After putting on the tailor-made dress, Hua Jin began to have her hair, skin and even her nails done by the staff.
Leaning back on the recliner, Hua Jin turned her head to look at Pei Yan who was sitting on the sofa. She felt like she was living a year in a day and it was not easy to become beautiful.
"Bored?" Noticing Hua Jin's bored expression, Pei Yan walked over to her and asked, "How about playing a game for a while?"
"Not bad." Hua Jin resisted the urge to yawn, "What time is it now?"
"It's still early. There's still time." Pei Yan glanced at his watch. "How about I tell you a joke?"
Hua Jin noticed that the female employee doing her manicure was giggling, so she pulled his sleeve and asked him to bend down.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yan bent down and approached her.
"Just tell me the jokes you tell," Hua Jin whispered in his ear, "I won't tell anyone else."
"Okay." Pei Yan felt that the ear closest to Hua Jin was getting hot. "It's only for you to hear."
Since his girlfriend said so, what can he do? He can only spoil her.
After finishing all the styling, Hua Jin was finally able to stand up. She looked at herself in the mirror and found that she looked better than usual. She turned her head to look at Pei Yan.
Before she could ask, Pei Yan said, "Very beautiful."
Hua Jin has fair skin and beautiful shoulders, so this off-shoulder red dress suits her very well. In order to match the dress, he specially chose a red tie.
Although he had never been in a relationship with anyone, he was able to master these small details without any guidance.
The Yang family's old lady's birthday was a big event, and all the younger generations and those who were related to the Yang family came. Yang Shao, who was usually carefree, dressed up extra formally today. He was so busy entertaining the guests that those who wanted to ask him for some information could not find a suitable opportunity.
"Brother Sen, why are you here alone?" Xu Changhui walked up to Chen Sen and said with a smile, "I thought you were helping Yang Shao entertain guests like Chen Jiang."
Chen Sen glanced at him, shook the champagne in the glass, and said nothing.
Seeing that he ignored him, Xu Changhui was not angry. Instead, he sat down next to him and said, "Last time I took Chen Jiang out to play, he got into a car accident. I was wrong. Please don't take it to heart, Brother Sen."
Chen Sen sneered: "Xu Changhui, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. I have a bad temper and a short patience. I cannot bear to hear these roundabout words."
"Look at what you're saying. I just saw you sitting here alone, so I wanted to come over and talk to you..."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be here today." Chen Sen interrupted Xu Changhui directly, "You haven't gotten over offending Pei Yan yet, aren't you afraid that he will see you today and humiliate you?"
A few days ago, the Xu family had been asking people to help them speak well of Pei Yan. A few days ago, they even went to his grandfather for help. But Pei Yan is not a good person. If he says he is unhappy, then he is unhappy. Who has that much face?
Xu Changhui could hardly keep the smile on his face. Chen Sen said these words in front of him, clearly trampling on his face: "I thought Brother Sen was different from others and would not take Pei Yan's strange temper seriously. I didn't expect..." He laughed, "I didn't expect it to be just like this."
"I was born to bully the weak and fear the strong. You don't need to use provocation to provoke me." Chen Sen snorted and laughed, "Do you think that the word "idiot" is engraved on my face?"
Xu Changhui's face turned pale and he said nothing.
"The old fox Xu Yi is good at sowing discord, but you, with your small brain, should not come out and make a fool of yourself." Chen Sen sneered, "Although I, Chen Sen, am not in Pei Yan's eyes, I am not to the point of being an eyesore to him. You'd better pray for the best."
Seeing Chen Sen leave triumphantly, Xu Changhui drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp. He wanted to smash the glass in his hand to vent his anger, but then he remembered that this was the birthday party of the old lady of the Yang family. If he broke the glass, he might offend the Yang family as well. Realizing this, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
Ever since the last incident at the Meng family, those brothers and buddies who used to hang out with him rarely go out. One said he had to help take care of the business, and another said he was sick and needed to rest. He was not a fool, so of course he knew what these people meant.
His father said that the Xu family acted cautiously, unlike Pei Yan who would feed the whole family by himself and would do nothing when he went crazy. People like Pei Yan, as long as they were a little more normal, would not be provoked.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder why Pei Yan could live without caring about anything. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he had money and no parents to control him, so no one could stop him even if he went crazy.
"Why are you still sitting here?" Xu Si saw Xu Changhui sitting in the corner with a gloomy face, so he sat beside him and said gently, "Changhui, don't be angry with your second uncle, he is doing this for your own good. When Pei Yan comes, you can apologize to him. There are so many elders here today, and it's the birthday of the old lady of the Yang family. Even if he doesn't give face to our Xu family, he should give face to the Yang family and won't make the scene too ugly."
"Sister Si, let me apologize to him in front of so many people. How can I have the face to go out and play with others in the future?" Xu Changhui's expression looked better when he saw that it was Xu Si who came.
"I know you feel wronged, but you sacrificed for your second uncle and our Xu family. We all see how hard it is for you." Xu Si patted his shoulder. "If Pei Yan still brings that female companion, you should apologize to her. Women are soft-hearted. As long as you lower your attitude a little and show the attentiveness you usually use to coax women, you will definitely get her forgiveness."
Thinking of the woman named Hua Jin, Xu Changhui frowned. If it wasn't for Hua Jin, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Thinking of this, Xu Changhui shook his head: "Sister Si, not all women are as gentle and generous as you. That Hua Jin is not a good person."
Curling the corners of her mouth, Xu Si whispered, "I asked someone to check the background of the flower embroidery master. She came from a remote and poor mountain village. She worked as a waitress and a delivery girl, and even put a phone screen protector under an overpass. In recent years, she has been learning embroidery from a little-known Shu embroidery master. She has learned to be elegant and sophisticated. I'm afraid even Pei Yan doesn't know that this woman used to be a waitress in a restaurant."
"Pei Yan is usually arrogant and looks down on everyone, but he is fooled by a waitress." Xu Changhui was very pleased. "Wait until everyone knows that his woman is a waitress, and see how he can put his face."
"Changhui, don't say that." Xu Si sighed, "It's not easy for her to come here from a remote village. Although she is not well educated, she has relied on herself all the way. If you make these things bigger, it will make Pei Yan lose face, but her future will also be affected. Forget it."
"Sister Si, why are you so stupid?" Xu Changhui said, "How can this woman be a simple woman if she can coax Pei Yan into her arms? You think she is a simple, innocent, self-reliant and independent little white flower. Don't worry about these things, I know what's going on."
Xu Sixu frowned in worry: "These are all trivial matters. Our most urgent task is to make Mr. Pei no longer hate our Xu family."
"If that woman hadn't provoked me, why would I have gotten so angry?" Xu Changhui cursed, "That woman is obviously a stinky bitch."
Xu Si frowned even more. Hua Jin deliberately provoked Chang Hui. Why did she do this? Could it be...
She glanced at Xu Changhui. Was it because she deliberately approached Pei Yan that day that Hua Jin was unhappy? When she approached Pei Yan, Hua Jin didn't see anything wrong. She didn't expect that he would use such a sinister method.
I didn't expect Pei Yan to fall into the hands of such a woman.
The appearance of Hua Jin and Pei Yan was almost the focus of everyone's attention. Ever since Pei Yan posted that circle of friends, the news that he was in love had spread to all men, women, young and old. Many people were speculating who his girlfriend was, and whether it was the Shu embroidery master at the Meng family party, but Pei Yan had never posted her photo, and people close to him didn't reveal anything, so no one dared to be sure.
When they saw clearly the woman holding Pei Yan's arm, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This is a woman who walks with Pei Yan but is not overshadowed by him. Looking at the way Mr. Pei carefully supported her waist when they were going down the stairs, you can tell that they have a very good relationship.
At just one glance, everyone knew that this was definitely his girlfriend.
Pei Yan took Hua Jin to see the old lady of the Yang family who was sitting in the main seat. Hua Jin whispered to him, "Every time I walk with you, I feel that the eyes around me are particularly dazzling."
"You'll get used to it slowly." Pei Yan said to her, "Yang Shao's grandmother is from the same clan as my ancestors. She is my distant great aunt. Although we are several generations apart, we have kept in touch all these years. Just follow me and call her great aunt."
Hua Jin nodded.
Yang Xueshen saw Pei Yan and Hua Jin coming over, and smiled and asked them to sit down. His attitude towards Hua Jin was close but not flattering, which made Hua Jin feel much more comfortable.
"Is Xiaoyan here?" When the old lady of the Yang family heard Pei Yan's voice, she hurriedly put on her reading glasses on the table and asked loudly, "Did Xiaoyan bring her girlfriend?"
"Mom." Meng Ying stood up and greeted Pei Yan and Hua Jin who had already entered the room, "Mr. Pei, Master Hua, please take a seat." She explained to Hua Jin, "My mom was very happy when she heard that Mr. Pei had a girlfriend. She kept talking about wanting to meet you. Don't mind."
"No." Hua Jin smiled back. She glanced at the woman who was speaking. She was wearing a decent dress and was well-maintained. It was difficult to judge her real age by her appearance. She should be the daughter or daughter-in-law of the old lady of the Yang family.
"This is Yang Shao's mother, Aunt Meng." Pei Yan held Hua Jin's hand and said to Meng Ying, "Aunt Meng, this is my girlfriend Hua Jin. She embroidered the panda handkerchief that my aunt loved so much."
"So you are the amazing embroiderer. Please take a seat." Meng Ying shook Hua Jin's hand warmly. "The panda handkerchief you embroidered is so vivid and lifelike. Everyone in my family likes it very much."
"You're too kind." Hua Jin noticed the Yang family's obvious intention to get close to her, and her smile became more sincere. She followed Pei Yan and sat down in front of the old lady of the Yang family.
"Are you Xiaoyan's girlfriend?" The old lady of the Yang family was already very old, but she looked very kind, and her smile made people feel close to her. "She is really good-looking. Xiaoyan is a capable kid. He was able to coax such a good girl back as his girlfriend."
"Aunt, this is my girlfriend that I begged for with all my heart, not by tricking her into marrying me." Pei Yan held the birthday gift he had prepared in front of Old Lady Yang with both hands, "I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."
Hua Jin also took out the hand-embroidered shawl she had prepared and said, "Aunt, I wish you a long life and a long life."
"Thank you, thank you." Holding the gifts from the two juniors, the old lady's face was as bright as a flower. She grabbed the snacks on the table and kept putting them into Hua Jin's hands. "I watched Xiaoyan grow up. This is the first time I've seen him be so gentle to a girl. Don't be shy when you come here. Just treat it as your own home."
Hua Jin turned her head to look at Pei Yan, and Pei Yan turned his head away with red ears.
"Pei Yan is very good to me. It is my blessing to meet him." Hua Jin put the snacks in Pei Yan's suit pocket and smiled sweetly at the old lady of the Yang family. "I wonder if you like the panda embroidered screen I embroidered some time ago?"
"I like it, I like it very much." When talking about the panda embroidered screen, the old lady of the Yang family smiled even more, "I have put it in the room, and I can see it when I wake up in the morning."
"I'm glad you like it." Hua Jin squinted her eyes and smiled, looking shy and gentle.
The more the old lady of the Yang family looked at her, the more she liked her. She turned to look at Pei Yan and said, "Take the flower embroidery master for a walk. What's the point of always accompanying an old woman like me?"
"Why is it boring to accompany you?" Pei Yan said with a smile, "Hua Jin and I don't have close elders around us, so it's interesting to talk to you."
"Although I'm old, I still know that those who ruin young people's love are called light bulbs. Go and have fun by yourselves, don't disturb me here." The old lady of the Yang family drove Hua Jin and Pei Yan out, turned to her daughter-in-law Meng Ying and said, "Seeing that Xiao Yan has a girlfriend, I feel relieved."
Meng Ying laughed: "This is fate. You like this little girl's embroidery, and Xiaoyan likes this little girl as a person."
"Get the red envelopes ready. Xiaoyan has no elders. This is the first time the girl comes to visit as his girlfriend. According to the rules, we have to give her a red envelope." The old lady of the Yang family said, "Don't let the girl think that we are not satisfied with her."
"Okay, don't worry, I'm ready." Meng Ying turned her head and glanced at her husband Yang Xueshen. The couple walked out of the room, and Meng Ying said, "It seems that Mom likes this flower embroidery master very much."
Yang Xueshen smiled bitterly when he heard this. Even Pei Yan had a girlfriend. He didn't know when his disappointing son would grow up after playing around.
The Yang family's courtyard is bigger than the Meng family's. Hua Jin doesn't recognize any of the guests coming and going. Fortunately, she has a boyfriend with a golden thigh. No matter who comes to talk to her, she only needs to be a perfect golden thigh pendant.
Unfortunately, her good mood disappeared the moment she saw Xu Changhui appear.
"Mr. Pei, Miss Hua, I drank too much last time. Please forgive me if I offended you." Xu Changhui stopped in front of Hua Jin. "These days, I have been regretting what I have done. I don't know how to get your forgiveness. I'm sorry."
Many people had heard about the last farce, and when they saw Xu Changhui apologize on his own initiative, they couldn't help but turn their attention to the three people.
Hua Jin leaned against Pei Yan without saying a word. She looked as if she was frightened by Xu Changhui, and she looked a little pitiful. Everyone couldn't help but wonder how absurd Xu Changhui's words and deeds were to scare a good girl like this.
"I've said before, I don't want you to appear in front of me in the future." Pei Yan glanced at Xu Yi who was standing not far away and sneered, "The cheapest word in the world is sorry."
"I..." Xu Changhui turned his gaze to Hua Jin, "Miss Hua..."
"Honey, I'm scared." Hua Jin hugged Pei Yan's arm like a frightened rabbit.
A dozen steps away, Xu Si looked at Hua Jin's pretentious appearance with a cold look in her eyes. She turned on her trembling phone and checked the latest message.
[Six years ago, late at night, Mr. Xu drove drunk and ran a red light, causing serious injuries to a pedestrian. The victim was named Hua Jin.]
The author has something to say: Pei Yan: I’m not happy, and saying sorry is of no use.
