Yue Song returned to the dormitory and told Qian Wei, "I promised Zhang Qi to go to her birthday party."
"What the hell?" Qian Wei stuck his head out of the bed, "Why... oh! I see, it was Zhang Qi who came to you just now, right?"
Yue Song thought that Qian Wei would be unhappy, but Qian Wei thought about it and said, "Then I will go too."
Yue Song was surprised: "Don't you hate her the most?"
"Miss daughter who drives a sports car to school," Qian Wei said, "I want to see what a rich man's home is like? I guess this is the chance in my life."
Yue Song laughed.
"I still have to prepare a birthday present, right? It's a loss." Qian Wei calculated carefully, "No, I have to eat hard when I go, and I have to pay back!"
He was troubled again: "Hey, what do you want for your birthday present?"
Yue Song said, "Ask someone else. It's better if we all combine the money and buy a gift together."
"It's still your brain!" Qian Wei patted the bed, "I'm thinking, at most I can give her one hundred yuan, and if it's too much, I'm still worried about what I can buy. After all, people are rich, we can't Too shabby to look down on.”
Qian Wei is not the only one who is worried about gifts. Basically, everyone who has been invited to the student council is worried about it. Usually, their students send birthday gifts to each other. More than 100 yuan is expensive, and usually dozens of yuan can be passed away.
But Zhang Qi is an eldest lady who drives a sports car and carries a C bag. Everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible to give her a gift of more than 100 fast.
Qian Wei went to mention it, and everyone responded to the call and decided to put the money together. After discussing it for a while, I took a girl's suggestion and bought a gift box of big-name cosmetics for Zhang Qi.
It is estimated that each person should be less than 200 yuan.
Yue Song also shared with everyone. Qian Wei still felt distressed: "It's a loss, it's too expensive!"
Yue Song comforted him: "Don't worry, you will definitely get your money back."
Everyone didn't put too much thought into this matter, and dealt with the final exam first.
After the exam, the two girls took the money raised by everyone and went to buy a cosmetic gift box. On the third day after the exam, everyone went to her birthday party according to the address given by Zhang Qi.
Although I knew before I went that Zhang Qi's house must be a mansion, I was still shocked when I went there. Even the expensive cosmetic gift box is not so easy to get.
Sure enough, Zhang Qi only politely said "thank you" after receiving the gift, and put it aside without taking it seriously.
Zhang Qi smiled and let everyone feel free, but her eyes turned around Yue Song.
Yue Song wore the same plaid shirt as Qian Wei.
Zhang Qi knew about this shirt because she had been laughed at by the girls in the student union—this was bought by Yue Song’s dormitory and the two dormitories next door. A piece is only a few dozen yuan, a standard plaid, and a proper otaku shirt.
But it is such a cheap item that Yue Song can wear it, and it can look good.
The face is the face of the star, the body is the clothes rack, and even the sack is fashionable.
The luxurious mansion, the uniformed auntie, the rich buffet-style drinks, snacks, fruit plates... The students couldn't help but be cautious. Even Qian Wei, who blew his nostrils when he mentioned Zhang Qi, didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
When Zhang Qi's mother came out to meet everyone, everyone became more cautious.
Zhang Qi's mother is a bejeweled lady, and she is very well maintained at first glance.
But she greeted everyone with a smile, but everyone just felt that she didn't see them in her eyes, and they always felt that the smile in those eyes was a little cold.
With a little disdain and contempt, even too lazy to hide and hide. Came out to say hello purely to show her presence and upbringing.
K Dalai gave Zhang Qi a birthday, not only a few people from the student union, but also her three suitors. Zhang Qi's mother only talked to them alone.
These three suitors are all from good families and can be called rich second-generation people. Looking at the appearance of Zhang Qi's mother, it is obvious that they know their existence.
Afterwards, the lady smiled and said, "You are free and have fun."
Before she left, she casually glanced at Yue Song, who was wearing the same plaid shirt as Qian Wei, and turned to go upstairs.
Yue Song observed her for a while when she first appeared. He has seen a lot of such arrogant ladies, nothing unusual. It's just a little strange why such a mother would teach Zhang Qi's character.
Zhang Qi is rich and beautiful, and she should be a proud eldest lady like her mother. But in fact, what Yue Song saw from her saying goodbye to Senior Sister Jiang, her liking to be surrounded by others, and many other small details were all her lack of self-confidence. Desperately wanting to overpower others and seek approval.
She doesn't have the pride that a real daughter-in-law has been pampered.
When Zhang Qi's mother greeted everyone separately, Yue Song observed that it was easy to distinguish several groups of people, which were middle school classmates and which were children of family friends.
One girl and two boys were special, and the three of them were significantly younger than the others. And she was very affectionate with Zhang Qi's mother, calling her "Auntie", she knew very well that she was Zhang Qi's aunt and cousin.
So, what about my cousin
What about Zhang Yanyan
When the dinner started, Yue Song understood that Zhang Yanyan would probably not come.
In theory, everyone feels that the same surname is a family. But for Zhang Qi's birthday, she invited her cousin's cousin, but didn't call her cousin. It can be seen that she is closer to her maternal relatives.
The relationship with Zhang Yanyan is not good.
The dinner is also a luxurious and sumptuous buffet, and a professional party chef team is invited.
Before Qian Wei came, he clamored that he must eat a lot to get back his capital, but when the time came, he couldn't let go, and he ate more gently than usual.
According to Zhang Qi, there are still some arrangements after the meal, some multiplayer games or something. But Yue Song was no longer interested, and he planned to leave after dinner.
He went to the bathroom, and when he was about to go back to the restaurant, he passed a small living room. He glanced inadvertently, and was suddenly attracted by a photo on the wall.
There was a western-style fireplace in that room, and a family portrait hung on the wall above the fireplace.
The two sons, with their wives and children, surrounded an extravagant old lady.
Needless to say, this old lady must be the old lady Song Lanying, the current head of the Zhang family. The Yue family has no contact with the Zhang family, but Mr. Yue has also heard of Mrs. Song. Among the several powerful women in this province, she ranks first.
The old lady was sitting on a chaise longue, and on her left was the lady just now, Zhang Qi's mother. Then in theory, the right-hand side should be another daughter-in-law.
It's just this woman, why is she so thin
Yue Song remembered that his cousin Xue Xintong had told him that Zhang Yanyan's mother had passed away a few years ago. Judging from the appearance in this photo, it should have died of illness.
Zhang Qi in the photo is much younger than she is now, and she is still a young girl. Standing beside her mother, she stood meticulously.
Another little girl was also sitting on the chaise longue, snuggling with the scrawny woman.
The three men of the Zhang family were all standing behind.
It looks like a thriving, and a big family of He Meimei. If his grandfather saw it, he would definitely be envious. The Yue family has been passed down for three generations.
"Yue Song!" Zhang Qi suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall with a smile, "I said why I can't see you anymore, so it's here."
"Ah, sorry." Yue Song apologized for trespassing. At first glance, this is the living space for my family, not for entertaining guests. "I couldn't help but come in and take a look when I saw this."
Zhang Qi was very happy to have the opportunity to talk to Yue Song alone. She walked over and glanced at it and said, "It's a family photo from several years ago. This is my aunt. She has already passed away."
It was exactly as he had guessed.
Yue Song did not know that the Zhang family took family portraits every year. But because Zhao Lanfen didn't like Liang Yingying, Zhang Yu's family kept the last photo with Zhang Yansheng's mother, and did not replace it with a new family photo.
The old lady's place and Zhang Huan's house were replaced with new ones for Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng.
Yue Song looked at the little girl in the photo who was cuddling closely with her skeleton-shaped mother, and asked, "Is this child... ?"
"Oh, this is my cousin Zhang Yansheng." Zhang Qi sighed in a compassionate voice, "I have no mother at such a young age, which is pitiful."
Yue Song turned his head and asked unexpectedly, "What is Zhang Yan?"
"Zhang Yansheng." Zhang Qi wondered why he was so interested in a primary school student in the photo, "Yan Guo is the voice of the geese."
Geese sound
Wild geese match males and females. If they are orphaned, the remaining one will not find a partner until it dies. It has been a symbol of perseverance since ancient times.
I really admire my cousin, a girl with temperament like her, how did my cousin come up with a cheesy name like "Zhang Yanyan" to match her
Yue Song closed his open mouth and nodded: "Good name."
Zhang Qi's compassion was gone, and she said unhappily, "That's it."
Yue Song stopped talking and looked at the little girl in the photo again. Her brows could tell it was her. She's been so pretty since she was a kid.
But unlike her grown-up, the girl who clings to her mother's eyes is very gentle. At first glance, it is a soft and warm girl.
Yue Song remembered Zhang Yansheng's bright and cold face, the corners of his unsmiling mouth, and his cool eyes...
There was a slight turbulence in his heart, and a touch of pity was born.
Back in the restaurant, Yue Song told Qian Wei that he planned to leave after dinner, and asked Qian Wei if he wanted to go together.
Qian Wei didn't want to leave yet: "I still want to stay for a while. There may not be opportunities in the future. Long experience!"
So Yue Song sent a text message. After everyone had dinner and moved to the meeting hall, he waited for a while. After receiving the text message, he got up and said goodbye to Zhang Qi. Today, Mr. Yue wanted to arrest him to the company. He has already lost all morning for Zhang Qi, and it is not worth spending more time here.
Of course Zhang Qi wanted to keep him, but Yue Song declined: "There are still things at home."
One of Zhang Qi's rich second-generation suitors choked: "What's the matter? It's more important than Zhang Qi's birthday! It's too rude!"
Yue Song kept a low profile in college so that his college life could not be affected by his family background, and he could interact with his classmates normally. Not for the sake of being slapped.
The cold star-like eyes glanced over, and the choked rich second generation paused, his aura obviously shrank due to the cold glance.
But he was immediately ashamed. Looking at the cheap plaid shirt on Yue Song's body, he regained his confidence and wanted to talk again.
Zhang Qi stopped him and defended Yue Song: "There is something at home, what are you talking about." Then she said to Yue Song gently and considerately, "Are you in a hurry? I'll ask the driver at home to see you off."
Yue Song smiled and refused: "No, I have already called a car."
Zhang Qi went to see Yue Song at the door, but did not see the car Yue Song called. Yue Song left Zhang Qi's house and kept walking until he disappeared.
The rich second generation sneered: "Where is the called car? Is this going to take the bus?"
