Chapter 521 The heroine of the group pet article is my cousin (22)
Hua Shichu finally came out of the company. She was wearing a mint green professional dress, her hair was like ink, her skin was like cream, and she was wearing a pair of ten-centimeter high heels. She walked briskly, and at first glance she was a beautiful and capable career woman.
When the strong woman saw Brother Song, she immediately smiled brightly and waved, "Come here!"
Song Zhiyao walked towards Hua Shichu like an obedient dog, and carefully held her arm, letting her lean on him so that she wouldn't have to walk so hard.
"Where are we going to eat today?" Hua Shichu asked him.
"Meizhenlou." Song Zhiyao helped Hua Shichu to the passenger seat of the car, then he got in the driver's seat and drove.
"Have you made a fortune? You actually invited me to dinner at Meizhenlou." Hua Shichu said in surprise. Although the name of Meizhenlou is ordinary, it is indeed a very luxurious private restaurant. It is said that the chefs there have all prepared state banquets. If you want to have a meal at Meizhenlou, it is not enough to have money, you have to make a reservation several days in advance.
"I recently completed an experiment with my teacher and won a bonus." Although Song Zhiyao's expression was very calm, Hua Shichu, who was familiar with him, heard a hint of pride and complacency in his tone.
Hua Shichu suddenly found it funny. This guy was still so arrogant. If he wanted others to praise him, he had to act like a Versailles first. "Congratulations. It seems that I can go to Meizhenlou for a big meal today thanks to you."
"If you want to eat, I will bring you here later." Song Zhiyao said shamelessly.
"It's better not to. It's okay to have such a feast once in a while, but if you eat it often, then there's nothing to look forward to." Hua Shichu said quickly, and then reminded him, "Besides, don't spend your money carelessly. How much can you get from doing experiments? Save this money in the future, and don't spend it on these fancy things."
Song Zhiyao couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth when he heard her earnest advice. She didn't know that when she said these words, she sounded like a young wife who told her husband not to spend money recklessly and to save money to support the family.
"Yeah, I will never spend money recklessly in the future." Song Zhiyao nodded obediently and was very pleased with Hua Shichu's persuasion.
After arriving at Meizhenlou, Song Zhiyao ordered the dishes. He already knew Hua Shichu's taste very well, so the dishes he ordered would only be the ones Hua Shichu liked.
Hua Shichu had long been accustomed to eating out with Song Zhiyao without having to worry about anything, because Song Zhiyao would do everything perfectly, making Hua Shichu very worry-free.
Before the dishes were served, Song Zhiyao poured Hua Shichu some scented tea, brought it to her, and said, "It's hot, wait until it cools down before drinking it."
Hua Shichu nodded, took out his mobile phone to check messages, replied to a few emails, and the dishes gradually came up.
Seeing that she was still looking down at her phone, Song Zhiyao brought the scented tea to her mouth and said, "Drink some tea to moisten your mouth first."
Hua Shichu didn't even raise her head and drank the tea from his hand. She was used to drinking water or tea to moisten her mouth and wake up her stomach before eating.
The two of them worked together so perfectly that it was obvious that they had done this many times and had a tacit understanding.
"Oh, Hua Shichu, you've really made it. You even have a pretty boy by your side?" A sarcastic voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Hua Shichu put away his phone and looked over there. He was surprised to find that it was Hua Shili.
She hadn't seen the Hua family since she broke up with them in her junior year. Unexpectedly, she met them at Meizhenlou four years later.
Hua Shichu looked towards Hua Shili and saw a group of familiar-looking people. This scene reminded her of the scene in the hotel restaurant four years ago.
That’s right, it was another dinner party between the Hua family and the Ming family. However, compared to the glamorous appearance four years ago, Hua’s father and mother had obviously aged a lot. They looked haggard and their hair was all white. Especially Hua’s mother, the wrinkles on her face were many more.
Ming Yuechen looked at Hua Shichu and Song Zhiyao with complicated eyes and said nothing. She knew that Song Zhiyao was not some pretty boy, but a famous physics genius in the school. Especially in the major of optics, he possessed a unique talent. Even she, who had already graduated, had heard of his name.
"Why aren't you talking? My dear sister, don't you even say hello to our parents and elder brother when you see them?" Ever since Hua Shili's career failed again and again and he squandered all of the Hua family's wealth in the past few years, he has become a broken jar and no longer wants to start a business. He is even more unwilling to look for a job. Instead, he stays at home and relies on his parents for support. No wonder Hua's parents are getting old so quickly, isn't it because their son is useless?
"Can you stay away from me? Your mouth stinks." Hua Shichu said in a very deliberate manner, and she also lifted the air in front of her nose with her hand. This action fully demonstrated her ridicule and contempt for Hua Shili.
Hua Shili was like an enraged leopard, he was furious and was about to rush over to beat Hua Shichu, but Hua's father and mother still had some sense and quickly held him back.
"Okay, she has nothing to do with our family anymore, Shi Li, just ignore her." Hua's father said.
Others also helped pull Hua Shili back to her seat.
"Chenchen, didn't Hua Shichu break up with her family? How does she have the money to come here to eat?" Ming's father asked Ming Yuechen.
Ming Yuechen lowered his eyes and replied, "She founded a technology company called 'Shichu Technology Co., Ltd.' Last year, it was named one of the top ten technology innovation companies. It is developing very well. She has her own money..."
Ming's father paused. He didn't expect that Hua Shichu was doing better than Hua Shili, whom the Hua family had high hopes for. He felt very complicated.
Hua's father happened to be sitting opposite Ming Yuechen and heard what Ming Yuechen said. He felt even worse and was not paying attention during the meal.
"Who is that pretty boy?" Ming Yuechen's second brother asked, "Is he really kept by Hua Shichu? She has good taste."
Ming Yuechen shook his head and said, "Second brother, he is not a gigolo. His name is Song Zhiyao. He is a very good student. He has published several papers in influential foreign magazines. The school is very optimistic about him... He and my cousin seem to have known each other for many years..."
Upon hearing this, the second brother Ming raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Hua Shichu is lucky." He himself was successful in his career and became a famous sculptor in the art circle. The Ming family was also rich and powerful, so they didn't care about Hua Shichu's little achievement at all and just thought she was lucky.
But Hua's mother was in a very bad mood. When she learned that Hua Shichu had succeeded in her business, it was like a bolt from the blue. Her daughter, whom she had always looked down upon, had succeeded in her business without any effort or money from her family; but her beloved son, whom she had high hopes for and spoiled since childhood, failed in his business time and time again and almost lost all the family property. This cruel and sharp contrast was simply unacceptable to her. Why did it happen?
