Approaching the gate of the villa, I put aside my bad thoughts and observed Chen Wanwan's father again.
Chen Qiuhong is in his forties. A closer look shows that the hardships of his early years have left traces of wind and frost on his face. He looks like he is in his early fifties. His gray hair is neatly combed and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
, with a bit of elegance, he is definitely a man of the hour in Shenzhen. I often see him on TV attending various events and meetings. His identity is not only a successful entrepreneur, but also a municipal representative.
"Chen Wanwan and his father don't seem happy today."
After looking at Chen Qiuhong for a while, I turned my head and whispered to Wu Zipei: "Do you think the red envelopes they received for this banquet were not enough, so they felt unhappy."
"Pfft..."
Wu Zipei couldn't hold it back and chuckled, "You have such a mean mouth. If someone beats you one day, you won't even know who is going to fix you. You have offended too many people."
Along the way with Wu Zipei, I felt that strange eyes were always looking at me from time to time. After looking around casually, I realized that in the courtyard, both men and women, young and old, were all dressed very formally.
Men, in particular, were wearing either suits or tuxedos. Even the waiters serving drinks were wearing vests and bow ties. I was the only one wearing a T-shirt with Spongebob printed on it, along with a washcloth.
The pale jeans look very different, no wonder they are so eye-catching.
I was so embarrassed. My face became hot. I lowered my head and kept rubbing my nose. I avoided everyone's gaze to cover up my embarrassment. I glared at Wu Zipei and said in a low voice: "Is there any mistake? They all wear formal clothes.
Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could change my clothes and come here."
"Do you have a suit?" Wu Zipei didn't seem to care at all.
"Well!"
I was stunned, because I really don’t have a suit, and I have never worn this thing before, and said: “If you don’t have one, I can borrow it! If you can’t borrow it, you can always rent it. See for yourself. I’m so embarrassed, little master.”
Yes, please invite me to Huangbeiling to eat lobster tomorrow."
"cut……"
Wu Zipei raised his middle finger and said disdainfully: "You are the dance partner I invited. I don't even feel embarrassed. What are you afraid of? Also, if you can have some potential, I will invite you to Qingya Pavilion to eat seafood until you vomit."
until."
"Okay!" I agreed without hesitation. Compared with satisfying my appetite, losing face is not a big deal. Face is worth a lot of money! Qingyage is a famous place for eating seafood. As long as you are willing to spend money,
Seafood from all over the world is basically available.
Walking to the door of the villa, Wu Zipei's cold face suddenly became bright, and her smile was like a bud about to bloom. She took out a small gift box, handed it to Chen Wanwan, and said with a smile
: "Wanwan, you are so beautiful today! Happy birthday to you."
Chen Wanwan seemed to be trying to squeeze out a smile, "Thank you, Peipei,
You are beautiful too, I am glad you can come today."
The two people ended their conversation with just two words. Although the words were beautiful, the tone was gentle, and the smiles were gentle and gorgeous, it could still be seen that their personal relationship was indeed not very good. The reason why Wu Zipei came here was
It was completely a formality, and it also made me see the hypocrisy of women in a certain sense.
"Ye Xiao, I didn't expect you to come today."
Just as Wu Zipei and I were about to enter the villa, Chen Wanwan suddenly said to me: "I've always wanted to invite you, but I asked two classmates in your class and they both said they didn't have your phone number and couldn't contact you.
"
When I saw my daughter greeting me, Chen Qiuhong next to me also looked at me one more time.
I was stunned for a moment. Firstly, I didn’t expect that Chen Wanwan would actually know me. It was normal for me to know her. After all, she was the one who attracted the most attention in school, and I was just an ordinary college student. Thrown into a crowd, apart from my appearance,
Apart from being a young and handsome boy, there is nothing particularly outstanding in other aspects. I didn't expect that she actually called me by my name.
Secondly, how could she invite me? Although Chen Wanwan and I are schoolmates, we have no intersection. Even if we met at school, to be honest, we are not even a nod acquaintances. We are completely two people who will never intersect.
parallel lines.
Chen Wanwan noticed my doubts and said, "Last semester, Teacher Xu told me that you helped me identify the arrowhead. I always wanted to thank you, but I never had time."
I suddenly remembered that last semester, Teacher Xu from the Department of Cultural Relics gave me a stone arrowhead, which is an object that looks like the arrowhead of a bow, and asked me to help identify it. At that time, I took it to the museum where my uncle worked.
After doing carbon 14, it was determined that it was an object from the Stone Age dating back 1.2 million years ago.
"Is that arrowhead yours?" I asked.
Chen Wanwan shook her head, glanced at Chen Qiuhong, and said, "It belongs to my father. He likes to collect this kind of things."
Chen Qiuhong actually reached out to me and said, "So you are Ye Xiao, and you and my daughter are schoolmates. Let's talk more later. Maybe I will ask you to help identify some stones in the future, hehehehe..."
I was flattered and quickly stretched out my hand, with a smile on my face, and shook hands with Chen Qiuhong. I didn't expect that a person like him would be so easy-going and without any airs, and took the initiative to shake hands with me, a little person who has never graduated from college.
: "You're welcome, Uncle Chen. I just helped out a little bit, it's just a little effort, haha... The big deal is that Chen Wanwan treats me to a big dragon... Oops..."
I screamed, and Wu Zipei pinched my waist hard, and everyone's eyes turned to me again.
"Another big lobster, no future." Wu Zipei snorted softly and walked into the villa alone.
Chen Wanwan saw my dilemma and chuckled, "Your girlfriend ran away, go chase her."
I don't
He kept rubbing the injured area and explained to Chen Wanwan: "I just made a joke, don't take it seriously! She is not my girlfriend, she was the one who brought me here today."
"You're going to die!"
In the villa, I found Wu Zipei who was eating a fruit platter and said, "Please help me take a look. He must be bleeding. It hurts the little master to death."
Before I could pick up my clothes, Wu Zipei tried to kick me again, so I quickly ducked away.
"Don't you want to make money?"
Wu Zipei held a plastic fork in her mouth and said, "Chen Wanwan's family has tens of billions of assets at least. There are three listed companies and a lot of industries. If you ask her to be your girlfriend, you can save eight lifetimes of struggle."
I rubbed my lower back and took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, "How is it possible that she would like me!"
"Actually, you are quite handsome, don't you know?"
Wu Zipei pinched my face in a playful way and said, "There are several girls in the girls' dormitory who are asking me for your contact information."
"snort!"
I raised the corner of my mouth and said, "Don't you look at who I am, young master. I am the embodiment of handsomeness and sunshine, a man who values both stability and substance. It's just a pity... the profession of the young master is not that of a little duck. I can't be a handsome person."
ah."
Wu Zipei snorted, "I gave you a pole, and you climbed to Mars."
Not long after, it was already half past twelve, and guests were arriving one after another. On the grass surrounding the villa yard, the waiters set up rows of long tables, with various meals neatly placed on them.
.
Chen Qiuhong held Chen Wanwan's hand, stood on a small temporary platform in the yard, picked up a glass of red wine, and said, "Today is my daughter Wanwan's 20th birthday. Thank you all for coming and making this humble house shine."
This is also called a humble house, so you should be modest! I thought to myself, do you want me to trade with you for the one-bedroom, one-living-room mansion with a squat toilet that my young master rented in the village in the city?
The father and daughter briefly said some words of thanks on the stage, and then the master of ceremonies arranged the process of today's birthday party. I stood aside and finally understood. From now to dinner time, basically all the guests are here.
For socializing and playing, that is, after eating, everyone can chat in the yard, or go out on the arranged yacht to fish, swim, or go for a walk in the mountains and enjoy the sea breeze. Anyway, you can do whatever you want.
you.
The birthday party does not officially begin until evening. Cake cutting, making wishes, opening gifts, dancing and other activities are all arranged in the evening.
I actually really want to go out to sea. After all, I have never been on a luxury yacht. I want to experience the life of a rich person, but when I think about the place I am unfamiliar with, I don’t know anyone except Wu Zipei.
It would be very awkward to sit among a bunch of strangers, so I simply gave up the idea.
