Su Man didn't have any filming assignments today, so she stayed home to relax. It was the weekend, so Qu Zixiong and Qu Ziqian were also at home resting.
Qu Ziqian was tricked by Su Man last time, so she felt a little resistant to her and didn't dare to provoke her. Even when they met occasionally, she would lower her head and walk past hurriedly, as if she was avoiding some plague god.
Qu Zixiong wanted to take advantage of this dinner to wash away his previous shame, so he locked himself in the room to practice the piano.
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
Qu Zixiong and Zhang Lili were both prepared. Zhang Lili wore a high-end couture dress of the season, while Qu Zixiong wore a small suit with a burgundy bow tie around his neck. His hair was styled, and he looked very energetic.
There was a reason why he dressed so grandly, not only to attend the banquet, but more importantly to perform. At every banquet, he would play piano music for everyone. Although his hands had not recovered yet and he could not play complex music, he was still able to play single melodies.
When he played, those uncles and aunts would use him as an example to educate their children. For example, look at him, at such a young age, he excels in all arts and plays the piano so well.
Zhang Lili's face was beaming, and Qu Zixiong also enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He always dressed up nicely and waited for the guests' praise.
Before leaving, Zhang Lili felt the necklace on her neck was not good and went upstairs to change it. Qu Zixiong adjusted his bow tie in the mirror and turned around to see Su Man sitting in the living room.
She was still wearing the clothes that Old Lady Fu had bought for her, a festive little red dress, and her hair was tied into two small buns by Aunt Zhou and tied with two red ropes.
Seeing her unpresentable outfit, Qu Zixiong sneered and started to find fault while Qu Zhengzhi was away.
"Dad said he would take you with him, and you really followed him. Haha, you're really a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off."
Su Man, who was originally resting with her eyes closed, raised her eyes, glanced at Qu Zixiong, and closed them again.
Su Man didn't want to pay attention to him, but Qu Zixiong became more and more excited. "Those people at the banquet are all prestigious people. If a wild child like you goes there, no one will pay attention to you, and you will also get ridiculed by others. If I were you, I would hide at home to avoid going out and embarrassing myself."
"Aren't you the one who's embarrassed?"
Su Man's eyes were indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm.
This sentence somehow irritated Qu Zixiong, and he instantly flew into a rage, "You're talking nonsense! I'm not ashamed!"
The angrier he got, the calmer Su Man became. She tilted her head and said, "But everyone on the Internet is scolding you."
Qu Zixiong was so angry at those words that he almost exploded. His voice changed tone. "Do you think that having a few crazy fans can change the fact that you are a wild child?! Let me tell you, if you hadn't been adopted by our family, you would still be in that filthy orphanage! I am a proper child of the Qu family. I ace every subject. Even the most famous pianist wants to take me on tour! Who the hell do you think you are!"
He said so much in a row, but Su Man only saw three words on his face, and he became anxious.
She propped up her chin and continued to poke at his heart, "But she didn't take you on tour."
Speaking of this, Qu Zixiong's face turned green with anger. This was an eternal pain in his heart. He stopped talking and stared at Su Man with a vicious look that did not belong to his age.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a sound came from the entrance. It was Qu Zhengzhi who came back.
-
The moment Qu Zhengzhi walked in, Qu Zixiong came up to him and said, "Dad, I'm ready. We can go now."
Facing Qu Zixiong's exquisite attire, Qu Zhengzhi frowned and said, "Why are you dressed like this instead of doing your homework properly?"
Qu Zixiong was stunned, not understanding what Qu Zhengzhi meant for a moment, "Isn't there a dinner party? Is it cancelled?"
"Oh, I'll take Xiaoman to the dinner, you go change your clothes."
“…”
From Su Man's perspective, she could clearly see Qu Zixiong's relatively fair face turning red little by little.
Especially when he faced her, emotions such as embarrassment, anger, and annoyance kept changing on his face.
Qu Zhengzhi didn't notice his abnormality. He glanced at his watch and said to Su Man, "Let's go, Xiaoman, let's get in the car first."
Su Man glanced at Qu Zixiong, who was filled with shame and anger, and slowly followed Qu Zhengzhi's footsteps.
When Zhang Lili hurried downstairs after receiving a call from the driver, she saw Qu Zixiong still standing at the door with a puzzled look on his face. "What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"
Qu Zixiong turned around, his eyes red, "Dad said that he would only take that wild kid with him, not me."
"What? How can you bring outsiders with you and not your own son? Don't cry, son. Come with mommy. I'll take you to your father to seek justice!"
Furious, Zhang Lili rushed outside, her high heels clacking loudly. She opened the car door and shouted at Qu Zhengzhi inside, "Qu Zhengzhi! It's fine that you're arguing with me, but now you don't even care about your own son. What do you want?"
Seeing that she was bringing up the past again, Qu Zhengzhi lost all patience and said, "The dinner is about to start. Are you going to get in the car?"
"I won't go up if you don't explain yourself clearly!" Zhang Lili threatened.
However, Qu Zhengzhi, who had already lost patience with her, simply closed the car door and said to the driver, "Drive."
"Why!"
Watching the car drive away, Zhang Lili was stunned, "Qu Zhengzhi! Come back here!"
"Qu Zhengzhi!"
Looking at Zhang Lili getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, Su Man curled the corners of her lips.
Zhang Lili's personality is not good. Although her face is pretty, the two have been married for so many years that they have reached the point of aesthetic fatigue.
