The first thousand one hundred and forty-four chapters [dead and then live] (below)
Zhang Yang and Yin Suyuan came to the entrance of the dance. Yin Suyuan handed the invitation to the guards. The two passed the security check separately and walked into the dance scene together. As soon as they entered the dance hall, Zhang Daren quickly separated from Yin Suyuan and whispered: "I lost my companion." Zhang Daren was worried that he would be recognized by others. He saw that President Hong was standing in the center of a group of people in the distance, receiving everyone's congratulations like stars holding the moon.
Zhang Yang lowered his head and hurried to the bathroom.
After Zhang Daguanren disappeared, Yin Suyuan breathed a sigh of relief as if she had woken up from a dream. She blinked her eyes. Why did she come to the dance scene without realizing it? What happened just now? No matter how hard she tried, she could never remember it. She sighed softly and said, "How great would it be if she could really forget it!"
Zhang Daren looked at himself in the mirror in the bathroom. He was basically satisfied with Quan Zhengtai's makeup skills, and at least he could deceive most people's eyes.
Zhang Yang came outside, picked up a glass of champagne, and observed the surrounding environment while siping wine.
President Hong was still in the center of the crowd. He seemed to be preparing for something. He smiled at everyone and said he wanted to leave. Everyone dispersed a passage and turned around and left.
Official Zhang did not dare to think about Jin Min'er's name too much, for fear that the love Gu would attack again, but the possibility was very slim. Even if he planted the love Gu by Liu Danchen, it would be only in the early stage, not to mention that he had just had an attack once, so it would not be possible to have a second attack in a short period of time.
Shortly after President Hong left, everyone looked up the stairs together, and his only son Hong Zhengzai walked down.
Zhang Yang looked at Hong Zhengzai and found that this kid was indeed handsome and handsome, at least not inferior to himself in his facial features. Everyone rushed to talk to each other, and Hong Zhengzai seemed quite kind and greeted everyone politely. He smiled charmingly, giving people the feeling of being well-educated and easy to approach.
Zhang Daguanren accidentally saw Yoon So-won standing in a distant corner. Since Hong Zhengzai appeared, her eyes have never left him. Zhang Daguanren intuitively judged that the relationship between Yoon So-won and Hong Zhengzai was not that simple. Could it be that the two of them were old lovers?
Hong Jung-jae finally noticed Yoon So-won in the distance. He was stunned for a moment. A trace of unspeakable sadness flashed across his face, but he quickly turned to others and continued to greet others with a smile.
When Zhang Daguanren saw two crystal clear spots rippling in Yin Suyuan's eyes, he clearly felt sad tears. Zhang Daguanren took another glass of champagne and walked over, came to Yin Suyuan's side, and handed the champagne to her.
Yin Suyuan was stunned for a moment, took the champagne handed over by Zhang Yang, barely smiled, and said in Korean: "Thank you!"
Zhang Daguanren smiled and responded in English: "I'm sorry. I don't understand Korean!"
Yoon Su-won smiled faintly: "Sir, aren't South Koreans?"
Zhang Yang took a sip of champagne and said, "Hong Kong people are doing business here."
Yin Suyuan nodded, feeling that the man in front of him had a familiar feeling. But for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had met. She whispered: "Have we met before?"
Zhang Yang said: "Have you been to Hong Kong before?"
Yin Suyuan shook her head.
“Have you been to the United States?”
Yin Suyuan fell into deep thought.
President Hong appeared in the hall again and he greeted the door. However, the new Chinese ambassador arrived. Official Zhang looked up and did not expect that the new ambassador was his old acquaintance. Shu Yingheng, Consul General of the Consulate General in New York, was said to be Shu Yingheng, who was also Gu Yunzhi's old friend. When Zhang Yang went to the United States to avenge Gu Jiatong, he also received his help.
Shu Yingheng smiled and shook hands with President Hong. The two of them were greeting each other. Although Shu Yingheng had not served for a long time, he was already very familiar with the senior officials of South Korea. This shows his outstanding diplomatic ability.
Zhang Daren did not go over to say hello immediately. He looked at Yoon So-won beside him and found that her eyes were on Hong Jung-jae in the distance. He had already inferred in his heart that Yoon So-won and Hong Jung-jae must have feelings. Kim Seung-hwan and the President wanted to deepen their alliance through marriage, but their actions were not what their children wanted.
At this time, there was another commotion in front of the door, but Kim Min'er arrived. She held her father's arms in her arms, Kim Seung-hwan's military uniform was straight, and the rank and medals on her chest showed his outstanding status in the military. Kim Min'er was wearing a red evening dress, and her ebony-like hair tied a lotus-like bun on her head. Her skin was better than snow, and her eyebrows were picturesque, like a fairy in the Nine Heavens descending to earth. She was so beautiful that it was intoxicating, as if she did not belong to this dust.
Every man present felt his breath suffocating and couldn't help but envy Hong Zhengzai. The blessings he had cultivated in several lifetimes could have been able to marry such a beautiful woman.
Hong Zhengzai's eyes also lit up, but then he looked into the distance with some anxiety, looking for Yoon So-won's figure. Seeing Yoon So-won silently sad in the corner, Hong Zhengzai's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Jin Min'er's temperament is noble and elegant. If the only thing that is the beauty is that her expression is too cold, as if she has not been integrated into this joyful environment.
Kim Seung-hwan brought her daughter to the president and introduced her with a smile: "You Uncle Hong, don't introduce me!"
Jin Min'er called Uncle Hong, but there was no smile on her face. Jin Seung-hwan laughed and said, "Min'er is very nervous tonight."
President Hong called his son to his side and smiled and said, "This is my son Zhengzai. You should have met when you were a child, but he has been studying in the United States for many years and has just returned not long ago."
Hong Jung-jae smiled and said to Kim Min-ah: "Hello!"
Jin Min'er responded mechanically: "Hello!"
President Hong laughed and said, "You young people will soon become familiar with each other. Seung-hwan. I didn't expect that you are good at leading troops to fight and raising a daughter so well, and you actually gave birth to such an outstanding daughter."
Kim Seung-hwan smiled and said, "Jong-jae is also a handsome talent!" He said to Hong Jun-jae, "Jong-jae, I will give Min-ah to you for your care!"
President Hong smiled and said, "Let them young people go and chat, we will greet other guests."
Kim Seung-hwan walked towards Shu Yingheng and greeted him.
Shu Yingheng smiled and said, "General Jin's daughter is so beautiful!"
Kim Seung-hwan laughed and said politely: "Where is where!"
Hong Zhengzai asked the waiter for two glasses of red wine and handed one of them to Kim Min'er, but Kim Min'er didn't pick it up and said calmly: "I never drink."
Hong Jung-jae smiled, his smile seemed a little embarrassed. He was a smart person and could feel that Kim Min-ah was not in good mood. Hong Jung-jae asked the waiter for a glass of juice. Kim Min-ah's eyes were empty and ethereal. Although she was at the dance scene, she only had a shadow of flamboyance in her mind. Her father used marriage to achieve the goal of consolidating his own power. After a while, he and the president would announce the news of his engagement with Hong Jung-jae in public. Kim Min-ah shook her head,
She has no feelings for Hong Jung-jae. No one in this world can touch her heart except Zhang Yang, but her father used Zhang Yang's life safety as a threat. Such behavior made her feel cold, but she had to surrender to such pressure. In order to Zhang Yang, she could give up everything she had, even if it was her life. Thinking of this, Kim Min-ah wanted to cry again, but she couldn't cry. The more she was in front of others, the more she had to show her strength.
Hong Jung-jae handed her juice again, Kim Min-ah took the juice and took a sip. Hong Jung-jae whispered: "Are you unhappy?"
Jin Min'er didn't say anything.
Hong Jung-jae said: "Don't you want to get engaged to me?"
Jin Min'er still didn't speak.
Hong Zhengzai said: "Although you don't want to talk to me, I know that you are forced to come here. People must do something for their family when they live in this world. Min'er, I will respect you."
Kim Min-ah said, "I feel very pitiful, it's just a prop for others to achieve political goals." She glanced at Hong Jung-jae and said, "Would you like to marry a woman who doesn't love you at all? Do you think such a marriage will be happy?"
While Hong Jung-jae answered Kim Min-ah's question, she looked into the distance again. Yoon So-won's shadow could no longer be found in the crowd. He whispered: "I will put the interests of the family first."
A sneer sneer appeared on the corner of Jin Min'er's lips.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet, and not long after, a burst of applause rang. President Hong and Kim Seung-hwan walked side by side to the center of attention. Both of them had smiles on their faces. When they came to the podium, they gave in to each other. Then President Hong walked towards the microphone with a smile. He smiled and said to everyone: "Dear gentlemen, ladies, welcome everyone to participate in the dance held by our residence. Before the dance officially begins, General Kim Seung-hwan and I have a good news to announce to everyone." He looked at Kim Seung-hwan.
Kim Seung-hwan smiled and reached out and signaled that President Hong would announce the matter personally.
Jin Min'er bit her lips hard, her face pale as snow. She felt that she was about to collapse at any time. Just when Jin Min'er was about to be unable to hold on, she suddenly heard a calm voice saying, "Min'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Zhang Yang! Jin Min'er's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she searched Zhang Yang's location on the scene.
Zhang Yang said: "Don't make a statement, don't be seen by them! I have my own way to take you away."
President Hong announced loudly: "I officially announced that my son Hong Jung-jae and General Kim Min-ah, the daughter of General Kim, have decided to formally engage in tonight!"
This news is not shocking to everyone. After all, many people have heard the news before that. President Hong and Kim Seung-hwan are in political needs and have moved towards cooperation. Now that their children have established in-laws, they are just making their cooperative relationship more stable.
The live music sounded, and everyone looked at the young couple Hong Jung-jae and Kim Min-ah. To outsiders, they were indeed a pair of talented men and women, and everyone also believed that today's first opening dance should be danced by them.
I'm still six votes away to get 1,400 votes. Brothers and sisters, please give me strength!
