pupil earthquake
Guan Shanyue was pinned down on the office chair by Niuniu, preventing her from moving. "Sister Shanyue, please, just show up and give me some face. I organized this cocktail party and sent out the invitations. If no one important comes, my dad will definitely force me to marry him off."
Guan Shanyue laughed: "We've known each other for a few years, and every time you've used the excuse of your father forcing you to marry, you're still using it now?"
Niuniu clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly, "You know, my dad just wants me to be happy, and his marriage is very happy, so he thinks I have to get married to be happy." She changed the subject, "But you also know, I've wanted to be an architectural designer since I was a child. Getting married will hinder my progress."
Guan Shanyue smiled helplessly. Niuniu was as innocent and cute as ever. "Okay."
Niuniu raised her hands high: "Woohoo!" She pulled out a whole box from the bag at her feet and handed it to Guan Shanyue, "The dress is ready for you, and the makeup artist will be here soon."
She turned and went out, holding another large box, and walked to Wang Xi's table. Niuniu's voice came clearly: "Wang Xi, let's go. Sister Shanyue is going too. I'm going too. Can you go too?"
Guan Shanyue smiled and opened the cover of her dress. The rich dark green reflected in her eyes. She frowned impatiently. This color was too eye-catching and did not suit her at all.
She shouted towards Wang Xi's office: "Niuniu, have you prepared any other dresses?"
Niuniu came over quickly again, like a cloud blown away by the wind. She took out the dress and asked in disbelief: "Why, don't you like it? The green color suits you very well!"
Niuniu tugged at her gray dress and said earnestly, "Don't always wear black, white, or gray. Don't only wear blue dresses to cocktail parties. You're so beautiful, you should dress like a colorful peacock, flamboyant, and draw everyone's attention to you!"
Guan Shanyue was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Do I often wear blue to cocktail parties?" She had no idea.
Niuniu angrily dragged her into the dressing room and pointed at the blue dresses lined up in the closet from lightest to darkest: "Take a look for yourself!"
Guan Shanyue glanced at the dress in front of her, and her mind inevitably emerged the first time Shao Zizhuo took her to a cocktail party. At that time, she had no sincerity towards him, and only wanted to get through the obstacles and complete the plot, but she was distracted by the blue haute couture dress.
She suddenly didn't know whether she could not forget the gentle glimpse of Shao Zizhuo under the lamp that day, or she could not forget the first time she put on the useless yet beautiful expensive dress.
Later on, she had billions of assets and a professional styling team. She could choose from all the new luxury dresses. There were dresses worth millions hanging in her closet, but none of them was as stunning as the first one she wore.
Then, she unconsciously bought one blue dress after another.
Carving a boat to look for a sword.
Guan Shanyue smiled self-deprecatingly.
Niuniu dug out a box from somewhere and held it in front of Guan Shanyue like she was presenting a treasure: "Sister Shanyue, why don't you try that skirt on and wear these earrings with it? It will definitely look great."
She turned the box around and asked in confusion, "How come I've never seen you wear such beautiful earrings before?"
The round and smooth pearls and the dazzling diamonds caught Guan Shanyue's eyes when she was off guard. She was suddenly stunned, and dusty memories swept in and drowned her reason.
Seeing that Guan Shanyue didn't respond for a long time, Niu Niu looked at her in confusion. Her face was pale, like a lost traveler trapped in a swamp, unable to escape.
Niu Niu was startled and looked at the thing in her hand helplessly. Wang Xi walked straight over, nodded to Niu Niu helplessly, closed the box and threw it into the cabinet.
Niu Niu finally realized that it was what Zizhuo left for Guan Shanyue when he left... She looked at Guan Shanyue helplessly, subconsciously wanting to apologize.
Guan Shanyue stood up, picked up the dress, and took out the box from the cabinet, stopping her from talking in time: "It's okay, just wear this."
She closed the door, locking everything out.
Niuniu carefully controlled her voice, her annoyance evident in her tone unpretentious: "I've gotten into trouble again. I didn't even think of this person."
Wang Xi had already changed into the dress Niuniu had picked for her. She leaned on the table and said meaningfully, "Shao Zizhuo is back."
Niu Niu's eyes widened. In order to avoid being urged to get married and because she was busy with work, she had not been home during this period. She only contacted her parents by phone. How come they didn't tell her about such a big thing!
Guan Shanyue pushed open the door, put on the earrings, and continued naturally: "I met him at a drinking party a few days ago."
A bomb exploded suddenly, and Wang Xi and Niu Niu looked at each other in surprise.
Guan Shanyue seemed to have no idea what she was saying. She spun around with her skirt tugged at her, looking at herself in the mirror. "In the bar opened by Yuan Wangshu."
Niu Niu could no longer control her emotions and shouted in surprise: "What?" Brother Zizhuo went to Sister Wangshu's bar and was met by Sister Shanyue and drank with him?
No way, what kind of clichéd 8 o'clock drama is this?
Even though Wang Xi was so rational and clear-headed, he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Guan Shanyue leaned her hands on the dressing table and lowered her head: "Does Yuan Wangshu have a boyfriend?" Guan Shanyue had been avoiding Yuan Wangshu intentionally or unintentionally, so she knew nothing about her.
Niu Niu glanced at Wang Xi, not knowing whether she should say it or not.
Wang Xi sighed and spilled the beans: "Yuan Wangshu has a mysterious boyfriend abroad, rumor has it he's also a wealthy second-generation, but no one's ever seen him. A few years ago, Yuan Wangshu went abroad for nearly a year, and upon returning, he wore a diamond ring on his ring finger. The Yuan family hasn't been very specific about the details, but they certainly haven't urged Yuan Wangshu to find a partner."
A mysterious boyfriend from abroad. Guan Shanyue couldn't help but think of Shao Zizhuo. Her heart was throbbing with pain, and the muscles just below her shoulder blades were swollen and aching. Her stomach was surging uncontrollably, wanting to see the light of day again.
Niu Niu silently added: "Sister Wangshu sometimes mentions her boyfriend when chatting with me, but they are all daily trivial matters, and there is no way to know who the other person is." She wanted to say indirectly, it may not be Brother Zizhuo, Sister Shanyue, don't misunderstand!
Wang Xi saw Guan Shanyue's expression was not right: "It's not what you think. If it really was Shao Zizhuo, the Yuan family would have made it public. Why are they hiding and unwilling to mention this matter?"
Reason returned, and the nausea dissipated. Guan Shanyue gently pressed the muscles in his heart to ease the discomfort in his heart: "Let's go. Niuniu is in charge of the cocktail party, so we should at least go and take a look."
Arriving at the venue, Guan Shanyue went upstairs and found an empty room to sit down.
Her head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split. There was too much information and too many coincidences. She couldn't guess, nor did she dare to guess.
He had thought it through the last time he saw Shao Zizhuo. Now that the system had disappeared, her own will could control her life, and she could vent her complicated thoughts. She also wanted an answer as to whether what happened back then was a misunderstanding or Shao Zizhuo's own decision.
She wanted to stand in front of him and ask him, what exactly are they?
There were hurried footsteps at the door, and someone said anxiously, "It's about to start, why is Mr. Guan gone?"
Another person said, "I saw Ms. Guan coming upstairs. Why can't I find her?"
Guan Shanyue collected her thoughts and pressed her solar plexus, trying to curb the headache. She looked down at her phone, which was on silent mode and had a bunch of missed calls from Niuniu.
She put her phone into her handbag and locked it, then opened the door: "I'm here."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief and came over to greet her with smiles on their faces: "Mr. Guan, please come this way."
As soon as she arrived at the venue, people who wanted to get close to her or pursue her came over in groups of three or four. Guan Shanyue had no intention of dealing with them, so she sent them away with a few words and made it clear that she didn't want to disturb them. But they were shameless and came over to chat with her.
She took the time to look for Wang Xi, but she was also surrounded, with only the thin hem of her skirt visible.
Obviously, Wang Xi was also unable to help.
As for Niu Niu, she disappeared completely.
Guan Shanyue had no choice but to hold the red wine, smile nonchalantly, and daydream alone among the stars.
As Shao Zizhuo entered the room holding Shao Kezhen, he saw this scene - Guan Shanyue was surrounded by a group of men, she was holding a glass of red wine, her dark green long skirt made her skin look white as a picture, the layered satin was decorated into a noisy and warm straps, spread out on her shoulders, and then pinched into the belt at the waistline, blooming between her hips, covering the looming gauze, as if you could see the exposed skin of her calves through the gauze.
Red lips, long hair, stunningly beautiful.
She is at ease in the world of fame and fortune and deserves to attract everyone's attention.
Zhenzhen's mouth grew into a round shape, and she said excitedly, "Mom, my hair is the same as mine today!"
Shao Zizhuo's gaze fell on her hair again. Her hair was tied into a bun, neatly placed behind her head, revealing her forehead. It was exactly the same hairstyle as Zhenzhen's today.
Shao Zizhuo chuckled. Could this be considered telepathy?
Zhenzhen shook her legs to attract her father's attention: "Dad, remember, I'll go first to soften Mom's heart, and you can come later. Let's work hard together and make Mom forgive you quickly!"
Shao Zizhuo asked her, "What exactly are you going to do? Can you tell Daddy now?"
Zhenzhen covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously, her voice leaking out from the gaps in her palms: "No, Dad, just follow me!"
Shao Zizhuo was helpless. Three-year-old children enter a period of order, with a strong sense of independence and self-awareness. They all have their own little secrets. He put Zhenzhen on the ground, squatted down and told her: "Daddy is behind you. Call Dad if you need anything."
Zhenzhen nodded and ran towards Guan Shanyue with her short legs.
Guan Shanyue drank the red wine in the glass, put the glass aside, and was about to take another glass.
A child's crying voice suddenly sounded, gradually approaching her: "Mom."
Something soft hugged her thigh. Guan Shanyue lowered her head and looked at the child hugging her thigh. She tilted her face upwards and cried sadly, "Mom."
Seeing the child's face clearly, Guan Shanyue's pupils trembled. This face was like a smaller version of hers: "I'm not your mother, don't scream."
