Chapter 18, Su Yue of the Su Family
"Yangyang is here too." Su Yue wore a gentle smile, and her voice, in a soft Wu dialect, was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze wrapped in drizzle, refreshing the heart: "Aunt Su is treating us to dinner today, to reward the hard-working senior high school students."
"You're running a business and always thinking about treating people. Are you going to continue doing business?" Liang Qiu and Su Yue said jokingly, "Today I want to reward my daughter. You should wait until next time."
"Haha." Su Yue chuckled and noticed that there was someone behind the screen, so she looked over.
"That's my niece, Kong Xiyan. She just came to South City not long ago." Liang Qiu glanced at the screen helplessly: "Xiyan, come over and say hello to Aunt Su."
This child who grew up in poverty, no matter how smart he is, is still a little petty in his behavior. When he encounters these exquisite things, he doesn't have to be so obsessed with them no matter how much he likes them.
Liang Qiu has a headache.
It seems that there is still a long way to go to transform Kong Xiyan into an outstanding socialite!
"This screen was made by Mr. Su Xusheng...right?" Kong Xiyan's attention was still on the screen.
Hearing Kong Xiyan accurately say the name of her elder, Su Yue's eyes lit up: "That's right, you are beautiful, and your eyes are very sharp. You can actually recognize that this screen is made by Su Xusheng!"
Kong Xiyan noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, so she made up an excuse: "I don't know many embroidery masters, so I just randomly named a name to try my luck."
Hearing Kong Xiyan say this, the light in Liang Qiu's eyes dimmed again.
How can it be enough to just be a little clever? This time I was lucky and got it right, but what should I do if I am wrong next time?
Su Yue didn't think so. She didn't think Kong Xiyan had just made up the name casually. "There's going to be a tasting at the Su family in a couple of days. If you're interested, you can come and join in the fun. I have a spot on my invitation so you can bring a friend."
"The Su family?" Kong Xiyan became interested.
Liang Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard Su Yue's invitation. That's the Su family!
Nancheng has a long history, and there have been many hidden dragons and crouching tigers since ancient times. If we really have to talk about it, the Su family should be at the top of the list.
Although the Zhong family is known as the richest family in South City, this is only the apparent ranking of assets. If we really talk about comprehensive strength, the Su family's status is far beyond the reach of the Zhong family.
It’s just that the Su family has no interest in these rankings and has never participated in them.
The head of the Su family is a low-key and humble person who likes antiques. He holds an appreciation meeting every year and invites celebrities from aristocratic families, but not everyone is qualified to participate.
Such a grand and elegant matter is not something that the Shang Jia Zhong family can handle.
If the Zhong family wanted to go, they could probably get an invitation from a friend and attend, but it would be boring in nature.
Now that Su Yue had invited Kong Xiyan, it was indeed a good opportunity. However, thinking of the behavior Kong Xiyan had shown today, Liang Qiu quickly waved his hand, fearing that Kong Xiyan's unpresentable behavior would make a fool of herself in the Su family. "How could she understand that?"
Seeing that Su Yue still wanted to invite him, Liang Qiu smiled and said, "The Su family's invitation is hard to come by, so you should save your place for someone who knows the ropes. As a senior high school student, it's better for her to concentrate on her studies."
If Su Yue invited her own daughter Yangyang, then she could go. Yangyang is young, so she could just go and see the world.
But Kong Xiyan...
By then, Kong Xiyan's every word and action will represent the reputation of the Zhong family. Even if she wants to make a public appearance in a formal occasion, she has to wait until Kong Xiyan has been trained enough!
After hearing what Liang Qiu said, Su Yue didn't know what to say. Just then, some food was delivered, so Su Yue left on the pretext of not disturbing the meal.
When Kong Xiyan saw Liang Qiu turned down the invitation, she didn't say anything.
During the meal, Liang Qiu asked Kong Xiyan about her taste, observed several of Kong Xiyan's favorite dishes, and secretly took note of them.
After dinner, Liang Qiu took the two of them to the city center for shopping. He first bought some decent clothes for Kong Xiyan. Seeing that Kong Xiyan looked good in everything she wore, Liang Qiu smiled more often.
Liang Qiu's beautiful eyes turned, and she became interested. She started to let Zhong Yangyang and Kong Xiyan try on several sets of clothes of the same style but different colors.
The two of them are of similar height and build, and when they wear the same clothes, they look like twins. Liang Qiu was very satisfied and simply bought all the clothes they tried on.
"It's time to buy Yangyang a phone." Liang Qiu hadn't finished playing the "Twins" game yet, and looked at Kong Xiyan with great interest: "I'll buy you one too. It would be nice if you two could use the same phone!"
Seeing Liang Qiu so excited, Zhong Yangyang could only cooperate with a smile, but Kong Xiyan never cared and just let her get excited.
"You two go pick out mobile phones first. I'll go to the bathroom and pick you up later. Remember to buy the same ones!" Liang Qiu said this and waved away, leaving only Zhong Yangyang and Kong Xiyan in the electronic technology area.
As the two were choosing their phones, they heard a female voice.
"Yangyang?"
When Zhong Yangyang heard the voice, she looked up and saw Gao Qianqian standing in front of her, with two classmates beside her.
"What a coincidence! You guys are here to buy a phone too." Gao Qianqian glanced at Kong Xiyan and said, "Yangyang, you said you had something to ask...is that it?"
"Zhong Yangyang, Gao Qianqian asked you to buy a phone but you didn't have time. How come you have time to go shopping with Kong Xiyan now?" The classmate looked unhappy, as if Zhong Yangyang had done something to offend Gao Qianqian: "You're not the type to get bored easily!"
"Zhong Yangyang, you were the one who kept saying you would compensate Gao Qianqian for her phone, but now you're doing this. What's going on? Are you afraid Qianqian will blackmail you?" Another classmate also looked like he was going to stand up for Gao Qianqian and vent his anger.
"I didn't, I..." Zhong Yangyang frowned and was interrupted by Kong Xiyan before she could finish her rebuttal.
"Yes, I'm just afraid that you will blackmail me." Kong Xiyan looked directly into Gao Qianqian's eyes: "I told you long ago that you broke your phone by yourself. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Kong Xiyan, what's your attitude?" The classmate was unhappy: "You cling to Zhong Yangyang all day long. Do you still have any self-respect? You're lying with your eyes open!"
"It's better to lie with open eyes than to be blind." Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Gao Qianqian: "You throw all the dirty water on Zhong Yangyang. You're used to it, right?"
Kong Xiyan saw through it long ago.
Gao Qianqian is happy to let others help her. She just hides behind others and shows a weak appearance, and then finds the right opportunity to step on Zhong Yangyang hard. She is so bad and hateful!
The two were still complaining for Gao Qianqian until Kong Xiyan took out her phone: "It's my first time in a new class. I took a video of it. Gao Qianqian, do you want to see it?"
"Kong Xiyan, who are you trying to fool? Nun Miejue was there at the time. If you dared to take out your phone..." Before the classmate could finish her words, a female voice came from Kong Xiyan's phone: "Zhong Yangyang! Gao Qianqian! Evening self-study is for you to study, not for entertainment!..."
This is exactly what Nun Miejue said that night when she yelled at Zhong Yangyang and Gao Qianqian to hand in their cell phones.
Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Qianqian's face changed. "Forget it! You don't have to pay for it. It was indeed my own carelessness that contributed to it... Just consider it my own fault!"
"Qianqian!" The two classmates saw Gao Qianqian like this and looked very disappointed: "If you are so easy to talk to, they will only bully you more!"
"Yes, Qianqian!" The classmate turned around and glared at Kong Xiyan, her voice getting much louder: "Is the food at the richest man's house so delicious? You've lost all your dignity just to get a meal, right?"
"When did Xiyan become a beggar in my house? How come I didn't know?" Liang Qiu's voice came from behind the crowd, filled with anger.
