was churning, and he didn't eat in the morning. , low blood sugar made him tremble all over, Liu Xuan rushed over in time, asked him to rinse his mouth, and drink the glucose that has been prepared all the time. Liu Xuan has been with him for a long time, so he is also a little worried at the moment;
"President Qin, you should go to the hospital for an examination. You seem to have been losing your appetite these days."
Qin Mo's face was pale, and the negotiation went more smoothly than originally planned. He thought that the contract to be signed in the afternoon had just been signed, and he wanted to fly back to China immediately, but he was really uncomfortable at the moment;
"You make an appointment with the doctor. I'm free in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, Qin Mo arrived at a private hospital here. Liu Xuan found Wu Run's brother Ethan, who had been in charge of Qin Mo's body, for a comprehensive examination. Qin Mo then sat in the lounge and closed his eyes to rest.
After waiting for a while, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and the mixed-race doctor came in rashly with an examination report, his face could not tell whether it was shock or excitement.
Qin Mo frowned slightly;
"something wrong?"
