Chapter 32: The Thirty-first Day After the Character Collapse
Netizens followed Qin Qingqing's family and attended Mrs. Lu's birthday party online.
Then they were stunned by the entire complex of old houses and villas!
They drove for another ten minutes, passing through the cluster of villas and heading towards the main villa area.
But after a ten-minute drive, I was dazzled by the sight.
Because there are many other facilities built on both sides of this main road.
For example, a garden.
Flowers are in full bloom and butterflies are fluttering in the garden; beside the garden there are lawns, rockeries, fountains, pavilions and terraces.
There is even a small playground.
【This……】
【This is the home of the richest man! 】
The barrage of praises floated by, and I don’t know how many people’s thoughts were expressed.
Immediately, someone added:
【Of course!】
[The small villa where President Lu and Mrs. Lu live now is also quite nice. ]
【Small?】
【Do you have any misunderstanding about "small"? 】
The "small villa" where Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing currently live is not as big as the main villa area of the old house, but compared with other villa areas of the old house, it is definitely luxurious!
Of course, "luxury" is for those of them who just watch the show.
For President Lu and Mrs. Lu...it might really be too "small".
Netizens were silent for a moment.
It was only quiet for a moment.
Because Qin Qingqing and the others have arrived.
Arrived at the main villa area - this is the residence of Mrs. Lu; it is also the main venue for this birthday party.
The place was decorated with more expensive flowers, balloons, and even a red carpet; professional media had been waiting for a long time, just waiting to interview the guests.
[Oh my god! Is this an awards ceremony or a birthday party? ]
[I was lucky. I thought Qingshen and the others had taken the wrong path...]
[I am dying of laughter...me too! ]
Everyone made some noises that they had never heard before (：D)
Then, the door opened—
Qin Qingqing and her family of three walked onto the red carpet.
His white suit was well-tailored, his facial features were delicate and deep, and he looked like a cool king; the shutters of the media were clicking!
Lu Liye arrived in a casual suit and leather shoes, looking high-spirited and noble like a little prince. The live broadcast audience took screenshots and licked the screen first!
But soon, both the king and the prince turned around at the same time.
Just to welcome their queen!
and……
Queen?
Qin Qingqing was about to pick up her goose-yellow skirt and get off the car.
Then I saw the slender hand in front of me——
From Lu Bai.
And the eldest son Lu Liye was eagerly waiting for her to hold her father's hand and go into the main villa hall with them!
She was stunned.
She smiled leisurely and placed her white fingertips on Lu Bai's palm.
At the same time, holding up the goose yellow skirt swing, get off the car!
Suddenly, a light breeze blows.
It added a touch of elegance to her goose-yellow dress, and also blew her braided hair across her collarbone and cheeks.
Lu Bai stopped very naturally and stretched out his hand to put her messy hair back.
“Crack, crack—”
I don’t know who it was, but he was pressing the shutter button frantically until sparks almost came out of his fingertips!
【Ahhhhh!!!】
【Our king and queen! I got it! I got it~】
I didn't know who it was, but there was a burst of groundhog screams!
【Lu.Prince.Leaving the field:? Suddenly turned into a high-wattage light bulb?】
A barrage of praises floated by.
But it is not the voice of Lu Li's ambition——
Because our little prince had already calmly followed his parents into the hall.
There were already quite a few people toasting in the hall.
But the clinking of glasses stopped the moment the door was opened!
No matter they were businessmen, celebrities, or big-name media people... they all stopped chatting and went to look at this extremely good-looking family of three.
until--
On a high seat, an old lady in a dark red dress, a pearl necklace, and gray hair, laughed happily.
"Who is this? Xiaobai, Qingqing... and Liye?"
"Our eldest grandson has finally returned home with his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson to visit grandma..."
"grandmother."
Lu Bai greeted them, his voice as cold as always.
"Grandma~"
Qin Qingqing was so cute and adorable.jpg, and she kept calling him so much that the old lady was surprised and happy.
"Grandma."
Lu Liye spoke in a low voice.
“Okay, okay…”
The old lady finally got what she wished for. She saw her eldest grandson, his wife Qin Qingqing and his beloved son Lu Yiye, attending the banquet together.
She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
The whole audience finally reacted.
"This is President Lu, Young Master Lu, and...Mrs. Lu!"
"This Madam Lu, it seems that she is not as 'absurd' as the rumors say, right?"
"She seems to have a pretty good relationship with Young Master Lu and President Lu..."
Which of these wealthy ladies/celebrity businessmen/big-name media people is not well-informed?
They naturally heard the rumors about Qin Qingqing in recent days.
but--
About Qingqing's participation in the parent-child variety show "Who is the Happiest Family", and the pilot of the parent-child variety show is currently being broadcast live.
However, only a few people knew about this news.
After all——
Even Qin Qingqing herself only found out about it when she signed the contract yesterday afternoon.
As for Qin Qingqing: As early as in the pilot film, some crazy and clamoring black fans were directly or indirectly slapped in the face and some false rumors were completely crushed.
Even Qin Qingqing herself did not notice this news - Lu Bai and his son tacitly did not tell her about the melee on the bullet screen just now.
This group of wealthy ladies, famous businessmen, and big-name media people are even less aware of it.
Very appropriate -
Du Miaoyi was one of the people who was completely unaware of the latter two pieces of news.
She just watched.
Watching: The old lady praised Lu Bai, praised Lu Liye, and praised Qin Qingqing with eyes full of joy.
And watching...
The old lady was so happy that she immediately allocated a property to Qin Qingqing.
Du Miaoyi finally couldn't sit still anymore!
She decided: Now she would follow Lin Anzhi's advice and guide Qin Qingqing a little; let her confirm those rumors in public and she would have no way to defend herself!
As she was thinking, she came up to the old lady.
Just in time——
Over there, Qin Qingqing took out the birthday gift.
The birthday gift packaging also has the “Qingyun Building” logo printed on it!
Du Miaoyi sneered at that time.
She sneered without any concealment!
Instantly, it attracted many eyes...
Even the media at the scene vaguely "smelled" the scent of a big melon and secretly pointed their cameras this way!
But in fact——
The media had already been informed by Lin An and were waiting to cooperate with Du Miaoyi.
Du Miaoyi glanced at the camera and instantly felt confident!
She cleared her throat and met the old lady's puzzled gaze... At the same time, she gave Qin Qingqing, who was "pretending to be well-behaved," a provocative look.
"Mom, please be gentle!"
"Xiaobai and Liye are busy at work and school respectively. Qingqing doesn't have anything important to do on weekdays, so she is too lazy to choose a good gift for you."
"Instead, I just bought something from my own store to make up the number..."
"This is really a bit absurd."
absurd?
Such a bright word instantly reminded everyone present of some recent rumors about Qin Qingqing.
"Ms. Du, is this a hammer? Mrs. Lu is being ridiculous?"
"Forget it! We were really deceived by Qin Qingqing's appearance!"
"It's fine that she deceived us, but she was idle all day and didn't pay attention to choosing the birthday gift. How could she have the nerve to act nice in front of the old lady?"
"Yue; the old lady just praised her and gave her a house as a gift... Is she comfortable with it?!"
Suddenly, the scene... from all directions, there were whispers!
Even the shutter buttons of the media were clicking; they wanted to record down this major news and make it the headline!
Only then have they completed the task assigned to them by Ms. Du.
As one side of the scene was cursing Qin Qingqing for being "ridiculous", the netizens who were taking a bird's-eye view had already become confused and could not help laughing.
[Isn’t it? ]
[A professional racer like Qingshen is considered lazy, and a rally champion is ridiculous... Then aren't all of you here real trash? ]
[It’s already 2023, is there anyone still believing that outrageous rumor? ]
[I really want to see the God of Contempt slap the faces of those fools who think she is "absurd and idle"! ]
Can……
It's already 2023, and everyone at the scene not only thinks Qin Qingqing is "absurd", but also thinks that she "treats her son harshly and wastes her husband"!
Du Miaoyi slapped her forehead as if she had suddenly realized something, then glanced at the old lady hesitantly, wanting to say something.
The old lady frowned fiercely, but still waved her hand——
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it together."
"Then...Mom, I told you..."
"Don't blame me for gossiping."
Du Miaoyi uttered a symbolic word of exoneration and then said nothing more.
As soon as the sound comes out, it is:
"What a coincidence."
"Speaking of Qingqing's 'absurdity', it just confirms the rumors I heard recently; the rumors also say that... Qingqing... is not only absurd, but also treats her son harshly and abuses her husband."
When she said this, she glanced at the old lady with a subtle expression; Chenggong saw that the old lady's face darkened.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Qin Qingqing with a fake smile.
"I wonder what Qingqing girl thinks about this?"
As soon as Du Miaoyi finished speaking.
At the scene, the crowd who were unaware of the truth followed her and cast contemptuous glances at Qin Qingqing. They were waiting to see the wicked woman of the rich family make a fool of herself.
The barrage of comments, the crowd who knew the truth, were already tapping their toes and trembling for Du Miaoyi!
【Appraisal completed: Ms. Du did not watch the live broadcast this morning! 】
[Didn’t she look at the expressions of Lu Liye and Lu Bai? One of them had a violent look in his eyes, and the other had a cold and sinister look. It seemed like they were going to join forces to kill Du Miaoyi…]
[Hey? Lu Liye moved! He walked straight towards Du Miaoyi——]
I'm afraid I really have to shut this gossipy woman up for Qin Qingqing?
Everyone thought the same thing.
The number of online viewers in Xiao Xingfu. Qin Qingqing's live broadcast room has increased by tens of thousands!
In reality...
Haodaer simply walked forward and opened the birthday gift package with Qin Qingqing.
The true face of the gift was revealed——
The painting of "Pine and Crane Prolonging Life".
"Grandma, my mom and I went to the top floor of Qingyun Building to pick these out."
That was all Lu Liye said.
There is no need to say this!
Everyone knows that the top floor of Qingyun Building is a real antique district. The items sold here are all unique and priceless.
This painting of "Pine and Crane Prolonging Life" is the best among them - it is colorful and full of vitality, and is most suitable for celebrating a birthday.
Its price is also the highest among unique pieces.
Back then, Du Miaoyi herself was reluctant to buy it!
Qin Qingqing chose this picture as a birthday gift for the old lady; it cannot be said that she was very attentive, but rather she was 100% attentive!
What's more: she and her son chose this birthday gift together.
That's it?
Du Miaoyi also said that Qin Qingqing was "ridiculous and careless"; she also said that Qin Qingqing treated her son harshly?
Isn't this just lying with your eyes open?
All the businessmen, celebrities, wealthy ladies and top media professionals at the scene were embarrassed.
And Du Miaoyi?
As early as when Lu Liye stepped forward to speak for Qin Qingqing, he noticed something was wrong and his face turned grim.
When Lu Liyezhen and Qin Qingqing presented gifts to the old lady together, Du Miaoyi's face turned completely dark!
Can--
And this is just an appetizer.
Lu Liye and Qin Qingqing together presented the unique "Songhe Yannian" to the old lady.
The old lady's face suddenly turned from cloudy to bright.
She smiled cheerfully.
"good."
"Qingqing and Liye's painting 'Pine and Crane Prolonging Life', with pine trees standing proudly against frost and snow and cranes emerging from the world, is truly a rare masterpiece."
“You guys are so thoughtful.”
"No, no... This is what we young people should do."
Qin Qingqing replied to the old lady obediently.
Caught off guard again, I looked into the eyes of my elder son——
She winked at him again secretly.
"Thank you~"
A silent lip shape.
The hostility in Lu Liye's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he shook his head slightly.
What can we do?
Since Qin Qingqing, his mother, didn't want him to lose his temper at the old lady's birthday party, he had no choice but to use this method to dispel the rumors with her.
When Du Miaoyi spread the "rumor", Lu Liye wanted to tear the gossip out of her mouth.
But Qin gently grabbed his wrist and shook his head slightly at him.
Obviously, she didn't want him to ruin the old lady's birthday party.
He had no choice but to do the next best thing and show the "Picture of Songs and Cranes Prolonging Life" in the packaging bag to the old lady, and took the initiative to point out that this was what he and Qin Qingqing chose for the old lady.
Sure enough, some of the rumors were dispelled; the old lady was also very happy because of this gift.
Can……
There is only one last step left.
That step will be left to his old father.
Lu Liye thought so and turned around, giving Lu Bai a look.
The coldness in Lu Bai's eyes froze for a moment, but he still raised his eyes cooperatively.
His voice was cold.
"If I remember correctly..."
"Ms. Du just asked Qin Qingqing: What do you think about the rumors?"
As Lu Bai finished speaking, the atmosphere, which had just warmed up, froze again.
Even Qin Qingqing turned back subconsciously——
Obviously, I didn't expect him to bring up this matter again.
Du Miaoyi was caught off guard when her name was called out, and the anger on her face hadn't dissipated yet.
But it seemed like I saw some hope.
She nodded without hesitation!
"yes!"
"Even if she and Liye bought a gift for the old lady."
"It also doesn't dispel the rumors that she is absurd, idle, and tortures her husband...right?!"
When Du Miaoyi said this, she deliberately avoided the phrase "harsh treatment of her son"; she looked at Lu Bai in a mysterious manner and added another sentence.
"Maybe, it might be more than just a rumor, right?"
She knew how Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing got married.
Of course, I also know that there has been discord between the two of them over the past decade or so...
She is waiting!
Waiting for Lu Bai to expose Qin Qingqing's mask.
Can--
How could Lu Bai do what Du Miaoyi wished?
His voice became colder.
"More than just a rumor?"
"Then what else does Ms. Du think it could be?"
When he said this, everyone shuddered!
Especially Du Miaoyi.
At this moment, she realized something was wrong: After Lu Liye protected Qin Qingqing, did Lu Bai also want to protect Qin Qingqing? !
How, how is this possible!
She looked at Lu Bai in surprise.
But Lu Bai is still saying——
His voice became colder.
"Qingqing is not absurd, idle, or wasting her husband."
"She is a professional racing driver and has achieved great success in her field."
"We are a family of three and we have a harmonious family."
"Don't let me hear this rumor from Ms. Du again..."
Lu Bai paused when he said this.
He glanced at Du Miaoyi coldly.
"clear?"
"!"
Du Miaoyi shuddered at that moment.
She nodded randomly.
However, the brain crashed due to the scene of "Lu Bai protecting Qin Qingqing".
But Lu Bai no longer looked at her.
But...
The aura is fully open and looking around the whole audience!
"You all, too. That rumor..."
"It's just a rumor!"
"We won't spread rumors again!"
“I promise!!!”
The businessmen, celebrities, and noble ladies were all busy and silent.
They tapped their toes on the ground and created a dream castle*n; they also wished that time could go back so that they could slap themselves in the face for agreeing with Ms. Du!
The media’s fingertips were also trembling: they were pressing the shutter buttons so frantically that they got cramps!
They have already thought of a lot of terms like #Qin Qingqing's rumors are self-defeating#, #Qin Qingqing is a professional racing driver#, #Qin Qingqing has a harmonious family#.
They had a good idea: even if they couldn't help Ms. Du to verify the rumor, it would be good to grab a front-page headline of "Qin Qingqing's rumor was self-defeating"!
But how could they know that Qin Qingqing had already broadcast all of this live, and countless netizens were watching online?
They are doomed to be in vain.
But no matter what, the rumors about Qin Qingqing were proven false.
Among them, who is the happiest?
Of course...it’s Mrs. Lu!
The old lady never expected that on her 80th birthday, she would not only see her eldest grandson, his wife Qin Qingqing and his beloved son Lu Leye, but also attend the banquet together.
As expected, I saw the three of them living in harmony and happiness...
and--
This granddaughter-in-law is a professional racing driver?
"Qingqing, which racing club are you from? How many races have you participated in? Have you ever won a championship? It doesn't matter if you haven't, just be careful..."
The old lady's face was full of concern.
Qin Qingqing answered one by one.
"Four-leaf clover."
"A lot... I can't really count."
"Ah... there are champions, runners-up, and third place winners. The most recent one is the champion, and it was at the Nanshan International Raceway. I'll bring the medal to you someday..."
"Yeah, I'll pay attention!"
The more she answered.
The staff on site also became more and more familiar with it.
Soon, someone responded!
"Oh my god! Isn't she a light-hearted person?"
"The rally champion? The one that even Captain Tianrui knelt before?"
“Mmmmm!!!”
"Oh my god, my secretary watched that game, but I didn't watch the meeting... I didn't expect to miss it. Oh my god!"
"Me too! I never dreamed that the wealthy lady Qin Qingqing is also a professional racing driver!"
The whole audience was shocked!
[Oh my! It’s already 2023, how come only a few people know that “Qingshen = wealthy lady Qin Qingqing”? doge~]
Everyone at the scene of the bullet screen is good at it!
I couldn't help it...I was already laughing "Hahahaha".
[Finally, finally: the outrageous rumor has been clarified! My Qingshen vest can no longer hide! ]
[But God knows - Miss Qing ignored the gossipy Ms. Du from beginning to end! ]
[Winning without any effort! Winning like crazy! ]
However, even more exciting things are still to come!
Over there, old lady Lu——
After a while, he praised Qin Qingqing: She is a great racer and full of energy!
After a while, I looked at Qin Qingqing's family of three happily, feeling very satisfied!
The more I looked at the "Pine and Crane Longevity Picture" birthday gift from Qin Qingqing, the more I liked it!
The more she looked at the gifts, the happier she became.
So...
He waved again.
"Be gentle!"
“This gift set is worth a lot of money.”
"Otherwise, grandma will give you another apartment... the one in the southern suburbs, as a subsidy to you."
"Mom!"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Du Miaoyi next to her was already extremely jealous and shouted out loud!
After hearing this shout, Du Miaoyi felt something was wrong.
But, it is obviously too late.
The old lady's face turned from sunny to cloudy at that moment.
"Miaoyi, what happened to you today?"
"First, they didn't even see the birthday ceremony, and then they slandered me."
"And they even brought those unbearable rumors to the surface; it's a bit embarrassing!"
"Now you're stopping me from subsidizing the younger generation..."
"You are still being gentle, Auntie. How do you act like an elder?!"
The old lady's scolding was already very stern.
Du Miaoyi's plan was first ruined by Lu Liye, and she was then threatened by Lu Bai. Now... at the banquet, in front of everyone, she was scolded by the old lady. She was extremely angry!
But she was upset on the one hand, and on the other hand: the house in the southern suburbs was what she wanted! In the end, the old lady also used it to subsidize Qin Qingqing?
Du Miaoyi lost her wife and her army, she was about to cry...
But the old lady was unwilling to give her another look.
She looked at Qin Qingqing again, and her cheerful look had returned to normal.
She made the final decision with just one blow!
"Qingqing, let's make a deal -"
"Grandma will give you the apartment in the southern suburbs."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Qin Qingqing had no choice but to respond.
In this case, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to my grandmother if I refused her?
Besides...it's not necessary.
There's no need to turn down a property.
[Tsk, extremely comfortable! ]
[Ms. Du didn’t expect this, did she? The old lady gave Miss Qing a house as a subsidy~]
[I never thought of that! So rich people just give away their apartments as gifts? I'm so jealous! ]
【Me too, me too! 】
[Yeah yeah yeah yeah~]
The style of bullet screen painting gradually became weird.
Qin Qingqing got two houses for free during this trip, and crushed Du Miaoyi's plot without even seeing a blade. Afterwards, she lost interest in meeting Du Miaoyi again.
She nestled in a corner, eating snacks and cakes.
Occasionally, I would accompany my grandmother to unpack birthday gifts from various families; from time to time, I would get some fashionable jewelry...
The time was spent until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, there is a new product launch conference——
It is a perfect occasion for Mr. Lu to discuss business with other bosses.
The noble ladies and the dandy young men either politely said their last goodbye or moved to the small garden in the main villa area to admire the flowers and have fun.
Qin Qingqing and Lu Liye chose the latter.
Because Han Zirui, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came to see his brother Ye; Qi Yanyan also brought Gu Yuan to see their young sister.
But, who could have thought of it?
They had a fight in the garden.
