Chapter 252: The Gift of Rejection
The Lin family was unusually grandly arranged, more grand than the last time the reception of the Qin family was held, because this time it was more formal. No matter what the attitude of the Lin family is, the things on the scene are still indispensable.
The main relatives of the Qin family are here, and there is an important guest who has not shown up, which is Qin Tianqi's mother Zhang Xue'e. This is an unusually low-key woman, who lives in seclusion on weekdays and doesn't like to show her head.
Qin Tianqi's father has passed away a long time ago, and for some special reasons, Qin Tianqi's mother has always refused to meet the Lin family, and on such an important occasion today, she made up her mind. After all, she is an indispensable figure for this kind of occasion.
The two families of Qin and Lin greeted each other, Zhang Xue'e saw Lin Xingnan, her eyes were a little strange, and Lin Xingnan inevitably showed a slight difference, but they were all covered by the smiles on each other's faces.
"Mrs. Qin, long time no see!" Lin Xingnan took the initiative to be polite.
"Long time no see!" Zhang Xue'e smiled, showing the unique charm of everyone's noble lady.
"How are you doing? You're abroad, and we're not hearing from you. Lin Xingnan's strange eyes were also full of concern.
Zhang Xue'e smiled and said, "TOEFL, it's okay." ”
"The Qin family's industrial investment has been transferred to China, will you still be in China or ...... in the future?" Lin Xingnan continued to ask.
Zhang Xue'e said: "You know that I like to be quiet, let's see where it is quiet enough." ”
Zhang Xue'e seemed to have a prejudice against Lin Xingnan, and she didn't intend to greet him much, but under the arrangement of the Lin family, she quietly sat in the VIP position that belonged to her.
Qin Tianqi walked in front of his mother and saluted, Zhang Xue'e lived in a simple house on weekdays, Qin Tianqi was busy with affairs, and there were not many opportunities to meet his mother, but he was a person who knew how to be filial, because of his father's early death, Qin Tianqi's feelings for his mother were very deep.
"Today you are the protagonist, there are many things to do, you are busy with your own first." Zhang Xue'e said to Qin Tianqi, gentle and gentle with the majesty of her mother.
Qin Tianqi said: "There's nothing busy either, I've paid a visit to all the people who should visit, and I've made all the preparations for tonight." ”
"Look at what you said, tonight is the time for you to do the big thing of your life, what kind of preparation is most needed? Although a girl's engagement is not a marriage, the waves in her heart are no less than when she got married, and she is not suitable to be alone now, so go and accompany her. Zhang Xue'e said softly to Qin Tianqi.
Lin Anqi was on the terrace on the second floor, looking at the busy crowd in the large courtyard on the first floor, and just stared blankly, not telling who the next person was at all, because she was not in the mood at all.
If there are certain periods of life that can be torn off like the pages of a book, Lin Anqi must not hesitate to tear up tonight, so that tonight is vacuum, there is nothing, and she will not have to face anything.
No! Not only tonight, but also today's daytime, all day! Forget the moment when the damn beast broke his heart.
Alas! It's a pity that everything is impossible!
Angel Lin sighed, she felt that she was a poor girl in captivity, about to be ravaged by the brutal rapist of fate, and that no one would come to save her.
Taking a deep breath, she clenched her little pink fist, and she decided to fight desperately against the violence of fate.
"Angel!" Someone behind her called her softly, it was Qin Tianqi.
Lin Anqi didn't respond, tonight this should be his most hated voice, and after a while, this nasty voice will sound in front of everyone, and say words of love to himself.
Rejection wells up in my heart at this time, although it never stops.
"The guests are all here." Qin Tianqi walked up to Lin Anqi and stood side by side with her looking at the brightly lit courtyard downstairs.
"I'll go down myself in a while, don't rush me!" Lin Anqi said unhappily.
Qin Tianqi said: "Of course not, because this doesn't make any sense, and today's result shouldn't have any change." ”
Lin Anqi sneered: "You know I will reject you? ”
"Will you say yes?" Qin Tianqi said.
"Then why are you doing this? Want to prove that it is your style to prove that it is difficult to be a strongman, Young Master Qin? Lin Anqi snorted coldly.
Qin Tianqi said: "I use the right I have to like you, and prove it to you in front of the two families, of course you have the right to refuse, but I also have the right to pursue." ”
Lin Anqi said: "Do you like my people, or do you like our Lin family's money?" ”
"The wealth of our Qin family is not inferior to that of the Lin family, and money doesn't mean much to me." Qin Tianqi said.
"And the one you like me? Well, you give up everything you have now, and so do I, and then I'm with you, and we live the life of the most ordinary people, how about it? Lin Anqi continued to sneer.
Qin Tianqi laughed.
"If it was true, I would be willing, but it's a pity that you are joking. By the way, will Ye Feng come tonight? Qin Tianqi said.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? Lin Anqi faced Qin Tianqi and said, he said that name, which made Lin Anqi instantly feel a sense of strength.
But in an instant she was disappointed again, he wouldn't be here tonight!
Without waiting for Qin Tianqi to respond, Lin Xingnan came up, and then invited the two of them downstairs, the dinner has officially begun, and of course the protagonist of tonight is going to play.
"Angel!" Zhang Xue'e saw Lin Anqi and gently called her and approached her.
Lin Anqi and Zhang Xue'e are not meeting for the first time, of course they know each other, and in fact, she has a very good impression of Zhang Wanying, because of the lack of maternal love since childhood, the unique maternal atmosphere on Zhang Xue'e can always impress Lin Anqi inadvertently.
This is one of the few women who can make a good impression on Lin Anqi, but she is Qin Tianqi's mother!
"Aunt Xue!" Lin Anqi called her softly.
Zhang Xue'e still smiled gently, looked at Lin Anqi carefully, and looked at her future daughter-in-law's gaze.
Regarding Lin Anqi's rejection of Qin Tianqi, Zhang Xue'e of course knows that she is not a woman who can be strong. So tonight she also went with the flow, and her personal arrival, of course, also wanted to see the results she wanted, and work hard for it.
Lin Canghai immediately beckoned all the guests to take their seats, and the melodious piano music and violin music sounded, and the lights were shining, full of joy and harmony.
Except for certain people, no one knows the extreme unrest contained in this harmony, let alone the imminent turmoil.
Zhang Xue'e took Lin Anqi's hand and asked her to sit directly next to her, Lin Anqi was not very happy, because Qin Tianqi was also sitting next to her, and she knew what this meant.
"There aren't so many rules now, and you can sit casually at home." Zhang Xue'e said softly, dispelling Lin Anqi's concerns, and Lin Anqi immediately sat down next to her.
Lin Xingnan said a few words to the guests present as the head of the family, which was basically the nature of today's family banquet, and expressed his sincere welcome to all the guests, these guests were not only the Qin and Lin families, but also friends and business partners of the two families.
In short, everything tonight has been made public, and whether the Qin Lin family marries or not is not just a secret of the Qin Lin family.
"By the way, Anqi, Aunt Xue has prepared a gift for you! You should love it. Zhang Xue'e smiled at Lin Anqi and took out a delicate jewelry box as she spoke.
The exquisite gift box was opened, and inside was the exquisite jewelry box, and then opened to the gorgeous diamond necklace, composed of a large diamond and fifteen small diamonds, under the light shimmering dazzling light, enough to interpret any splendor and luxury in this world.
Tiffany's diamond necklace, the largest diamond in South Africa's new Blue Dream collection. And it is Tiffany's top blue diamond product, rare in the world, this is the ancestral heritage of the Qin family, and its value is not only in money.
Lin Anqi panicked instantly, of course she knew what it meant to accept this gift. Zhang Xue'e didn't say anything about its specialness, but everyone present could know about its specialness.
According to the previous arrangement, this thing was originally done by Qin Tianqi, so Qin Tianqi also wondered why it was his mother who did it now.
Zhang Xue'e's idea is very simple, she knows in her heart that Lin Anqi is unhappy, and among the Qin family, Lin Anqi has the best impression of her, and her shot may be able to increase some possibilities of success.
This was already some kind of plea of hers, and compared to Qin Tianqi, her plea was certainly more effective. Maybe in front of everyone, Lin Anqi will acquiesce because she is embarrassed to refuse.
Of course, she also knew that if Lin Anqi refused even her, it meant that she really had no intention of marrying the Qin family at all, and she could only give up and could no longer force it.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Anqi, with envy and expectation. Lin Canghai and Lin Xingnan looked at Lin Anqi with the same eyes, and they knew the importance of Lin Anqi's next decision.
Originally, they thought that the Qin family would follow the normal procedure, but they didn't expect Zhang Xue'e to come out suddenly, not only Lin Anqi, but even they were a little caught off guard.
"Try it, you'll look great when you wear it!" Qin Tianqi whispered to Lin Anqi.
"I've worn one now, and it doesn't work, so try it again later!" Lin Anqi said, she was actually quite angry and resisted, but she learned to forbear on this occasion.
Zhang Xue'e said: "It's okay, take that one off and try it!" ”
Zhang Wanying walked up directly at this time and took off the diamond necklace that Lin Anqi had worn before, Zhang Xue'e picked up the diamond necklace and carefully prepared to wear it on Lin Anqi's jade neck.
Lin Anqi closed her eyes, at this moment, it was no longer a diamond necklace, but a shackle, a shackle that was ready to put her in, and she had been imprisoned by this nasty shackle for a long time.
This is the rope of fate, to strangle her neck, to suffocate her, she has to fight!
She stretched out her hand and gently blocked Zhang Xue'e's hand, but at this moment she didn't know what to say to refuse, because as long as she spoke, it meant that she rejected the Qin family in front of all the guests.
Lin Anqi bit her lip, did she just let it out?
With a "boom", there was a sudden loud noise in the direction of the courtyard gate, and the iron gate of the villa courtyard was savagely slammed open.
Everyone present was taken aback, and Lin Anqi was the same, stunned, his hand shook and he pushed unconsciously.
With a "snap", the diamond necklace fell to the cold marble floor, and the jade wrapped in the big diamond was broken into several petals, and the whole big diamond fell out directly.
