On June 27, it had just rained in Zhoujiazhuang. The air in the countryside was washed clean by the rain. A few white clouds were floating comfortably in the blue sky. In the distance was a dense banana forest, which had just been exposed to the rain.
The banana trees are eye-catchingly green.
Next to the banana forest is a clear stream. Some freshly dressed children are asking Kutui to catch fish in the stream. Their bare and white feet are stepping on the slippery pebbles at the bottom. Once upon a time, Zhou Jian was one of them.
Member, but today, he is staying at home
Inside, playing with a bunch of shells on the table, Lanhai City is close to the sea, and Zhou Jian’s hometown is not very far from the sea, so some villagers and children will use shells and glue sticks to make some small crafts. Zhou Jian also used them when he was a child.
I played with it and it was so messy that I couldn't tell the difference between cattle and sheep.
Zhou Jian had thought for a long time about the "careful" gift that Wenren Huiyin wanted. The first thing he thought of was the diamond that was mortgaged at the Las Vegas Bounty Hunters Association. When he went to the trade fair to sell diamonds, there was a
A blue diamond with all the data being perfect. Because it was so rare, he was reluctant to sell it. However, he needed money at that time, so he mortgaged the diamond in Las Vegas. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed. Zhou
Jian never redeemed it.
Zhou Jian originally wanted to use that perfect blue diamond to make a ring for Wen Ren Huiyin, but diamond rings are usually only used when getting engaged, and now Wen Ren Huiyin is only celebrating his birthday, and the two have just established a relationship. The only thing is
The next time I got there, I accidentally bumped into him, and it seemed inappropriate to give him a diamond ring.
So Zhou Jian thought about gluing a shell craft to give to Huiyin. Although it was a bit silly, he really couldn't think of anything else. After all, he was not as versatile as Wenren Huiyin.
He glued the music box that Huiyin gave him little by little. At some point, Zhou Jian's mother Zhou Cuilan appeared behind Zhou Jian: "Son, why are you glueing the shells?"
"Uh... birthday gift...," Zhou Jian said.
He had already told his mother yesterday that he was going to attend his girlfriend's birthday party tomorrow. Zhou Cuilan was of course very happy when she found out about it, and immediately took out a jade that was said to be a "heirloom" of the Zhou family.
The bracelet was given as a gift to the soon-to-be daughter-in-law. The shape of the bracelet looks really tacky.
It was so filthy that it almost shocked Zhou Jian to death. Before, he had only seen this kind of jade bracelet in ancient TV series. Usually, it is passed down from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, who in turn passes it on to daughter-in-law. It is passed down from generation to generation.
I don’t know what those ancient mothers-in-law thought. They all liked this kind of stuff very much.
Zhou Cuilan had long seen her son's disdain for her gift. Now she saw that he was gluing shells again, and she couldn't help but nagging: "I don't care about these nonsense things you give me. I must give you the bracelet."
Come on, what a generous and decent thing...
"I know, I know, I promise to deliver it..." Zhou Jian muttered impatiently.
Although I despise the jade bracelet prepared by my mother, the handmade shells I glued don’t seem to be very good at all. How can I see how these two gifts have deteriorated...
The birthday party was held on Hong Kong Island, in the ancestral villa of the Wenren family. In fact, the Wenren family did not have a family headquarters. The family's children were scattered throughout Lingnan. This ancestral home on Hong Kong Island only belonged to the family's father.
residence.
Not every family child's birthday party with the nature of an engagement and coming-of-age ceremony can be held in the ancestral home. Sometimes some children who are disliked by a well-known old man hold a birthday party, and the old man will not even attend.
The fact that Wen Ren Huiyin's birthday party was held here actually proved the old man's love for this great-granddaughter.
Zhou Jian arrived at noon that day. To attend such a wealthy banquet, of course he would not go wearing all the street clothes. Now that he is somewhat wealthy, he can afford to buy clothes worth tens of thousands, so Zhou Jian went to Hong Kong specifically.
I picked out a brand-name outfit from the clothing city on the island and put on a neat evening dress. Coupled with his charm bonus, I actually looked presentable.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jian rushed to the Wen family's ancestral villa in Jiudu Mountain.
The villa covers an area of several acres, with a swimming pool and a small golf course. In Jiudu Mountain, Hong Kong Island, where rich people gather and every inch of land is at a premium, such a villa is worth at least 4 to 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. In other words, this one building alone
The villa is equivalent to the total assets of Zhou Jian's Yuntai Company, and Yuntai Company is not actually Zhou Jian's personal property.
The taxi was stopped before entering the villa area. Zhou Jian showed the invitation before he could enter. Without the taxi, Zhou Jian had to walk.
Along the way, there was a dazzling array of Bugatti Veyrons, Rolls-Royce Phantoms, Lamborghinis, and Ferrari limited editions. At this kind of wealthy banquet where all the elites gathered, the princes from all over Lingnan and Hong Kong Island went all out to show off their faces.
I wish I could transport the cars that are far away from each other by ship to Hong Kong Island and then drive them out.
Looking around, he was the only one walking. Zhou Jian was quite speechless. Why couldn't taxis enter?
After arriving at the door of the villa, he checked the invitation again. At least the guard at the door of the villa was well behaved and did not show any contempt for Zhou Jian. After checking Zhou Jian's invitation respectfully, he let Zhou Jian in.
Courtyard.
Zhou Jian was led by etiquette into the banquet hall. The banquet hall covers an area of hundreds of square meters. The floor is covered with a brand new red carpet, and the dome is hung with exquisite and luxurious glazed chandeliers. The guests in the hall are wearing luxurious dresses and carrying
Wine glasses are used to chatting in groups. This kind of wealthy banquet is itself an exchange meeting for the upper class, so people from all parties will take this opportunity to meet some celebrities and even discuss business and cooperation.
When everyone meets, the first thing they usually do is exchange business cards, and then say something like, "Oh, it turns out that my brother is named x. I have long admired your name, and today I am lucky enough to meet you."
Zhou Jian didn't have a business card at all, but later he soon discovered that he didn't need a business card, because basically no one paid attention to him when he was among them. Occasionally, a few Shuyuan from a well-known family who thought Zhou Jian was charming would flirt with him.
There was a little interest, but after a few words of conversation to learn about Zhou Jian's general situation, everyone left with a smile.
Zhou Jian just ate fruit boredly until almost eight o'clock, when he saw Wen Renhuiyin in the crowd.
Wen Ren Huiyin wore a white evening dress today. Her long hair, which was always tied up casually, was carefully pulled up. She applied a little foundation and a light blush on her cheeks, and a light blush on her lips.
Chun cream, her originally long eyelashes were carefully curled, highlighting her already overly large eyes.
This is the first time Zhou Jian saw Wen Ren Huiyin wearing light makeup. If she was like a fresh lily before, then she is like a beautiful rose today. No matter what kind of Wen Ren Huiyin looks like,
Huiyin made Zhou Jian feel sincerely fond of her.
But Zhou Jian soon had no intention of admiring Wenren Huiyin's beauty, because at this time, a man stood next to Wenren Huizhu, chattering to Huiyin, while Huizhu responded with a smile,
While looking around, he looked for a certain figure in the crowd.
Zhou Jian walked over directly and said to the man: "Sorry, please give way..."
The man frowned and glanced at Zhou Jian with some displeasure, but out of the gentleman's restraint he had to show in front of beautiful women, he still said politely: "Who is this gentleman?"
Zhou Jian smiled slightly and said, "I am Huiyin's classmate.,.
Hearing the affectionate name Huiyin, the man became even more upset. He said in his heart that Huiyin was also your name? And what he wanted to know was Zhou Jian's family background and Huiyin's classmate? What kind of answer was this?
He was about to say something more, but the scene that followed left him speechless. He saw his colleague Huiyin holding the boy's arm affectionately, and then said to himself apologetically, "Excuse me."
Then she dragged the boy away and left the man standing there blankly. What does your mother have to do with them?
Although all the guests who came here to attend the banquet knew that this coming-of-age birthday banquet had the nature of a blind date, they only acquiesced to it. In fact, the Wenren family did not say it explicitly. They just invited celebrities from all over the world according to their usual practice.
The family probably already has a name and an owner.
Wen Renhuiyin dragged Zhou Jian to a corner with few people, and said to Zhou Jian: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy today. I've been busy since I got up in the morning. I couldn't pick you up at the station. Are you angry?"
Zhou Jian smiled and said: "How can I be so stingy? Besides, I have legs and legs, so I can do it myself."
…”.
"Haha, really? The family has prepared a hotel for the banquet guests. Can you stay on Hong Kong Island for a few days? I'm busy today and want to go see a movie or something with you, okay?,.
"Well, okay...,.
Zhou Jiancai and Wen Renhuiyin said a few words, and then people started walking this way. As the heroine tonight, Wen Renhuiyin is too eye-catching.
A tall young man in military uniform came over with a wine glass in hand. He glanced at Zhou Jian and glanced at the hands they held together. Although he had a smile on his face, there was something in his eyes.
But his hostility could not be concealed: "Where does this gentleman find a job?,.
This young man asked questions very skillfully. He did not ask who Zhou Jian was, but directly asked about Zhou Jian's background, because if he asked anyone, he would get someone like I am Wen Renhuiyin's boyfriend.
If you answer, then you are asking for disgust.
Although looking at the situation now, the relationship between the two is already inseparable, but the young man does not care about it. How many of the children of the big family have never been in love before they were officially engaged? Let alone falling in love, they are all
Yes, taking himself as an example, he can count the number of girls he has slept with now on two hands, so it is not important whether Wenren Huiyin has a boyfriend or not. What is important is what is the identity of her boyfriend? Does his background match his own?
powerful?
According to his experience, the first love partners of children from big families often come from grass-roots backgrounds, and 99% of the time they fall in love later on. That's why he directly asked about Zhou Jian's background!
