Chapter 338
Su Qingci listened to Zhou Mingyue's kind introduction, and her face showed curiosity and surprise appropriately.
"Let's go!" Kong Liu led everyone forward.
You know what, Su Qingci really felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
After walking in for a while, you will see European-style buildings scattered in a garden with green grass and towering ancient trees.
The garden has pavilions, platforms, rockery, grape trellises, bridges, wisteria trellises, fountains, and small lakes.
Small bridges, flowing water, birdsong, fragrant flowers, towering ancient trees, beautiful fountains, and fruit-laden corridors, this kind of beautiful garden is the limit for this era.
The group entered the garden, where some elegant tables were placed, filled with beautiful snacks and various drinks. Neatly dressed waiters carefully carried trays and moved among the crowd.
Kong Liu turned around and said, "Don't run around, Yuzhen. Take Yuyan for a walk first. You can find a place to sit for a while. I'll go over and say hello to the people I know."
"Okay, brother!"
After Kong Liu finished speaking, he took Zhou Mingyue and walked towards the crowd in front.
"Hey~ Brother Meng Bai, it's Brother Meng Bai!"
Su Qingci listened to Kong Yuzhen's whispers and looked forward following her gaze.
He is a man with deep features and a feminine appearance, fair skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a slender figure, at least 185 cm tall.
Although he is not the type that Su Qingci likes, she has to admit in all conscience that he is really good-looking. In the future, he would definitely be a male model.
Due to environmental constraints in this era, living conditions were not very good. Most families only sought to have enough food and clothing, and there was no mention of nutrition at all. Therefore, the average height of people was generally short at that time.
Meng Bai stands out from the crowd in this environment in terms of both height and appearance. No wonder Kong Yuzhen, such a bad guy, is so obsessed with him.
Su Qingci's eyes narrowed, but the other person's appearance seemed a bit exotic no matter how you looked at it. Those peach blossom eyes and thick eyelashes made him look a bit like a mixed-race.
Kong Liu walked towards the other person enthusiastically. The two laughed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and gave each other a warm hug.
"Brother Kong, is everything going well?"
"Hahaha, thanks to Brother Meng!"
Kong Yuzhen grabbed Su Qingci and said, "Come on, Yuyan, let's go over there too~"
Since she came in, her eyes have never left her brother Meng Bai. Her cheeks are flushed now. She grabs Su Qingci and is about to step forward.
Unfortunately it's too late.
As soon as Su Qingci came in, she noticed that a few women who were chatting together not far away were looking at her curiously and were walking towards her.
Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Before the person arrived, the other party's sarcastic tone arrived first.
"Oh my, we didn't see it wrong, it really is her~"
"Xingyue, Huaer, come and see, it's really Kong Yuzhen."
The three people who came were Lan Qi and Lan Hua, two daughters of the Lan family, and Zhou Xingyue, the daughter of the head of the Zhou family.
The three of them knew they didn't get along with Kong Yuzhen at first sight, so they surrounded her and looked her up and down as if they were teasing a puppy.
"Yuzhen, why don't you dress like you usually do today? Your colorful red and green outfits suit you so well."
"Yeah, can't you afford a powder puff? Look, you don't have any makeup on your face. You don't look formal at all, Yuzhen."
"That's right. How could you come here in such a plain and simple manner for such an important occasion? You have no respect for others~"
"Where are your flaming red lips? Where are your electric eyes?"
Zhou Xingyue even stepped forward and tugged at Kong Yuzhen's skirt. "Yuzhen, you don't look good like this. It doesn't show your beauty. Well, we brought makeup tools. How about we touch up your makeup?"
No matter how dumb Kong Yuzhen was, she could see their intentions. Her previous eye-catching appearance with a green face and fangs was not only due to Zhou Mingyue's hint, but also due to the selfless praise from these three good sisters.
Every time they praised me as if I were a fairy coming down to earth, but now when I think about it, they were just treating me like a clown, and I actually believed their lies.
Kong Yuzhen had a bad temper to begin with, but it was not appropriate to make a scene in such an occasion. She was holding her anger and didn't want to pay any attention to the other party, so she pulled Su Qingci and was about to leave.
Lan Qi saw this and stopped them. "Hey, what's going on? I wonder how we've offended Sister Yuzhen again? She's giving us the cold shoulder the moment we meet."
Lan Hua followed and said, "Second sister, didn't you see? He has made new friends, how can he still look down on us~"
As expected, Zhou Xingyue and Lan Qi's gaze shifted to Su Qingci. After taking a look at each other's appearance, they instantly felt hostility.
"Hey, whose sister is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Although they don't like someone, they won't offend them easily without knowing their background.
Su Qingci smiled politely and said shyly, "I'm not from Shanghai. I just came from southern Hunan to seek refuge with my cousin, Kong Liu."
Lan Qi and the other two lost interest instantly. "I thought she was a young lady from some family, but it turns out she's just a country bumpkin who just came here to escape the disaster."
Zhou Xingyue looked at Su Qingci with disdain, her eyes full of jealousy as she looked at her delicate and bright facial features.
She wore light makeup and looked clean. Compared with the girls who wore heavy makeup, she seemed elegant and refined.
Zhou Xingyue couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Clothes really make the man. Looking at the way you're dressed, you really can't tell you're a poor kid from the countryside."
Kong Yuzhen no longer wanted to bother with them. Not far away, that bitch Zhou Mingyue had already started toasting her brother Meng Bai.
She casually pushed Su Qingci out and said, "Don't you just want to know why I'm not dressed like before?"
"Ask my cousin, she taught me."
After saying that, without waiting for everyone to react, she hurriedly trotted towards her brother Meng Bai.
Su Qingci gritted her teeth. Kong Yuzhen was such a scoundrel! These three idiots were clearly after her, and now they were pushing her out to take the blame, and she ran away? She even helped her change her image. She should have let her show up with that zombie makeup she dug out of an ancient tomb!
Lan Hua reached out and hooked the necklace around Su Qingci's neck, then tugged at her earrings. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this Sixth Master Kong is really generous. It's not that easy to get into the upper class. Don't think you can turn a sparrow into a phoenix just by putting on some clothes and a necklace and earrings. You can't go to a place like this!"
"But now that I've gotten in, I might as well just broaden my horizons and see the world. After all, there may not be another chance in the future~"
Su Qingci slapped Lan Hua's hand away, covered her ear which had been pulled red by her, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
"Everyone knows I'm from the countryside, and you still dare to come here and seek death~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingci lifted her skirt with both hands, jumped high, raised her leg, and kicked the other person hard in the heart.
“Ah~”
