Chapter 227 The CEO of Haisheng Group is coming to the birthday party
"Aci was admitted to Peking University and ranked first in the independent enrollment examination. How could he bring shame to our Chu family?" Meng Qingyan defended Chu Ci.
"It's good that she has good grades, but her personality is so bad. She ignores everyone, as if the whole world owes her money. No matter how smart she is, she is not likable!"
Meng Qingyan felt uncomfortable when she heard Chu Yuheng say this about Chu Ci, but she couldn't make any excuses for Chu Ci.
"Well... okay, I'll talk to her." Meng Qingyan compromised.

Meng Qingyan came to find Chu Ci after hearing what Chu Yuheng said.
"Ah Ci, the day after tomorrow is your grandfather's 70th birthday. Many people will be coming to our house. Mom hopes you can stay in your room that day and not go downstairs. Mom also knows that you don't like socializing, so..."
Meng Qingyan looked at Chu Ci cautiously.
"Oh." Chu Ci responded with an expressionless face, neither happy nor angry.
"Aci, Mom knows this is unfair to you." Meng Qingyan apologized in a soft voice, "If you are dissatisfied or sad, just say it out, don't keep it in your heart."
Chu Ci's eyes were indifferent, "Don't think too highly of your position in my heart. I don't care about you that much."
Chu Ci's words blocked all the words that Meng Qingyan had in her mind.
Meng Qingyan was sad and at a loss. She wanted to say something, but then she realized that what Chu Ci said was not wrong.
They haven't seen each other for eighteen years, and even during the recent time they have been together, they don't have many good memories between them. They are more like roommates living in the same house.
Meng Qingyan deflated: "Mom knows."
Meng Qingyan left Chu Ci's room with heavy steps.

On Saturday, it was Mr. Chu’s 70th birthday.
The Chu family villa was bustling with activity.
All those who came were prominent figures in Tonghai City.
As agreed, Chu Ci did not go to the banquet hall, but lay alone in the small garden behind the villa to bask in the sun.
The weather is great and the sun is shining brightly.
A figure blocked Chu Ci's view of the sunlight. Chu Ci opened his eyes and saw Xie Yi's handsome and elegant face.
He smiled, and his smile was as warm as the sunshine.
"Do you like sunbathing?" Xie Yi asked in a soft and refreshing voice.
"Occasionally." Chu Ci replied, "This temperature."
"I got you a drink." Xie Yi placed the glass of juice next to Chu Ci.
"Thank you." Chu Ci thanked him.
Xie Yi sat down on the balcony chair next to Chu Ci and basked in the sun with Chu Ci.
"I haven't congratulated you on getting into Peking University with the first place score yet." Xie Yi said.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious."
Xie Yi couldn't help but smile as he looked at Chu Ci, who was calm and enjoying the natural scene.
He has been following her for three years. She is very special, doesn't interact with others much, and can be considered a loner.
The experience of being abandoned since childhood makes it difficult for her to open up to others.
Later, with the care of her adoptive parents, she gradually opened her heart. Just when she was about to embrace a new life full of sunshine and warmth, an accident took away her warmth.
But at the same time she is full of kindness.
She had a not-so-good past, but she never mentioned her past to anyone, and never showed the suffering of the past on her face.
Live a carefree and casual life.
Xie Yi didn't know since when, paying attention to Chu Ci had become a part of his life.
I don't even know when it started, but I went from watching from afar to wanting to get closer.
