Throughout the entire dinner, Sheng Zhuo did not leave Chi Le's side. Their presence together caused quite a stir, and they attracted concerned glances from people around them wherever they went.
When Chi Le looked at Sheng Zhuo before, he saw him as a young poplar tree that was striving for progress. But when he looks at Sheng Zhuo now, he sees him as evil capitalism.
"Do you think, like them, that I am the son of a nouveau riche and not from the same class as you?"
Chi Le was very worried. If his wife looked down upon him in the future, wouldn't he be very embarrassed
Sheng Zhuo glanced around coldly, and the strange looks from the people around him quickly disappeared completely.
While no one was paying attention, he raised his hand and pinched Chi Le's earlobe. Seeing the round earlobe getting redder under his fingertips, he couldn't help but smile. "If you are the son of a nouveau riche, then I am the deskmate behind the son of a nouveau riche. As nouveau riche, we can't be so unconfident."
Chi Le felt happy.
In the future, you will not only be the nouveau riche’s good friend, but also his daughter-in-law!
Since his wife said so, Chi Le's confidence instantly returned and he turned back into the complacent Young Master Chi, half-raising his chin and glaring back at anyone who dared to look at him.
Sheng Zhuo took him to meet several people and introduced him to several of his friends, and never let him leave his side.
The two of them stayed together inseparable. Others realized how much Sheng Zhuo valued Chi Le and dared not act rashly anymore. Their attitudes became much gentler, even with a hint of flattery.
After getting to know Chi Le, everyone found that he was different from what was rumored. Gradually, the atmosphere became harmonious, and even without Sheng Zhuo, everyone could happily chat with him.
Lin Yuran looked at Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le from afar with a gentle gaze.
Sheng De came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Yuran smiled slowly and raised her chin towards Sheng Zhuo and Chi Le. "This is the first time I see our son being so attentive to his friends. I find it a little strange."
Sheng De took a look and smiled, "I thought I would never see him being truly kind to anyone in this life, but I didn't expect that he would get warm sometimes."
Lin Yuran smiled and felt somewhat relieved.
Sheng Zhuo has been gentle and polite to others since he was a child, but there is a sense of alienation in his bones. Now seeing him treat someone so sincerely and become particularly human, they just feel happy.
Chi Jindong came back from a round of socializing and found Chi Le having a lot of fun. He couldn't help but smile. He walked over and when he got closer, he saw that the person next to Chi Le was Sheng Zhuo. He was a little surprised, "My little classmate is here too?"
Sheng Zhuo nodded and called out respectfully, "Uncle Chi."
Chi Jindong smiled and patted his shoulder, then said to Chi Le: "I have a meeting to attend later, so I have to leave first. Let's go back now."
Chi Le was stunned and looked at Sheng Zhuo hesitantly.
Sheng Zhuo frowned and pursed his lips into a slit.
Chi Le hesitated for a moment, "... Then I'll go back first?"
"You can stay here tonight." Sheng Zhuo grabbed Chi Le's wrist and rubbed it gently. "You are not used to studying alone, so I will study with you tonight."
Chi Le glanced at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock. He didn't know what time it would be after the dinner. Sheng Zhuo actually wanted to study with him
