Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 40

She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile - when she was studying in Shanghai, she often saw news about her father when she opened the newspaper. At that time, some financial celebrities and financial tycoons also need to be named. My father was just dismissive. It’s hard to believe the stunts pulled by these newspapers... It seems that times have really changed.

She looked at Cheng Zhishen in the photo. The ink was a bit heavy, and Zhishen's features were too dense and dark, making it unclear. She felt that Cheng Zhishen looked serious and rigid, but in fact he was extremely handsome... She closed the door newspaper, rubbing his eyebrows.

Maybe even after meeting him, she would hardly recognize her Ninth Brother.

The chime struck eleven.

It was time to rest, she was not sleepy at all.

She may have suffered from neurasthenia recently. Even when I go to bed very late, it is still difficult to fall asleep; I often wake up in the middle of the night and keep my eyes open until dawn... Sometimes I am awakened by the sound of gunfire in the distance. The sound of a gunshot appears to be far away, but when heard, it always feels close at hand. The concession was relatively peaceful compared to the outside, but after all, Shanghai was no longer the Shanghai of the early years. The atmosphere of turmoil was getting stronger and stronger. How long would the concession be stable... From this, she thought about the purpose of her return, and she couldn't sleep even more. .

She went upstairs.

The modified dress was delivered in the afternoon and hung on the hanger. The dress looks gorgeous yet elegant.

No matter how indifferent she felt, she had to admit that this was a beautiful dress. Especially when it's worn. Even if it's just a few minutes, it feels like it's been given life and it's radiant.

Cousin Wuxia understands her after all.

When Wendy Wu gave her this dress, she said that when she first saw it, she thought it would look good on her, because she always remembered how beautiful her little cousin was in her dancing dress... Wendy Wu's cousin said to Yi'er , I really want to see you dance again. You went to the dance for the first time when you turned eighteen. It was Wu Gu and I who brought you in. Do you remember the Kong family dance? That dance hall covered in Damascus roses? How beautiful you were that night. I thought my little sister was a nerd who could only read, and social dancing was just for homework and exercise. Who would have thought... Yi'er, let's dance again.

Dance, dance, dance...

She took off her shoes, walked around the clothes rack twice on the carpet, and stepped into the evening shoes.

One, two, three, four... She recited the beat silently, spinning gently.

She was a little dizzy. Sit on the bench in front of the window and pat your chest. If there had been a mirror at this time, she would definitely have seen her flushed face, as delicate and beautiful as a Damascus red rose quietly blooming in the middle of the night... No, I had no time to remember it wrong. That night at the Kong family dance, the ballroom was not covered with Damascus roses. Not a single rose, nothing. All the Damascus roses were given to cousin Wugou by Kong Yuanqiu... They were gardenias.

Every eye is filled with ivory white gardenias.

The whole hall is filled with the fragrance of gardenias.

Intoxicating...

Jane lay on the bed, as if she was wrapped in the gentle fragrance of gardenia flowers... The skirts fluttering around her made the sea of ​​gardenia flowers ripple... She sighed, feeling a little groggy all over. Someone was holding her hand. He took her down the dance floor with his hand... There was laughter like silver bells behind him, tinkling... but the sound gradually became harsh.

"Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!" A hurried call came from close at hand.
