Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Spending Money Day 83
When Ye Jiashu sent a message to Liu Yue, she had just come down from the Baling River Bridge.
When Ye Jiashu learned that she was in Guizhou, he was a little confused.
"When did you go over there?"
He had just come across her latest post on WeChat Moments and clicked on it. The night before, she had been setting up a stall at the night market. Ye Jiashu had found it quite amusing and had even thought about bringing him along if she set up shop next time.
Unexpectedly, she arrived in Guizhou so quickly.
"I just arrived today."
Liu Yue made a voice call to him and excitedly told him about her bungee jumping experience.
Just this morning, she saw a short video of the bungee jumping from the Baling River Bridge. This is the highest bungee jump in the world, certified by the Guinness World Records, with five canyon rebounds. The thrill is palpable even through the screen.
But Liu Yue was very excited. She had heard Pei Jianing talk about bungee jumping before, but she had never tried it!
Since we are going to have fun, let’s have the best. Liu Yue decided to buy a plane ticket and set off immediately, go go go!
She didn't need to think about what clothes to bring or what preparations to make when she arrived at the destination. She just took a flight there on a whim.
Ye Jiashu was stunned: "Oh my God...Aren't you afraid at all?"
"To be honest, there was a little bit when I stood up."
Liu Yue said, "I'd never done bungee jumping before, so I felt a bit fearless. I was really nervous when I got on the bridge because it was so high. My heart was beating really fast when they were preparing me."
"That safety belt is quite complicated, but the more complicated it is, the more confident I am. If it were too simple, I wouldn't dare get off."
"After we got to the diving platform, they closed the door, and none of my assistants could get through. I was really nervous at the time, because Ren Zhen always took me skydiving, and with her around I wasn't afraid of anything, but bungee jumping was all by myself..."
"After I was ready, the staff asked me if I wanted to jump myself or be pushed."
Ye Jiashu: "Is this an option?"
"Of course you can choose. They say most people are pushed down because they really don't have the courage to take that step when they stand on the stage."
At this point, Liu Yue couldn't help but raise her voice: "But I'm not afraid of these! I jumped down by myself!"
"Because Sang Yu and Ren Zhen were there taking photos and videos for me, and there was a drone filming in front of me. I felt like if I got pushed down, it would look a bit cowardly. Since I was already here, I had to jump myself. That way, the photos would look cool."
With this thought in mind, even though Liu Yue's legs were shaking and the canyon below almost made her dizzy, her obsession with "jumping down cleanly" overcame everything.
Liu Yue didn’t know how effective the drone shot was, but at that moment, she felt like she looked super cool.
She fell freely from a high altitude, like a bird that had broken free from its restraints, diving into the sky and earth.
She experienced freedom for about seven seconds during the 370-meter bungee jumping. Then, under the action of the elastic rope, she bounced back up, then down, and then bounced back again... To be honest, the feeling of being pulled during the rebound process was much more exciting than the moment of jumping out.
Finally, she was pulled up by the staff using a rope and slowly returned to the diving platform.
Liu Yue's description was very specific. She had just finished bungee jumping and wanted to find someone to share her feelings at the moment.
She spoke very frankly. Ye Jiashu, who was listening on the other side, had sweat in his palms and sincerely admired Liu Yue's courage.
She dared to challenge Baling River for her first bungee jumping. Is there anything in the world that she dare not do?
Even though he couldn't see her bungee jumping through the phone, Ye Jiashu could imagine how heroic she must have looked when she leaped.
Such a shame, it would have been nice to see it live.
Ye Jiashu expressed his regret, and Liu Yue said that you can buy a plane ticket and come here now.
It just so happened that she was still a little reluctant to leave. If he really wanted to see it, she would take him to dance with her tomorrow.
“No, no…”
Ye Jiashu explained to himself: "I'm a little busy at work. I also have to do quality inspection on your robot dog."
Liu Yue grasped the key words: "Is Lucifer ready?"
"It's installed, but because the dog head is a new design with expanded functions, I need to test it a few more times to see if the changes in appearance will affect the balance of its various functions."
Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible, but this is for Liu Yue, and Ye Jiashu still hopes to achieve perfection at this stage.
The agreed delivery date in the contract was June 10th. After receiving her birthday party invitation, he wanted to give it to her on June 6th.
Liu Yue has already paid the deposit, and Ye Jiashu plans to ask the boss to return it to her, and he will buy it with his own money as a birthday present for her.
Anyway… Pei Yuan told him that there was no need to be stingy or frugal when using Pei Deng's secondary card. If he was reluctant to spend, others would find ways to spend more.
Ye Jiashu didn't tell Liu Yue about these things.
Liu Yue was looking forward to Lucifer's new progress, but she was going to eat sour soup fish hotpot, so she didn't talk to him much.
After ending the call, Ye Jiashu sighed. Liu Yue's free and easy life was really enviable.
She can go anywhere, anytime. The only thing that limits her is the speed of the plane.
By the way, if Liu Yue had the ability to teleport, she should have traveled to every corner of the world, right?
Liu Yue returned to Shenzhen from Guizhou on Friday night.
She had a great time out there and bought a lot of souvenirs. It just so happened that her moving party was tomorrow night, so she could share some local specialties and gifts with her friends.
The dance starts at 8 o'clock in the evening, so Liu Yue doesn't need to prepare dinner for them, just some desserts and snacks.
An hour of dancing and socializing was probably enough, and then at nine o'clock we moved to the game area on the first floor. There were a lot of arcade games here, and Liu Yue even bought a few new machines.
Of course, if they want to go to the second floor to swim, exercise, or take a sauna, Liu Yue is also prepared and will let the guests move freely.
Late-night snacks were served starting at 10 o'clock, including barbecued, fried, skewered, and crayfish... Liu Yue also planned to set up a werewolf game.
She didn't know what rich people did at parties, but she wanted to have the party that way since she organized it.
The plan is perfect, just waiting for tomorrow!
Guests began to arrive at 7:30 the next evening.
Most of them came in formal attire and brought a set of casual clothes with them, probably to change into after the ball.
More thoughtful guests also brought swimsuits and quick-drying clothes.
Pei Jianing: "I know you have a swimming pool at home. Based on my past experience, if a group of people gather by the pool, it's easy to splash water on each other, and pushing people into the pool is a must-do at parties."
What? It turns out you can play like this.
Liu Yue said she had learned something, and she always had dozens of water guns at home. In order to complete her daily spending tasks, she had bought all kinds of strange things online, and of course she would not miss out on toys like water guns.
Wen Huiyi panicked when she heard their conversation. She whispered to Liu Yue that she had neither prepared casual clothes nor a swimsuit.
It was said that rich people were "noble and elegant". She really thought that a dance was all about the party, and she even practiced ballroom dancing and waltz for several days before coming.
"It's okay." Liu Yue comforted her, "We are about the same height and weight. I can find you some new clothes when the time comes. I also have a new swimsuit."
She had so many unworn clothes in her closet that finding a set of casual clothes was not difficult.
Liu Yue added: "If you want to swim, you can swim. If you don't want to swim, just stay away from the swimming pool area."
Wen Huiyi breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't like swimming very much, and her swimming score in college physical education class was just barely passing.
"Then I'll just play on the first floor and not go upstairs."
After settling her down, Liu Yue raised her glass of champagne and clinked glasses with the new friends.
There were several people she had met on the yacht, and some were friends of friends... But a party should be lively with more people, and Liu Yue didn't mind them bringing more people.
But she suddenly thought of something. Pei Yuan and Pei Jianing arrived together, but where was Ye Jiashu?
Pei Yuan was closer to her, so Liu Yue went to ask her.
Pei Yuan said that traffic jams are common on Saturday nights and he might have been delayed on the road.
So that’s how it is. It seems the three Pei siblings didn’t set out together.
Liu Yue nodded. It was understandable considering the traffic conditions in Shenzhen.
The guests arrived one after another, and Jiang Qinian and You Jingchuan appeared as a pair.
The latter stepped into the house again. Although he still felt a little sad and reluctant, he was generally happy about turning defeat into victory and making a comeback.
If he hadn't made a prompt decision to sell the house, he probably wouldn't even be eligible to attend this party.
You Jingchuan and Liu Yue clinked their glasses. "Although I've already said this a few months ago, I still want to formally congratulate you on becoming the owner of this mansion."
"Congratulations on your career rebounding."
Liu Yue took a sip of her wine and said with a smile, "Where are you planning to buy property next time? I've noticed that you have a great eye for luxury homes and renovations. If you encounter something like this again, I'd be happy to continue lending a hand."
You Jingchuan: "...Miss, can't you just hope for me a little bit?"
He worked so hard on the renovations, and Liu Yue just picked peaches and moved in. Her calculations were so good that the sound could be heard from dozens of meters away.
Liu Yue: "Oh, of course I was joking... I'm alone, and I wouldn't be able to live in too many houses."
You Jingchuan was skeptical about what she said and decided not to buy the mansion for the time being, so as not to be targeted by this ancestor.
"By the way," he said, "we brought you a gift."
What gift? Liu Yue was very curious.
Jiang Qinian, who was standing next to him, opened the box in his arms and found a wreath inside.
To be more precise, it was a wreath made of Lego. Liu Yue had also bought a lot of Lego, and she was almost certain that the official product had never been released, and it must have been Jiang Qinian's original creation.
After knowing each other for so long, Jiang Qinian understands her preferences.
He put the blue and white wreath on Liu Yue's head. It was just the right size and could be used as jewelry.
"Thank you!" Liu Yue was quite happy. "Do I look very bohemian now?"
The style doesn't matter, as long as she likes it.
Liu Yue looked at You Jingchuan: "This was done by Jiang Qinian himself. What does it have to do with you? Why is it 'we'?"
You Jingchuan said with a playful smile: "We are brothers, so what's wrong with rubbing against each other?"
He is so shameless! Liu Yue really wants to kick him.
But later, You Jingchuan explained to her why he really came empty-handed. He gave her red wine, and his assistant would give it to her assistant later. They didn't need to worry about the receipt and storage of such gifts.
In fact, most of the guests present today did the same thing. Jiang Qinian also prepared custom scented candles, which were gifts for social occasions, and garlands, which were gifts between friends.
Okay, so that's what happened.
It seems that she will have to prepare return gifts in the future...but Sang Yu will take care of these small matters.
Liu Yue walked around the banquet hall wearing her new wreath. After receiving unanimous praise from everyone, she took it off reluctantly.
She decided to put this in her museum and become part of her collection.
Jiang Qinian didn't expect that she would like it so much.
He said, "I can design a few more for you. You can specify any flowers you want."
Liu Yue was quite embarrassed: "Will this be too much trouble for you?"
Moreover, the other party is not short of money, and she cannot pay directly, which makes it very difficult.
"It's okay," Jiang Qinian said. "I love playing these games myself. This isn't a burden to me; it's an interesting challenge."
He then explained to Liu Yue the design process for the wreath. He explained the parts he used, how he created the flower shape, and the adjustments he made based on the actual wearing experience.
Liu Yue listened so intently that she almost took notes. While she wasn't that obsessed with Lego, after becoming wealthy, she became a dedicated player who would build a Lego set every few days, or else her hands would itch.
There is no confrontation in the world of Lego, only exploration and creation. She feels a great sense of accomplishment every time she puts together a piece of Lego. She loves playing it very much.
The two of them were chatting so happily that when it was time for the dance to start, Sang Yu had to remind her.
Oh, and she has to open a show—
Liu Yue didn't need to look for a high place deliberately, because where she was was the visual center of the dance.
She picked up the wine glass and tapped it gently against the side with a spoon. The crisp sound was a signal for silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Wow, those novels about wealthy families are true. It feels really good to be the center of attention.
Toasts are always a difficult part, so Liu Yue didn't prepare a long speech. She just said, "I hope everyone has a good time tonight."
Then, she raised her glass, and everyone present followed her action, first raising it high to signal, then taking a sip, and the opening ceremony was completed.
There is no fixed process for the dance party, and the music is played randomly. It doesn’t matter how you dance or who you dance with. The main point is to do whatever you want.
Ke Yan and her boyfriend were the first to start dancing. When they first arrived, Liu Yue met them.
Her boyfriend's name is You Tongguang. They arrived first. Liu Yue also specifically asked You Jingchuan if this person had any relationship with him.
You Jingchuan thought about it for a long time and finally said he didn't know.
His grandfather had been married several times and had six sons. He couldn't even remember how many legitimate cousins he had, and as for whether his uncles had illegitimate children, or whether his grandfather's illegitimate sons had sons... that was even harder to say.
You Tongguang may be his real cousin, or he may not be. Anyway, he doesn't remember him, which means that this person has no say in the family and is not important.
Liu Yue was speechless after hearing this. The kinship between wealthy families was truly a mess that could never be fully resolved...
However, she still asked You Jingchuan to help her find out. It didn't matter how You Tongguang's career was; what mattered most was his character. If Ke Yan met another scumbag in disguise, it would be too tragic.
It was a small matter, so You Jingchuan agreed without hesitation.
"Actually, his character isn't important." He added leisurely, "If he's really from my family—and since that girl is your friend, I'll just say hello to Grandpa. Even if he's pretending, he'll have to pretend in front of your friend forever."
For Ke Yan, isn’t that true?
Moreover, people's character may change, and only a combination of benefits and deterrence can have a long-lasting effect.
Liu Yue thought it sounded a bit strange, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be okay.
...Forget it, let You Jingchuan find out first.
She was still thinking about this when Jiang Qinian came over and invited her to dance.
Although Liu Yue called him "Brother Strong" in her heart when they first met, she had to admit that his etiquette was indeed impeccable.
Liu Yue placed her hand on his palm and reminded him, "The last time I danced was in March. I wasn't very good at it then, and I haven't practiced for a long time. I might have stepped on your foot."
"It's okay." Jiang Qinian bowed slightly to her, "It's my honor too."
These words sounded pleasant to the ears, and Liu Yue was very satisfied.
She still remembered the moves that Ren Zhen taught her. At first, she only knew a few dance steps and was able to get by in Gstaad, but Jiang Qinian seemed to be really good at dancing.
Fortunately, he had no intention of showing off his skills at the dance. After discovering that she was a slacker, he took the initiative to lower the standard of his movements and became a slacker with her.
Liu Yue asked him, "Did you often attend dances before?"
"Not so much since I returned to China," Jiang Qinian replied while dancing. "I lived in the UK until I became an adult, and I had a special teacher to teach me."
She became interested: "So you are actually a descendant of an old aristocratic family?"
"No," he denied. "My family has been Chinese for generations, and we just lived and studied there."
European aristocrats are known for their tendency to stick together and exclude outsiders, so Jiang Qinian's social life in England was not very enjoyable. The only person he could find warmth with was You Jingchuan. However, You Jingchuan's stay was short, and he returned to China early, so he was still alone most of the time.
"At least they just didn't play with me," Jiang Qinian added. "There was a girl from America at school whose family was very wealthy, but she was still bullied by those aristocratic kids."
Liu Yue was stunned: "Is it possible that neither the school nor the parents care about this situation?"
You know, the middle school that Jiang Qinian attended is very famous all over the world. There are also many novels about wealthy families that use this experience to add luster to the protagonist and show how superior the protagonist's family background is.
Jiang Qinian: "That's the rule in this circle. Conflicts between students are resolved by the students themselves. School is a place to cultivate elites. If you can't handle your interpersonal relationships well, your parents will have to step in to mediate. The label of 'incompetence' will be attached to you for a long time."
After all, those who graduate from this school are all celebrities, politicians, and top businessmen. If they are wronged in the adult world, do they have to go back to their parents crying to settle the matter?
And usually those who are bullied are not the heirs of the family; if it is really the heir who is bullied, then the parents have to consider whether the child has the ability to be the heir.
Rather than wondering why their children are being bullied, parents care more about whether they have the ability to fight back. Just as business wars never require a reason, what matters is the outcome.
“It’s so scary…”
The more Liu Yue listened, the more she wanted to smack her tongue. Fortunately, she did not grow up in such an environment, and Clo and He Xi did not have any requirements for her.
She had absolutely no intention of inheriting the big boss's family business - Liu Yue knew clearly that she didn't have the ability to do so, and her pursuit in life was to eat, drink, have fun, lie down and enjoy herself.
The idea of being an heir is really too much. She is just a salted fish.
She asked again: "Are you the heir of the family?"
"I'm not," Jiang Qinian said. "Besides building Lego, there's nothing else going on in my life."
Liu Yue nodded in agreement: "I'm pretty much the same. Although I have more hobbies than you, I don't care about those things."
Really? Jiang Qinian was a little surprised.
As far as he knew, she seemed to be He Xi's only daughter.
But compared to this, Jiang Qinian was more curious. Since Liu Yue was He Xi's daughter and her birthday party was held in Hong Kong, why was her assistant Ren Zhen said to be Clo's representative?
These two people are sworn enemies. Could it be that they have secretly had a business collaboration?
He even had a guess: it couldn't be because Liu Yue's father was Clo?
Haha, this is outrageous, how is this possible.
Before Jiang Qinian could ask, the song had already ended.
He wanted to invite Liu Yue to continue dancing, but Liu Yue saw Ye Jiashu out of the corner of her eye. He was standing in front of the dessert table with a depressed look, looking at her with a helpless look.
Why does he look so pitiful...
Therefore, Liu Yue declined Jiang Qinian's invitation to dance again and decided to talk to Ye Jiashu first.
On the way, she also met Jian Yihe. She hadn't danced much just now and she wanted to sing.
"I brought my own microphone," she said. "Can I sing along with the music? Just ignore me and keep dancing."
Well, she really loves to sing.
Liu Yue asked her to go find Sang Yu. They didn't play a CD at the event, but instead invited an orchestra to perform. If Jian Yihe wanted to sing, she would have to negotiate with them to see how to cooperate.
It doesn’t matter what they sing. Most of the people who come to the dance are just idlers, so everyone dances randomly.
"Thank you, you're so nice!"
Jian Yihe held her in his arms and jumped and danced, then went to find Sang Yu happily.
She didn't even need the microphone she brought with her, the sound quality was a bit poor. Sang Yu had made all the necessary preparations, and Liu Yue had a better one at home.
Jian Yihe was so happy that she could even sing for everyone here all night. If only one person in the audience recognized her because of her singing, then she would have made a profit.
On the other side, Liu Yue found Ye Jiashu.
He looked very emo, and seemed to want to drown his sorrows in wine. However, to prevent guests from getting drunk and making jokes, the wine served was very low in alcohol content, and the waiters would make various excuses to delay serving wine based on the guests' alcohol tolerance.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Yue asked him. "If you dare to vomit on my carpet later, I will definitely record a video and broadcast it on the screen at every important occasion in your life."
Liu Yue just said it casually, but Ye Jiashu's eyes slowly turned red.
"Hey hey hey!" She quickly explained, "I was just kidding. If you really feel unwell, I'll have someone take you to the guest room to rest."
“…I’m fine.”
When he saw Liu Yue, he was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw and couldn't wait to confide in her.
His biological mother came to the company to see him today.
When Liu Yue heard this opening, she raised her hand to call the waiter.
Please bring two packs of tissues first, she is afraid that they won’t be enough later.
