Chapter 57 Dinner "Yingying is becoming more and more like a little white rabbit."...
Qiao Ruoying went out, followed the map, and took the subway to find her sister.
Beiyan University.
The school gate with blue bricks and white pillars is magnificent and symmetrical on both sides, like an open thick ancient book with the four characters "Beiyan University" inscribed on it, which is particularly powerful.
At the school gate, cars are coming and going;
Under the bare ginkgo tree, Qiao Ruoqi, wearing a light yellow cotton coat, kept rubbing her hands together. The howling north wind blew her hair back. Behind her stood a boy in a black down jacket. It was her boyfriend Link.
The young couple has been arguing these days about whether Qiao Ruoqi should study abroad.
"Then I won't study abroad." Qiao Ruoqi said casually.
Link curled his lips, a hint of complaint in his tone: "If only your family were as rich as ours."
His parents are both leaders of state-owned enterprises, a typical "small town Brahmin" family.
Before, he had always thought things were simple. With their family background, it would be just a matter of studying abroad and taking his girlfriend Qiao Ruoqi with him.
But some time ago, Link's parents came to North City to see him. He asked his parents to bring his girlfriend to study abroad with him. His parents gave him a stern lecture and talked to him earnestly about practical issues such as the family's financial situation and the support of the elders for the younger generations. Link regretted his decision.
He regretted being too arrogant at that moment, and also regretted finding a girlfriend like Qiao Ruoqi, who was not a good match for him.
Qiao Ruoqi heard this, her eyebrows raised, and she said angrily, "What are you talking about? Listen, is this reasonable?"
Link accidentally revealed his true thoughts, realized his mistake, and quickly comforted Qiao Ruoqi:
"I was wrong. I didn't mean to think that."
“…”
Qiao Ruoqi wanted to argue with him, but Link advised, "Qiqi, stop arguing. Your sister is coming soon."
Hearing Link say this, Qiao Ruoqi held her anger back in her stomach.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Ruoying met her sister and her boyfriend at the university gate.
The two of them took her around the campus.
Although Qiao Ruoying is slow, she is very sensitive to the emotions of her loved ones.
Walking in the bleak campus, she could feel that her sister was not in a very good mood, as if she had to force herself to smile because of the arrival of her elder sister.
At noon, after eating Beiyan University’s famous spicy hotpot together, Qiao Ruoying sent Link away under the pretext of wanting to go shopping with her sister in the afternoon.
Before Link left, she gave him the headphones.
Lin Ke returned to the dorm with the headphones and eagerly scanned the QR code on Taobao. He saw they were a basic pair of high-end brand headphones, priced at over 500 yuan. As a meeting gift for a complete stranger, it was definitely a decent enough gift.
Qiao Ruoqi's sister is quite generous.
The golden privet had lost its leaves, and its dry branches formed a long hedge. The two sisters walked on the sidewalk separated by the hedge. Qiao Ruoying put the gold pendant on her sister's wrist and fiddled with the little golden horse on it.
Her zodiac sign is rabbit, and Kiki's is horse.
Qiao Ruoying quietly asked her sister if she had a fight with Link recently and was in a bad mood.
Her question was exactly what Qiao Ruoqi wanted.
But she and Link had been dating for two years, and Qiao Ruoqi was too embarrassed to say anything bad about him in front of her sister. She could only stammer, "Link wanted me to study abroad, but his parents didn't seem to agree."
Qiao Ruoying listened and understood:
Link wanted Qiao Ruoqi to study abroad, but his parents paid for his study abroad expenses, so he had the desire to let Qiqi go abroad, but he did not have the ability to do so.
It is normal that Link's parents do not agree to pay for Qiao Ruoqi's expenses.
After all, Qiao Ruoqi is not their daughter-in-law and has nothing to do with them.
Qiao Ruoqi also has self-respect, and she is unwilling to use Link's family's money. However, Link keeps talking to her about the disadvantages of long-distance relationships, trying to persuade her to leave.
However, Qiao Ruoqi was not willing to let her mother pay for it.
Her mother had worked hard enough to raise her and her sister.
Qiao Ruoying gently stroked her sister's back and said softly, "Qiqi, putting aside Link's factors, if you were alone, would you like to study abroad?"
Qiao Ruoqi was startled by her sister's question and blinked.
Study abroad? Of course she wanted to go. The world was so big, and she didn't want to stay in just one corner of it. She wanted to explore more while she was still young.
When Qiao Ruoying saw the hope hidden in her sister's eyes when she talked about studying abroad, she understood everything. There was no doubt that her sister wanted to go.
Qiao Ruoying said softly, "If you really want to study abroad, I have money here, and I can pay for all your expenses."
Hearing her sister say this, Qiao Ruoqi looked up in surprise. "Sister, you've only been working for a year, is this really possible? Will it be very stressful?"
There was a determined light in her sister's unusually soft, bright, and beautifully curved eyes.
Qiao Ruoqi suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
That's how my sister is. No matter what, she always acts like an older sister in front of her, indulging her and giving in to her everywhere.
"Don't worry about the money. Just trust that I can afford it."
Qiao Ruoying scratched her sister's nose with her slender fingers and continued:
"But Chichi, you have to promise me that you're going abroad because you really want to see the world, not because Link wants you to go."
-
The day ended quickly.
In the second half, perhaps because of her sister's promise, Qiao Ruoqi felt relieved about studying abroad. She was visibly happier and chattered to Qiao Ruoying about many interesting stories about her love affair with Link.
Qiao Ruoying listened with a smile, but in her heart she felt that Link was not very good.
Since he wanted Qiqi to study abroad, he did not solve the problem specifically, but instead made Qiqi worry about it.
It’s better to kick out a boy like this.
Qiao Ruoying tactfully conveyed this idea to her sister, and Qiao Ruqi was stunned.
She recalled Link's gentle kindness towards her, how he coaxed her with his gentle words, and how he would wait for her downstairs in the dormitory every morning with soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns...
Qiao Ruoqi believed in her heart that Link cared about her, so she could only stammer to her sister, "Maybe Link is just under too much pressure. It can't be helped, his family conditions are better than ours..."
The boy's family conditions are better than their Qiao family, so does that mean the girl should be wronged?
Qiao Ruoying didn't know either.
She only knew that Jiang Zong had never let her suffer any injustice.
If you don’t give it now, what about later? Will you give it later?
Two days passed in a flash, and Qiao Ruoqi took her sister to see many scenic spots and historical sites in the north city. On the last day of New Year's Day, Qiao Ruoying slept in at Manhe and got enough sleep to refresh herself.
In the afternoon, the makeup artist and stylist who had made an appointment came to her house to do her hair.
Since Jiang Zongye repeatedly emphasized to the styling team that "the chest of the skirt should not be too exposed", the evening dress was designed with delicate three-dimensional ruffles on the chest, which wrapped the chest tightly. Only the waist was hollowed out and there was a small slit on the back.
Generally speaking, custom-made evening gowns are basically ordered by the hostess, and stylists rarely receive orders from male hosts to order evening gowns for their female companions.
Not to mention that Jiang Zongye's requirements were very specific. The stylist kept his requirements in mind and thought to himself that since the male host had such a strong possessiveness, his female companion must be a beauty and they must be very affectionate.
When the stylist arrived, he saw that it was indeed the case.
Qiao Ruoying cooperated obediently, allowing the stylist to apply foundation on her face, tie her hair into a bun, and change into a pure white evening dress.
She had almost finished tidying up her look when the alloy door opened and Jiang Zong came back.
The stylist team said goodbye.
It was the first time that Jiang Zong saw her dressed up. The stern expression he had originally had due to work disappeared, and his dark peach blossom eyes were blazing as he looked at the girl with a low bun and a pure white dress under the light.
She only put on a little foundation, some eye shadow at the corners of her eyes, and lip gloss on her lips. She was as fresh as the peach blossoms blooming in the mountains, like a fairy in the forest who grew up drinking the peach blossom dew.
Jiang Zong just stared at it in a daze.
She was wearing a white dress, and he actually imagined her wearing a white veil.
Qiao Ruoying rubbed the skin on the side of her face with the back of her hand.
This evening dress was very form-fitting, made of satin silk, and clung to her body, inevitably revealing the shape of her chest, waist, and hips, making her seem completely exposed to his gaze.
"Are you going to poke a hole in me?" she scolded him.
Jiang Zong also chuckled, then looked away and said seriously, "It's only natural for your boyfriend to look at you."
"Did you go to Lama Temple with your sister yesterday?"
When it came to going to Lama Temple, Qiao Ruoying nodded, went to the entrance, took out the miumiu black and gold bag, unzipped it, and took out an exquisite linen bag from it with the words "Longhe Temple" written on it.
She took out a round, golden pendant from her bag and handed it to him.
"This is a vajra. I even had it blessed by a master. It's perfect for hanging on your briefcase."
In this way, Jiang Zongye can be blessed to drive away villains and demons in the business world and have smooth sailing.
Jiang Zong also twisted the vajra, examining it carefully for a long time. He had been given a gold collar, a longevity lock, a safety buckle, and a safety lock since birth, and the quality, shape, and workmanship of this vajra were inferior.
But...as long as Qiao Ruoying has her heart in it, it is the best gift.
Jiang Zongye hugged her to him and kissed her forehead lovingly.
Then he took her to the jewelry room.
The jewelry room had many displays, and on the black velvet neck stand, the jewels shone brightly. Jiang Zong also put on black gloves, a thin layer that made his knuckles extremely straight and tough, and took down a teardrop-shaped diamond necklace from the stand.
The largest teardrop-shaped diamond just hangs in the hollow of her collarbone, and the slender collarbone and the dazzling diamond complement each other.
Qiao Ruoying put it on and admired herself in the mirror. She felt like a little mermaid who had just emerged from the bottom of the sea. The color of her scales when the sunlight reflected on her body was like the light emitted by a diamond.
Jiang Zong was also very satisfied. He took a step back and admired her outfit today.
His little Ying is very suitable as a clothes hanger.
Originally, Qiao Ruoying was worried that it was freezing outside and she would be frozen to death. As a result, Jiang Zong also gave her a mink cloak. The fur was snow-white without a trace of other colors. It was draped over her shoulders and hung down to her knees.
The two of them went down from the elevator to the garage. The cold wind blowing in from the garage entrance made the mink's hair fluffy and her cheeks rosy.
Against the backdrop of the wide hood, her lips were red and her teeth were white, making her look particularly lovely.
Jiang Zong also pinched her face and said in a hoarse voice: "Now Yingying looks more and more like a little white rabbit."
Snow-white and furry, isn't that a rabbit? Or a snow rabbit, the kind that burrows in the snow, plump and adorable.
Little rabbit?
Qiao Ruoying blinked and looked at Jiang Zongye, who was dressed in a dinner suit and stood straight and tall.
Even the leather shoes on his feet were shiny and spotless, and with his lips slightly raised and a slightly nonchalant smile, he looked like the protagonist from an otaku game.
She snorted back, "If I'm the little white rabbit, then you're the big bad wolf."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Zong also laughed softly, his voice raspy. Little white rabbit and big bad wolf, how could this description be so apt?
"I'm dancing tonight with you, the big bad wolf."
“Dances with Wolves.”
She added in a sweet voice, and shook her mink cloak, so that the fur swayed like a sea of snow.
Jiang Zong also suppressed his laughter and said, "Not only will Yingying dance with the wolves, she will also sleep with them."
"The wolf ate the little rabbit bit by bit, and ate every piece of meat cleanly."
He said the last sentence while rubbing her ear.
Qiao Ruoying felt a pang of pain in her ears, and she glared at him. She put her fingers on her petal-like lips and made a zippering motion, meaning for him to shut his mouth.
Sitting in the leather back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Jiang Zong also explained to her in detail the ins and outs of the dinner.
The dinner was hosted by the Chen family in North City. The guests were the young scions of several of their old friends and the social networks connected to them. The purpose was to exchange resources and get to know each other.
Jiang Zong also brought her to the dinner party, intending to let her experience more and see more of the world.
Last time, he used the opportunity of buying a house to teach this girl how to deal with service providers, but she seemed reluctant to learn.
If she doesn't want to learn, then she should first learn how to deal with large occasions such as dinners and parties. All social activities are inseparable from resource exchange, expanding personal connections, attracting investment and finding relationships. He wants her to become familiar with the tricks here as soon as possible, and at the same time demystify such large occasions.
"When you get there, accept the waiters' service calmly. They will help you store your clothes and retrieve your belongings. You can also tell them if you need anything."
"If they ask you private questions, such as where your home is or which university you attended, you don't have to answer if you don't want to," Jiang Zongye said.
"Wouldn't that be rude?"
"No, you have the initiative. You can also answer softer and more vaguely."
"Then I don't know how to find topics to talk about with them. What should I do?" Qiao Ruoying adjusted her skirt.
"No, they'll find the topics. If they don't, you don't have to keep trying to find topics to avoid awkward silences. Listen more and talk less."
"good."
"Just stay with me."
Jiang Zong also squeezed her hand.
Finally, the Rolls-Royce Phantom turned into a quiet and scenic spot on the West Second Ring Road.
What came into view was an exquisite bronze statue of a man with a straight waist, striding with his head held high, holding five horses in his hands. The bright light of Menting reflected on his delicate jawline, revealing a metallic texture.
The fountain gushed out from the man's head and the horse's mane, scattered in the hazy and dazzling light like scattered pearls.
Qiao Ruoying got out of the car, and the whistling cold wind passed by her feet.
It was still freezing December, but the flowing fountain, the colorful bouquets of flowers decorating the doorsteps, the light, high-end fragrance in the air, and the sounds of whistles, string instruments and wind instruments made people feel as if they were in the lush spring.
Jiang Zong also stretched out his arm, and Qiao Ruoying obediently took it.
After climbing three steps and entering the arched hallway, comfortable warm air hit her face. A waiter came forward and took off Qiao Ruoying's cloak with a smile.
With Jiang Zongye's instructions, she calmly asked the waiter to take away the mink coat, revealing the mica white evening gown with ruffled top and hollow waist. Her figure was well-proportioned, and she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Qiao Ruoying stood with her back straight and shoulders open, looking calmly at people's ardent gazes. Her manners and demeanor were flawless. The diamond necklace made her look both radiant and charming, and graceful.
The Baccarat crystal chandelier above her head cast a bright halo of light, reflecting her beauty with a combination of porcelain and pearl.
A man in a silver-gray suit, Chen An, the eldest son of the Chen family, hurried through the crowd.
Before Chen An even approached, he extended a friendly handshake and said with a smile, "Jason, long time no see. Welcome back."
"Charles, long time no see."
The two men's hands clasped firmly in the air.
Chen An raised his arm and was about to say "Please come in" when Jiang Zong also raised his chin slightly, with a slightly arrogant attitude, as if introducing his most precious jewel to someone, and tilted his head slightly towards Qiao Ruoying:
"This is my girlfriend, Quennie, Miss Joe."

The author has something to say: Brother Jiang (proudly): This is my girlfriend, Qiao Ruoying. [Loop-eared rabbit head][Loop-eared rabbit head]
My dear friends, from now on, the story of Xiaoying and Laojiang will be updated six times a week. Today is Sunday, but tomorrow is Monday. From now on, it will be no update every Sunday. Thank you very much to my dear friends who have been with me throughout the long serialization period. Your daily reading, comments and encouragement are the great motivation for me to jump out of bed and write.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a jerk [burst into tears]. After years of hard work, I've developed back muscle strain, neck pain, and occasional bouts of bloating and indigestion. So, to stay in good shape and create more engaging interactions, I'm taking one day off each week. I hope everyone will pay more attention to their health and muscle strains from now on, and keep themselves in good shape. Love you all!
Don't worry, the author's baby has a strong ability to adjust! [Hug][Hug]
Let me just say this: Lao Jiang and Xiao Ying will have another big setback later on. We are just before it. Don't worry, my dears, they will be better after the setback! I tried my best to write the setback in a way that it doesn't torture Xiao Ying, but only the old man [please]. I hope my feelings are correct [please].
