On Friday afternoon, Shen Qiuhua and Yang Qiong went to the restaurant in advance. Flip through the cookbook and determine the menu one by one. Shen Qiuhua is no stranger to this kind of thing. As a woman from an aristocratic family, she will definitely marry a mistress in the future, so hosting a banquet is also one of the compulsory courses.
After confirming the menu, neither of them went home. Anyway, the time is almost up, there is no need to toss back and forth.
"I'll see Sanyi and Liu Manzhi in a while, don't rush up, be careful to frighten them." Seeing Yang Qiong walking around excitedly, Shen Qiuhua had no choice but to remind her.
"Don't worry, I'll just watch and say nothing." It was rare for Qiu Hua to take action, so of course she had to cherish it.
At 5:40, Shen's father and Shen's mother were the first to come. The family chatted about family life, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Before six o'clock, the third aunt and uncle also came. Willow Manzhi usually runs a cosmetics store in the city, so he will come alone. After greeting each other, Uncle Third and Father Shen sat down to chat. When it comes to women's topics, they are usually not involved.
The third aunt looked at Shen Qiuhua's spring-like smile and curled her lips, "Qiuhua, it's not that the third aunt said that you need money, but you can't do anything for money, right? It's very rich, but women get old easily, what will you do in a few years?"
The so-called "dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." These words came from the mouth of the third aunt, and Shen Qiuhua was not surprised.
"Thank you, Auntie San for reminding me." She didn't refute anything. Today's big drama does not start from now.
Seeing that Shen Qiuhua didn't answer her own words, the third aunt thought it was because she was guilty, and she was even more proud of her heart. She took Shen Qiuhua and started to say that Shen Qiuhua was wrong.
Yang Qiong sat there looking coldly at the face of the third aunt, and sneered in her heart, you will know how you died in a while.
At a quarter past six, Hongsheng brought Zhou Yuehe over, and he apologized when he came in, saying that a patient had come to Zhou Yuehe temporarily, and it was too late after dealing with it. Of course everyone didn't mind and greeted them to sit down.
A group of relatives chatted with each other, and the men sat in the corner, speaking in low voices, but seemed to be having a good time. The women are a little weird here. The third aunt and Shen mother chatted about Shen Qiuhua's ignorance. Shen Qiuhua calmed her mother down several times when she wanted to have a seizure. The smile on the corners of his eyes warmed his heart. But in Yang Qiong's view, this is simply about to explode.
For more than a year in ancient times, Yang Qiong has seen countless times how Shen Qiuhua smiled and put his opponent to death.
Zhou Yuehe is a kind person, listening to Sanyi's words with less and less scruples, she can't help frowning. But she was a junior, she couldn't say anything, she just looked at Shen Qiuhua with her eyes.
Shen Qiuhua smiled and shook his head at her, motioning her to leave it alone.
Zhou Yuehe glanced at Yang Qiong again. In the few contacts she had with the two, she had realized that as long as something happened to Shen Qiuhua, Yang Qiong would definitely stand up to protect her. So now that Yang Qiong is sitting so firmly, it can be seen that Shen Qiuhua will be fine.
He was so slandered that he didn't even open his mouth to argue. Zhou Yuehe is kind, but not stupid. She has quickly found a hint of a snare in it.
At about half past six, Willow Manzhi arrived late. As soon as he came in, he shouted: "I'm late, I'm sorry everyone!"
The outfit she wore today was obviously deliberately dressed up. Shen Qiuhua and Yang Qiong saw at a glance that the cheongsam was made of one-color tailoring. Liu Manzhi is a beauty, and wearing this cheongsam fully highlights the advantages of her figure. Under the light, her whole person looked beautiful and moving.
As the host, Shen Qiuhua naturally went up to say hello. "Just come, we'll just wait for you to open the table." After saying that, she winked at Yang Qiong, and Yang Qiong went out to ask the waiter to serve the food.
"Oh, cousin Qiuhua is really impatient! It's rare for everyone to get together and talk, why are you in such a hurry to eat?" Liu Manzhi sat down and drank a cup of tea to moisten her throat.
"Everyone can chat while eating. My cousin and cousin have been busy all day, so I'm probably hungry now." Qiuhua laughed.
Willow Manzhi looked up at the entire box. "The decoration here is good! No wonder it's so expensive!" She turned her head to Shen Qiuhua, "Speaking of which, cousin, you took so many photos this time, so you must have made a lot of money, right?"
"Fortunately, it's just a living." Shen Qiuhua was still smiling.
"Che, you are a liar! Such a big brand is looking for you to endorse, even if you are not a celebrity and don't have such a high endorsement fee, you will always earn 10% of your money, right? I heard that celebrity endorsements are all in the tens of millions. You If you earn 10%, you will have a million." Liu Manzhi's eyes lit up when he mentioned "million". "How is it? Did you post it?"
Shen Qiuhua just laughed, but didn't talk.
Liu Manzhi waited for a long time without hearing a reply, and said a little displeased: "Cousin, you are a good person, but your mouth is too strict, and you don't say anything. You said that we are so close, you have an endorsement for this. Don't tell me any good things. Look, I look pretty good in one-color clothes."
Sanyi Gang, who had stopped talking, said: "That's not it. Qiuhua, your cousin is also a famous beauty. Look at this cheongsam, tsk tsk tsk, how beautiful it is. Qiuhua, when your family is in trouble The third aunt can't just watch, now that you are promising, you have to think about your cousin."
Shen Qiuhua raised her eyebrows and pursed her thin lips slightly, "Aunt San, didn't you keep saying that my money was not clean? Why, are you planning to let Cousin Manzhi make this money too?"
Yang Qiong's ears perked up all of a sudden, her heart was so excited! The maiden finally started to attack.
The third aunt's expression changed, and she pouted at random: "Qiuhua, that's not what you said. The third aunt who became the spokesperson doesn't know, but my family's vine branches won't make those dirty money. So the third aunt I asked you to help me pull the strings."
Liu Manzhi also said: "That's right, cousin, I'm not going to suffer if I follow you, right?" She smiled and looked charming.
Shen Qiuhua shook his head slightly, this cousin looked innocent and innocent, but unfortunately, born in such a family, she was completely crooked.
"Didn't you say that I was raised by a rich person? Do you want the rich to raise another one?" Her voice was soft, and when she said this, even Mother Shen couldn't listen. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Qiuhua's hand lightly pressed on his mother's shoulder.
The third aunt couldn't help but spit. "Qiuhua, the third aunt watched you grow up. She always treats you as her own daughter. You have changed too much now. You never refuted what the third aunt said before, but now it's alright, just say your best. In a word, have you stayed in the city for a year and your wings are so hard that even your elders don’t pay attention?”
Shen Qiuhua handed over a cup of tea. "Third aunt, drink a cup of tea to calm down. Where did I contradict you? Didn't I always follow your words? You said that the money I earned was not clean, and that I was taken care of by rich people, but I can't say anything. There is no objection!"
Zhou Yuehe on the side thought about it carefully, but no, she didn't refute a word.
"But what's your attitude?" The third aunt was still angry.
Shen Qiuhua smiled. "Third aunt, what kind of attitude do you make me have when you slander me for nothing?"
"When did I slander you?" Sanyi patted the table and stood up.
The men chatting over there were also attracted to this side at this time, and they all looked over.
Shen Qiuhua finally put away his smile, and the aura of coercion was slowly released. "What did you say to my mother, do you dare to say it again in front of everyone?"
The third aunt looked at the others and found that everyone was looking at her. She was also used to being arrogant in front of Mother Shen, "Just say it. I'm your third aunt, can I still make up nonsense and spread rumors?"
Hongsheng frowned. He is very clear about his cousin, he absolutely does not believe that Shen Qiuhua will become a rich man's plaything for money. "Sanyi, where did you hear this?"
"Where did you hear it? This is what your cousin Manzhi saw with her own eyes." The third aunt was not afraid to confront him on the spot.
Everyone's eyes "swipe" to the willow branches again. Hongsheng continued to ask: "Manzhi, what did you see?"
Willow vines are a little bit tongue-tied. She knew that there was nothing wrong with the things she saw, it was just her own brainstorming.
"I... I saw Cousin Qiuhua filming the location. She was with a lot of men." Under the gazes of Shen Qiuhua and Yang Qiong, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and could only say what she saw to avoid the key points.
"Men?" Hongsheng really grasped this point. "What man?" He looked at Shen Qiuhua.
Shen Qiuhua didn't answer, but continued to ask Liu Manzhi, "Yeah, what kind of man?"
Willow branches hesitated for a long time. "It's the men who took the pictures."
"Those men who took pictures." Hongsheng muttered these words in his mouth before he could react, "Are you talking about those staff?"
Of course the staff. But Liumanzhi can't say it! "How do I know if those are staff? Anyway, everyone smiled at Cousin Qiuhua. I looked at each one with bad intentions." She said in a lower and lower voice.
Shen Qiuhua sighed: "Manzhi, it's a pity that you didn't live in ancient times. As you say, if I take a photo, I would ask people to replace all the staff with women?" She sneered: "I'm just a Ordinary people don't have such a big face."
Such an obvious irony, everyone could hear it.
Liu Manzhi said unconvinced: "Cousin, don't say I'm out of nothing. I'm just wondering why Ishiki would ask you to be their spokesperson. What is it about you that attracts them? If you want to talk about being beautiful, don't talk about others, I think at least I will It won't be worse than you." That's why she came here in one-color tailoring.
Shen Qiuhua's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak. He took his small bag from Yang Qiong's hand, opened it, took out a few wallet photos from it, and handed it to Liu Manzhi. "If your aesthetic is normal, you should be able to find the answer."
