Xie Lanzhi watched the car go away, then turned back to look at the children setting off small firecrackers, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
When he returned to the balcony, he found that Qin Shu had already mingled with everyone.
"Hello, brothers, three horses, five champions, six sixes——"
Qin Shu pointed at a baby-faced man and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back: "You lose!"
The baby-faced man spoke with a southern accent and looked at Qin Shu with a resentful expression.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you didn't know how to play?"
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and poured him a glass of wine herself: "Yes, but I'm smart, I'll learn it after playing it once!"
The baby-faced man held a full wine glass and said with a sad face: "Brother Lan is so smart, but he didn't win so hard—"
"Drink it! You're the only one who talks too much!"
Chu Lianying walked forward, held the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
“Mmmmm—”
The baby-faced boy was splashed with wine and pushed Chu Lianying.
"Mr. Chu! I'm going to fight you!"
After drinking the wine, the baby-faced man turned around and started fighting with Chu Lianying.
"Watch this!"
"Take my leg!"
"Look at me, the monkey, stealing peaches!"
“Ahhh! You’re playing dirty tricks—”
Qin Shu watched the two of them laughing and playing, and was so happy that she wanted to high-five them.
Xie Lanzhi walked up to her and gently put his arm around her waist, and asked softly, "Are you so happy?"
Qin Shu turned around, her beautiful eyes smiling like a clear spring: "Happy! They are having a great time!"
This group of children from aristocratic families, whether they are married or not, are like free-spirited teenagers. The cheerful atmosphere makes people feel relaxed.
Xie Lanzhi looked at Chu Lianying, who was very powerful, and was controlled by the baby face. He smiled and said, "They all grew up wearing open-crotch pants. They are all childish, like they haven't reached adulthood yet."
When Liu Sheng heard this, he teased, "Brother Lan! I don't agree with that. You guys are all married and have children, but I'm still single. I'm definitely not as childish as you!"
Xie Lanzhi looked at him and said slowly, "No one wants you, but you're still so proud?"
Liu Sheng said proudly: "I have a fighter jet as my wife!"
Thinking of something, he walked to Xie Lanzhi's side and rubbed his palms: "Brother Lan, I heard that the White Eagle fighter plane that Academician Page is researching has begun to be manufactured. When can I fly the fighter plane you tested?"
"You already have a wife, but you're still thinking about the White Eagle fighter?"
"Hey! My biggest hobby in life is collecting wives. A hundred or eighty is never too many!"
Xie Lanzhi smiled and said, "Don't think about it. The first White Eagle fighter will not be activated again unless it goes to the battlefield. When it is officially unveiled, it will definitely be assigned to you."
Liu Sheng was visibly disappointed: "If I had known earlier, I would have tried it out when you came to Jing City for your test flight."
"Brother Lan! Come and have a drink!"
After playing around, Chu Lianying came over with two glasses of wine.
"Sister-in-law, my Nini misses you so much. She said she'll come to play with you later."
Qin Shu nodded and smiled: "I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her a lot."
The drinking party lasted for an hour. The specially supplied wine had a light taste and a gentle aftertaste, and the alcoholic effect dissipated quickly.
Chu Lianying suggested playing cards to stay up all night, and Xie Lanzhi nodded in agreement.
After the table was cleared, a group of young men from wealthy families who had made their mark in various industries lazily leaned back in their chairs and played cards, occasionally bringing up gossip about Beijing and telling it to Xie Lanzhi and Qin Shu.
Chu Lianying threw out a card, looked at Qin Shu with hesitation, and suddenly said: "Brother Lan, a lot of things happened in Beijing during the six months you were away."
Xie Lanzhi stared at Chu Lianying for two seconds, then asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Tell me about it."
They grew up together, and as soon as Chu Lianying spoke, Xie Lanzhi realized that there was something else behind his words.
Chu Lianying licked his lips and said sarcastically, "There was a bastard in the compound next door. He was so young and didn't keep himself clean. He killed someone. His family spent some money to settle it.
This kid was not honest afterwards. Not long after, he raced on the street and hit someone, who was the last disciple of the president of Beijing University. She was a girl with a bright future, but her future was cut short just like that..."
