After pressing the elevator button to the second floor, Su Tiantian saw that she and Liu Jingze were the only ones in the elevator. She asked, "Brother Jing, do Dad and Godfather often beat you?"
Liu Jingze asked in return: "Will my father-in-law beat Zhihao?"
Su Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I think when I was a kid, I was too naughty and got a few slaps. You've seen what that's like. When you grow up, you'll just get scolded at most. What about you?"
Liu Jingze said, "My father would occasionally get extremely angry and hit me with a ruler a few times, not very hard. He would scold me, but when he got really angry, he would scold me behind closed doors. He usually wouldn't scold me outside. My godfather had been in the army and was always exercising, so he was very skilled. He would reason with me in a firm manner, and the spankings were just talk."
Su Tiantian said: "Seeing you get along with them, you are really full of family love. They really love you, and you are also very filial to them. Not only do you not fight back when you are hit, but you also don't hide."
Liu Jingze said: "There is nothing to hide."
The elevator door opened, and it was Xiao Boyang and Zheng Ziyang who came out from another elevator. They were also surprised to see Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian. Zheng Ziyang said, "Jingze, I was just about to call you." He grabbed Liu Jingze's arm and said, "Sister-in-law Tiantian, please lend me Jingze." Then he called Xiao Boyang. The three of them hid in the corner and no one knew what they were talking about. Su Tiantian had to lean against the wall and look at her mobile phone, waiting.
Another person walked out of the elevator. Su Tiantian also recognized that person. It was Xu Liangming. There was a beautiful woman beside him. He said, "Good evening, sister-in-law. You're here. Where's Jingze?" Su Tiantian looked up and gestured. Xu Liangming saw the three people and said, "What are you three whispering about?"
Zheng Ziyang stopped talking and walked towards Xu Liangming, saying as he walked, "Liangming, you're here. Is this your girlfriend?"
Xu Liangming said: "This is my friend. Bring her here to see her. Where is your girlfriend?" He glanced at Xiao Boyang.
Zheng Ziyang clearly understood what he meant: "Hui Lin is not my girlfriend. She is at work. Otherwise, how would Brother Bo and Jing Ze have time to be here?"
Liu Jingze stepped forward, shook Su Tiantian's hand and said, "Let's go in, it's almost time."
After walking more than ten meters, they came to the reserved box. The door was open. After entering, they saw quite a few people there. Some of them Su Tiantian knew, and some she didn't. Many people greeted Liu Jingze and the others. Of course, some people called her sister-in-law. Everyone took their seats. Liu Jingze was on Su Tiantian's right, Zheng Ziyang was on her left, and Xiao Boyang sat on Liu Jingze's right. The table was very big, and it wasn't crowded even with more than ten people sitting there.
Huang Jiekang said, "Is everyone here?"
Zheng Ziyang looked around and said, "The twelve of us in the group are all here, right? There are still some extra people here, people I don't know."
Xu Liangming said: "If you don't know him, I'll introduce him to you later."
Xiao Boyang said, "Let's order first. I'm hungry. It's seven o'clock."
Huo Yichao said, "Come, come, pour some wine."
Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian looked at the menu together and quickly ordered what they wanted to eat. The others also ordered their dishes.
Feng Xueru smiled cordially: "Jingze, let me introduce someone to you. The person sitting next to me is my younger brother Feng Xueshao."
Feng Xueshao bore a striking resemblance to Feng Xueru, both being handsome and well-proportioned. He said warmly, "Hello, so you are my uncle's adopted son. Based on age, I should call you cousin."
Liu Jingze raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile: "I remember my cousin's surname is Ren, Godfather knows it, no, there is also a cousin named Ma, my wife's cousin is also my cousin."
Some people looked like they were watching a show, some had meaningful smiles on their faces, some were angry but didn't dare to lose their temper, some seemed to be indifferent, and some had no expression on their faces.
Feng Xueshao frowned slightly, but only for a moment, and soon returned to smiling: "You don't like me calling you cousin, so I'll call you Brother Jingze. I just called my uncle, and he told me to visit him when I'm free. He lives in this hotel."
Feng Xueru said with concern: "Jingze, I heard that my uncle moved out after living in your house for two days, saying that he was not used to it. What happened?"
Liu Jingze said nonchalantly, "The godfather is upstairs right now. Why don't you go and ask him in person and show some concern."
Feng Xueru's face, full of pride, froze at that moment, but he quickly smiled again and kept smiling.
Feng Xueshao said, "Brother Jingze, you don't seem to like my brother and me very much. We are all relatives of my uncle, and we should get along well with each other."
Zheng Ziyang said, "I've been listening to you guys chatting. Have you forgotten the purpose of today's gathering? To celebrate Jingze's birthday."
Huang Jiekang raised his glass and said, "Yes, today is to celebrate Jingze's birthday in advance. Happy birthday, Jingze. I toast to you."
Xiao Boyang said: "Let's all toast Jingze together. Happy birthday, Jingze. May you be in good health."
Liu Jingze smiled faintly: "Thank you everyone."
The girl sitting next to He Hubin, with a slim figure, fair skin, delicate makeup, double eyelids, bright eyes, and fashionable clothes, said, "This is Mrs. Liu, right? Don't you drink?"
