Zheng Ruocheng on the other end of the phone sighed seriously, "I don't know either. Didn't my cousin's wife get angry and not talk to my mother? My mother thought she was right, so she complained to me, and then she imitated a few of her own words... Anyway, it was pretty unpleasant.
"My mother is really something! My cousin's wife is not like that group of people who only know how to go to the beauty salon to watch shows and talk about bags every day. She doesn't do anything except mocking and ridiculing others...
"My mother is always like this! She only knows how to say her own things to others..."
Huo Qinian raised his eyebrows.
His cousin is 17 years old this year, and is in her second year of high school. She is a spoiled young lady with a temper that is much worse than her ability. If he remembered correctly, she didn't like Yunbai very much at the beginning. Why does it seem that she respects Yunbai very much now?
After Zheng Ruocheng finished complaining, he said hesitantly, "My cousin, you said my mother is like this. If I ask my cousin's wife for something, will she ignore me?"
Huo Qinian laughed.
I thought he had improved, but it turned out that he was asking for help.
He asked casually, "What do you want to ask her?"
"Oh, it's just something. Don't ask. Just ask if my cousin's wife will pay attention to me..."
Huo Qinian didn't ask any more questions. After thinking for a while, he said, "You are you, and your mother is your mother. Your cousin's wife is a reasonable person and won't get angry for no reason."
This is also the point that Huo Qinian is most satisfied with. Most of the time, Su Yunbai is calm, rational, and has a big picture view. She is completely different from the arrogant young ladies he is familiar with.
Thinking of this, the strange feeling that had just arisen in Huo Qinian's heart quickly subsided - Yunbai was a reassuring person, and he was probably just tired just now, not deliberately avoiding him.
Huo Qinian drank the wine in the glass and went upstairs slowly.
"Have you told Huo Qinian? What did he say?" Xu Jinzhi put a glass of carbonated water in front of Su Yunbai and asked.
Su Yunbai was silent for a while, "I haven't said it yet."
Su Yunbai originally planned to ask Huo Qinian about going to congratulate Qu Qingyin and Qiao Qian.
She did not deny that she did want to take the opportunity to test him.
Su Yunbai did not think she was a suspicious person. Even though there have been a lot of gossip about Huo Qinian in the tabloids in City A, she has never taken it to heart and has been very calm.
But Qu Qingyin...
maybe it was the impact of those unknown text messages that had bombarded her for nearly half a year, or maybe it was the inexplicable sixth sense of women, this time, Su Yunbai always felt a little impatient.
She wanted to confirm something from Huo Qinian, at least to confirm his attitude towards Qu Qingyin.
This so-called Qu Qingyin Qiao Qian congratulations was a good topic. Su Yunbai originally planned to find a suitable time to ask. But after what happened last night, she had completely lost interest.
Su Yunbai took a sip of carbonated water and said, "Jinzhi, I don't want to say anything."
"Why?" Xu Jinzhi frowned, "I know you don't want to appear suspicious, but this matter is far from a question of being magnanimous or not...
"Let me put it this way, the people I have heard about who will go include Zhou Yueran, Zhou Yueran's brother, Zhao Xun, Zhang Zhizhao, He..."
Xu Jinzhi listed several names in a row, and looked at Su Yunbai seriously, "Do you know what these names mean? They mean Qu Qingyin's base camp! If you go there without any preparation, they will tear you apart!"
Su Yunbai laughed, "It's not that exaggerated."
Seeing that she didn't care much, Xu Jinzhi was secretly anxious: "Assistant, don't take it to heart! Those people have many tricks to kill without bloodshed! They don’t even need to utter bad words...”
Su Yunbai looked up at her, calmly, “I know.”
She knew it too well. She
didn’t need anyone else, just Huo Manying, to let her experience methods that she hadn’t experienced in the past twenty years.
Xu Jin was stunned.
She obviously thought of something, and she fell silent all of a sudden.
Su Yunbai didn’t want to spoil her fun, so he comforted her: “Don’t worry, I’m not an ignorant child. If it doesn’t work, I’ll leave early, can they still stop me? "
Saying this, she chuckled softly.
Under the soft light, her posture was very calm, with a sparkling in her eyes, and her whole person exuded a calmness that was not surprised by insults. She was clear and elegant, like a quietly blooming orchid, with a different kind of tranquility.
Xu Jinzhi felt heartbroken when he saw Su Yunbai like this.
Such a good assistant...how could Huo Qinian be so blind?
"No!" Xu Jinzhi was furious, "I can't let you be bullied by them. What private celebration... Bah, with the dog temper of that group of people, I can define the scope of this 'private' with my eyes closed.
"Wait a minute, I'll find my brother, he must have been invited, I'll ask him to take me there. Isn't she just a piece of shit Zhou Yueran? Can I not kill her..."
She said this and was about to take out her phone.
"Jinzhi!" Su Yunbai held her down in time, "You don't have to do this."
Su Yunbai looked at Xu Jinzhi and was touched.
The circle in City A is not small, but also not big. The Xu family is naturally one of the players in the circle.
But people in the circle are also divided into circles, and different people can't play together.
Xu Jinzhi's brother is the same age as Huo Qinian's group. When it comes to Xu Jinzhi, he is a few years older than them. Although they are familiar with each other, they don't usually play together.
So Xu Jinzhi is actually not very familiar with Qu Qingyin.
She and Zhou Yueran's group were not on good terms, and they would have a few words when they met. This time, Zhou Yueran obviously supported Qu Qingyin. If Xu Jinzhi still rushed to congratulate Qu Qingyin, wouldn't she be using her own face to help Zhou Yueran?
Xu Jinzhi, who was rich and free, cared more about her reputation and couldn't do such a face-losing thing.
But this time, she was obviously going to make an exception.
Su Yunbai was very touched, but she didn't think it was that serious.
Su Yunbai said, "Jinzhi, it's really not necessary. In fact..." She sighed softly, "Actually, I want to go and see it myself."
Some things really can't be avoided and pretended not to exist. It's been half a year. A project should have taken shape after half a year. It's not her style to drag on for half a year and still be standing still.
After hearing this, Xu Jinzhi paused in his movements and subconsciously looked up at Su Yunbai, as if she had lost her mind.
At this point, Su Yunbai did not intend to tell half the truth and hide the other half.
"A few days ago, I had dinner with my senior... Yes, that's Mr. Ji Cheng. He helped a lot with my grandmother's affairs. After that, we had dinner alone and chatted..."
Su Yunbai felt a little uncomfortable when she said this.
In fact, it was not her who invited Ji Cheng to dinner, but Ji Cheng who invited her to dinner.
Few people in City A know that Mrs. Huo Su Yunbai has actually known Mr. Ji Cheng for a long time.
In Ji Cheng's second year of high school, he went to City C to live with his grandfather and his academic record was transferred. Teacher Su was his Chinese teacher.
He was very biased in his studies. He was good at science, but very weak in liberal arts, especially Chinese.
Teacher Su often gave him extra lessons, so he often went to Teacher Su's house. As a result, he got to know Su Yunbai, who was three years younger than him.
Later, Su Yunbai was admitted to the same university as Ji Cheng. The two of them were alumni and communicated more.
They were very familiar with each other at that time. However, this familiarity gradually became a little stiff after Su Yunbai and Huo Qinian got married.
Ji Cheng was a good friend of Huo Qinian. Logically, even if it was just because of Huo Qinian, the two should not become estranged.
But people probably have a strange mentality, at least Su Yunbai is like this. She always felt that it didn't matter how embarrassing it was in front of strangers, but it would be doubly embarrassing if it happened in front of acquaintances. She
had this strange feeling about Ji Cheng.
After more than two years of marriage, Su Yunbai rarely participated in Huo Qinian's social circle. Gradually, rumors about the bad relationship between Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo spread in City A...
Ji Cheng often went back to City C to see Teacher Su. Every time she saw him, Su Yunbai felt pitiful for making a fool of herself in front of acquaintances, and thus developed an inexplicable escapist mentality. She would always avoid Ji Cheng if she could.
But there were always times when she couldn't avoid it.
After Teacher Su's funeral was over, Su Yunbai couldn't get out for a while, and wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys of City C, and the whole person was as panic-stricken as a dog that had lost its home.
It was at this time that she met Ji Cheng.
When a person is extremely ruthless, he doesn't care about anything. At that time, Su Yunbai felt like she had given up everything and talked a lot with Ji Cheng.
Su Yunbai can no longer remember what she talked about with Ji Cheng that day, but she did remember one sentence from Ji Cheng: "Escape cannot solve any problem." Escape cannot solve
any problem.
She has been avoiding for long enough.
Qu Qingyin returned to China half a year ago. Since then, Su Yunbai would receive some inexplicable messages: sometimes it was an address, sometimes it was a sentence, sometimes it was a photo...
No matter how strange the form of these messages was, the result was related to Huo Qinian and Qu Qingyin: Huo Qinian invited Qu Qingyin to dinner today, Huo Qinian and Qu Qingyin took a walk in the playground tomorrow, and Huo Qinian celebrated Qu Qingyin's birthday the day after tomorrow...
Su Yunbai never replied to these messages, she didn't even ask the parties involved, just pretending that nothing existed.
But she had actually secretly made some psychological preparations.
Now, Qu Qingyin came to her door. Although the scene that day was a little different from the open negotiation she imagined, they still knew each other after all.
People who study physics value rational thinking, people who do experiments value data, and people should have basic manners...
She has done all of these. She did not violate the spirit she advocated, did not believe everything she heard, and did not make a scene without caring about her face.
Now, she wants to take the initiative to verify some things. She
wants to go and see for herself whether Qu Qingyin and Huo Qinian are really the same.
