Sheng Yueqing had a three-tiered cake made early in the morning and also bought many gifts.
I drove myself and took my whole family to Qijia.
Qi Xinxin has now opened a clothing studio, which, although small, is quite well-known.
Some rich second-generation heiresses would order clothes from her.
She doesn't work at the company anymore; she makes clothes in her own studio.
Seeing Sheng Yueqing and the others arrive, she ran over with a smile, "Qingqing, you're here~"
Ever since she found out that Sheng Yueqing was also part of her family, Qi Xinxin has become even more attached to her.
"No wonder I like you so much, it turns out you're related to us by blood."
Sheng Yueqing laughed, "Speaking of which, we're actually sisters."
Qi Xinxin smiled, "Of course, you're still my older sister."
The two walked in hand in hand, affectionately.
He Yushen joined in the fun, saying, "Wife, I want to hold your hand too."
Qi Xinxin glared at him, "You're so clingy! Even when we girls hold hands, you have to come over."
He Yushen glared at her as if she were an idiot, "You should get married soon. You're always clinging to my wife, it's so sickening."
Qi Xinxin's eyes widened. "So what if you got married early?"
She just hasn't met someone she likes; if she had, she would have gotten married long ago.
Last year, her family introduced her to many wealthy second-generation men, but she didn't like any of them.
Most of those boys were old-fashioned and chauvinistic, and they looked down on her after hearing that she had opened a studio.
They felt it was beneath her, a rich young lady, to make clothes for others, which angered her so much that she stopped associating with those men.
Later, I met an outstanding college student who was said to have come from a village school.
He was a very talented person, but his family was very poor. It is said that he had six daughters and was the last child.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yueqing's heart skipped a beat.
"You'd better not run into a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success)."
She had witnessed many news reports of men from humble backgrounds causing their wives' deaths in her previous life, and she feared that Qi Xinxin would encounter the same fate.
Qi Xinxin didn't know what a "phoenix man" was at first.
Sheng Yueqing explained to her, "It means that the family is very poor, and the whole family is hoping that he can rise to a high position and become a phoenix, but the prerequisite for becoming a phoenix is to find a rich wife first."
"You have to step on your rich wife to get to the top, and then once you get power, your status will change."
After his wife stopped helping him, he kicked her out first.
Or perhaps he has even greater ambitions and wants to kill his wife so he can inherit her estate.
Then he'll marry a young and beautiful woman.
Of course, not every student who comes from the mountains is like that; there are also some very good ones.
Not everyone is a bad person, but we still have to be careful.
Qi Xinxin didn't believe it at first. "Really? He's quite outstanding. He came from such a remote place and even worked part-time while he was in school."
“I heard him say that he is now earning his own tuition and sending money home. He is a man with great ideals and a strong sense of responsibility.”
Sheng Yueqing always felt something was off.
Have you ever been to his home?
"It is said that a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation; if she marries the wrong person, it is truly the beginning of a disaster."
Qi Xinxin doesn't actually have any feelings for that man right now; she just admires him.
I appreciate the other person's efforts and their courage.
It's not time to talk about love yet.
Sheng Yueqing suggested, "How about this? I'll be passing through that place you mentioned next month. Why don't you come with me then?"
"Shall we go there and experience the local customs and culture? That would count as a vacation?"
After all, she was a good friend, and she didn't want her to go down a dangerous path.
Qi Xinxin trusted her and nodded in agreement.
He Yushen was eavesdropping nearby.
After hearing this, he wanted to join in the fun, so he asked, "Honey, can I go too?"
"I haven't had a vacation in a long time either, I want to travel too."
Qi Xinxin glared at him, "Why are you everywhere?"
She assumed that the college student must also be a good person because He Yushen was from the countryside but had good character.
I thought that if someone has good character, it wouldn't matter if they were poor.
But Qingqing is right too. If two people have very different upbringing, they won't have anything to talk about.
They even have different views on consumption.
Not every rural man is as devoted to his wife as He Yushen; one should be cautious.
So going to the countryside with Sheng Yueqing was actually a kind of investigation.
After the birthday banquet, Old Mrs. Sheng gathered with several upper-class ladies, intending to chat.
Unexpectedly, when those upper-class ladies saw her, they seemed indifferent and distant, and didn't even bother to talk to her.
Every time Mrs. Sheng attends an event, she is fawned over.
When did people become so indifferent?
She was right there, a living, breathing person, and those men didn't even glance at her.
Grandma Sheng was furious, but she couldn't vent her anger.
Today is the birthday of the Qi family matriarch, not her day, so she will just bear with it.
He went to Mrs. Sheng's place to complain, "What kind of person is he? He has no manners at all. I am an elder, and he didn't even greet me when he saw me."
They have absolutely no manners.
Mrs. Sheng glanced at the ladies and noticed that they seemed to have also been to Kyoto.
It's likely that they also have businesses in Kyoto.
It seems they know that Mr. Sheng has lost his status, so they don't even respect the old lady.
However, Old Mrs. Sheng was unaware of her son's suspension from work, and Mrs. Sheng did not intend to tell her, lest she get sick from the stress.
He simply said, "People these days are pretty indifferent. Since we can't get along, let's not join in the fun."
Grandma Sheng was angry. "They're so rude. I won't chat with them anymore."
After saying that, he angrily went to find Old Lady Qi.
Unexpectedly, the women around Old Madam Qi seemed to have heard the news and knew that the Sheng family was probably in trouble, so they all looked at Old Madam Sheng with suspicion.
They even asked her, "Grandma Sheng, how long have you been in Shanghai? Why aren't you going back yet?"
Grandma Sheng was puzzled. "It's so nice here, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
She still wants to retire here.
Although Kyoto is nice, the children are all here, and she and her husband would be lonely at home. It's better for her to live here with the children.
Why would these people ask such a question?
Grandma Sheng wasn't stupid; she quickly figured it out.
I immediately went to find Mr. Sheng.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Sheng was calmly playing chess with Mr. Qi and a few others.
Of course, these people were all shrewd, and someone asked Mr. Sheng when he would return to Beijing.
Mr. Qi deliberately interrupted.
Mr. Sheng was quite frank, saying, "The children are all here, so we won't go back. It's good for us to stay here and keep the children company."
These words were spoken.
Those businessmen understood.
They had initially suspected that the Sheng family was finished, but now that they heard they weren't going back, didn't that mean they had been removed from their posts?
Now that he has been removed from office, he has no further use.
This group of people originally came to the Qi family, hoping to make acquaintance with Mr. Sheng from Kyoto.
Now that Mr. Sheng is no longer of any use, everyone's attitude has become indifferent.
However, things seemed to be going well on the surface, and they were still chatting and laughing.
They simply lost interest in making friends; they didn't even give the gifts they brought, and left carrying them with them.
