Chang Jing's friends were all surprised that Chang Jing, who was usually mild-mannered and never talked back when scolded, suddenly became furious and lashed out at the Chang family.
Chang Jing took a deep breath and said to everyone at the banquet, "I'm so sorry everyone, my own graduation banquet has turned out like this. I'm truly sorry. But I will never tolerate anyone publicly humiliating my mother, so Grandpa Chang, Grandma Chang, and Chang Guomin, I advise you to leave immediately to avoid affecting the mood of others!"
The Chang family members turned pale; they were unwilling to leave just like that.
However, everyone at the banquet was on Chang Jing and Song Huizhen's side. If they continued to make trouble, they would only become more embarrassed.
Enraged, Old Master Chang cursed Chang Jing as "stupid" before storming off.
Old Mrs. Chang pulled Chang Guomin along and left, cursing all the while.
The atmosphere at the banquet became lively again, and friends came forward to comfort Chang Jing and Song Huizhen, praising Chang Jing's courage and boldness.
Song Huizhen was deeply grateful to see her son stand up for her.
Liu Yihai stepped forward and gently embraced Song Huizhen, letting her lean against him.
Chang Jing lowered his head and said to Song Huizhen, "Mom, were you surprised just now? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
Song Huizhen shook her head, looking at Chang Jing with loving eyes: "Son, I'm so proud of you. I'm used to what the Chang family says, you don't need to pay them any attention. As long as you're here, I'm content."
Chang Jing looked at Song Huizhen, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
He knew that as long as he had a mother like Song Huizhen and an uncle like Liu Yihai, even if there were only three people in the family, they would be happy and perfect.
What good are family members if you lack basic humanity? What difference is there between you and a stranger?
Chang Jing smiled slightly, took Song Huizhen and Liu Yihai's hands, and announced to everyone: "I apologize for the argument just now. I hereby declare the banquet continuing! Let's continue dancing to the music, continue drinking, and continue celebrating my university life!"
The atmosphere at the banquet became lively again, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Chang Jing and got into a high!
The banquet after the Chang family left surprisingly seemed even more harmonious and congenial.
It turns out, the atmosphere is better when some people leave!
Life is much better without those annoying people around.
Chang Jing was particularly moved at this moment. He looked at Song Huizhen and Liu Yihai with deep emotion.
...
Bai Mei paced anxiously back and forth at home, picking up her phone one moment and putting it down the next.
There was something she wanted to tell Chang Jing, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
I haven't seen him for quite a while since the internet cafe incident.
Although I shamelessly picked him up at the school gate that time, planning to go on a date over the weekend, before we could make any plans, we encountered some thugs causing trouble. After Chang Jing dealt with the situation, he never gave me a definite answer.
After that, he entered the senior year of high school and began preparing for college entrance exams, so I dared not bother him anymore.
I only found out when I checked Chang Jing's report card a while ago that he actually ranked in the top ten in the province.
This made Bai Mei even more overjoyed!
"Hehe... No wonder he's the man I, Bai Mei, have my eye on! A beautiful woman and a talented man! We really are a match made in heaven!"
Bai Mei stared at the computer screen with a silly grin, seemingly already imagining a wonderful future. A silly, smirking smile appeared on her face, almost drooling from the corner of her mouth.
Bai Mei had secretly fallen for Chang Jing from their very first meeting.
Chang Jing's handsome face and gentle voice deeply attracted her.
Although Chang Jing was always very polite and courteous to her, Bai Mei felt that there seemed to be special feelings for her in Chang Jing's eyes (??).
Bai Mei had always been unsure of Chang Jing's feelings for her, so this was a good opportunity to share the news she wanted to share.
She could use this opportunity to invite Chang Jing out and see if he would be happy about the news, and whether he would be more proactive in expressing his feelings for her. These could all serve as evidence to determine whether Chang Jing also liked her.
Bai Mei took a deep breath, resolutely picked up her phone, and dialed Chang Jing's number...
Chang Jing was busy preparing for his university admission when his phone rang. He picked it up and took a look.
It was Bai Mei's computer. I suddenly realized that I hadn't been in contact with her for a long time. I wondered what she had to do this time.
Chang Jing answered the phone and said into the receiver, "Hello, is this Bai Mei? Long time no see. How can I help you?"
Hearing the familiar yet somewhat long-lost voice, Bai Mei suddenly felt a little nervous.
She cleared her throat, trying to sound natural, and said, "Chang Jing, hello! It's been almost half a year since we last saw each other. I hope I haven't bothered you. I have some good news to tell you. I wonder if you're available to come out now?"
The sound of turning pages came from the other end of the phone, as if Chang Jing was busy with something.
Bai Mei's heart was in her throat, fearing that Chang Jing would refuse her invitation because he was busy.
After a while, Chang Jing's puzzled voice rang out again: "Good news? Can't we say it over the phone?"
"Yes, that's right. I have to tell you this good news in person." Bai Mei's cheeks flushed slightly, looking a little shy.
Chang Jing frowned, somewhat puzzled. What news had to be said in person?
Thinking about how busy he was lately, he didn't really want to pay attention to this infatuated girl.
Just as Chang Jing was about to decline, he suddenly realized that he had already begun to venture into the business world ahead of time, and he would inevitably need to rely on Bai Mei's family connections, especially her father's.
Regardless of whether Bai Mei's feelings for him are genuine or not, as long as they maintain a good relationship, it will be much easier to ask her for help in the future, right?
So he said to Bai Mei on the other end of the phone, "I'm busy preparing for university admission, but I can postpone it for a while. Would you like to meet in person to talk? Sure, we can find a place to meet."
Bai Mei suddenly realized that Chang Jing's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
Does this mean he also wants to see her?
Bai Mei was overjoyed and quickly said, "That's wonderful! Chang Jing, you're so thoughtful! How about we meet at the newly opened Yindumen restaurant in Lychee Plaza at 10 a.m. tomorrow?"
Chang Jing thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have anything important to do the next morning, so he agreed.
"Okay, tomorrow morning? Sure, that should be fine. See you tomorrow at the time and place you requested."
Bai Mei happily hung up the phone. She felt that she had killed two birds with one stone: not only could she see Chang Jing, but she could also judge how Chang Jing felt about her. This excited her so much that she couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive!
Bai Mei's joy, however, raises the question: will it bring her the outcome she desires?
Just as Chang Jing seemed to gently agree to meet her, Bai Mei knew nothing about his inner world.
What kind of outcome this invitation will bring to Bai Mei remains to be seen after we meet tomorrow.
