Mr. Zhai’s 80th birthday party was held in a grand manner. It started with the younger generation of the Zhai family reading a congratulatory speech, and then Mr. Zhai said a few words. Only then did the dinner officially begin. During the dinner, there were also singing and dancing performances by specially invited stars.
At this time, Mr. Zhai had finished his speech and led the entire Zhai family to their seats.
The Qin family is located right next to them.
"Hahaha, Mr. Qin, thank you for coming to my birthday party. I thought you would find it too troublesome to come!" Mr. Zhai's eyes lit up when he saw the Qin family.
After hearing what he said, Old Master Qin's mouth twitched. He said, "You solemnly sent the invitation to my manor. How could I not come with such sincerity? Besides, the children also received the invitation, so I will just come to accompany them."
"Mr. Zhai, happy birthday." Out of politeness, Cheng Yuesheng and Qin Heque both stood up to congratulate him.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhai, for inviting me to the birthday party." Cheng Yuesheng said with a smile.
Although Mr. Zhai disliked Cheng Yuesheng, he would definitely express it directly in such an occasion.
He looked at Cheng Yuesheng with a smile, looking very satisfied, "Okay, okay, Ah Que's girlfriend is really polite."
"Hmph, I wonder what gift Miss Cheng has prepared for my grandfather's birthday party? You are so particular about etiquette, you wouldn't come empty-handed!" Zhai Yufei, who had been standing in the back without saying a word, finally couldn't help but find fault.
"Yufei!" Zhai Xuan looked at her with disapproval.
The expressions of the other young people in the Zhai family were also intriguing. Zhai Zan, whom I had met before, looked a little timid, while the other two younger men and women seemed to be gloating.
The feeling given is that the younger generation of the Zhai family is not united.
"Yufei, how can you say that? This young lady is the one favored by the Qin family. How could she make such a small mistake as you mentioned?" The woman standing next to Zhai Yufei, who looked like a strong woman, said: "Yufei is a simple person who speaks her mind. I believe this young lady will not blame Yufei."
Cheng Yuesheng smiled at her without saying anything.
At this time, Qin Heque said: "Shengsheng of course brought a gift."
He looked at the mother and daughter coldly and continued, "Shengsheng is a member of the Qin family. Our Qin family's gift is her gift."
Cheng Yuesheng smiled at him and took his arm affectionately. This seemed like a protest to Zhai Yufei, and she almost had a fit of anger on the spot.
"Aunt Zhai, Zhai Yufei isn't young anymore, but she hasn't improved at all. She's so outspoken." Song Yubai's words were slightly sarcastic, but his expression was sincere. "Children of seven or eight years old speak their minds, and others just think their outspokenness is cute. But Zhai Yufei is still so outspoken, and doesn't consider the occasion. She just makes people think she has no manners."
Cheng Yuesheng was shocked when he heard this. It was Song Yubai who was the one who was most critical of others. No matter when, he could always hit people in the lungs.
Qin Heque didn't have any special reaction. He seemed to be used to Song Yubai's ruthless attacks.
"Song Yubai, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhai Yufei said angrily, staring at Song Yubai viciously.
"Yufei!" Zhai Yufei's mother immediately pulled her back and said gently, "Xiao Song speaks without restraint. This isn't the first time you've known this. Don't get angry with him."
Song Yubai rolled his eyes and cursed the green tea mother and daughter in his heart for mocking him in a roundabout way.
Song Yubai admitted that he was indeed outspoken, but many times his outspokenness was intentional.
"Yeah, Zhai Yufei is outspoken and I am not restrained. No wonder we dislike each other." Song Yubai had an expression of "I see."
Zhai Yufei was so angry that she was shaking. If it wasn't for her grandfather's birthday party, she would have rushed up and scratched Song Yubai's face.
Now she could only suppress her anger and find a way to deal with him later.
"Aunt, it's normal for Sister Yufei to speak rudely. Why do you have to pick on Young Master Song? Don't you think so, brother?" Zhai Rui, who had been watching them talk silently before, suddenly spoke up and started to criticize his cousin.
"Xiao Rui is right." The young boy grinned. "Aunt, Sister Yufei is not young anymore. You should stop doting on her. Be careful not to spoil her. It doesn't matter what she says at home, but she can easily offend people outside."
Cheng Yuesheng looked at the brother and sister with great interest. He didn't expect them to be so bold as to lecture their elders directly.
"Alright!" Old Master Zhai said unhappily, "Stop talking!"
"Grandpa, we didn't say anything. We were telling the truth." Zhai Ruisa finished acting coquettishly towards Old Man Zhai and continued, "This sister is so beautiful. So you are Mr. Qin's girlfriend! But why don't I seem to have seen you before?"
Cheng Yuesheng didn't expect that she would ask him this, and he couldn't figure out her intention.
"My health is not very good and I rarely participate in these activities. Besides, our two families don't have much in common, so it's normal that you haven't met me." Cheng Yuesheng said.
"Then Sister Cheng, please come out more often in the future. I like you very much!" Zhai Rui said with a smile, "Sister Cheng is beautiful and polite. It must be very comfortable to get along with Sister Cheng. There will be a salon in a few days. Sister Cheng, do you want to come and play?"
Cheng Yuesheng finally understood that they wanted to use her to drag down Zhai Yufei, but she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Zhai sisters.
"Zhai Rui, what do you mean!" Zhai Yufei glared at Cheng Yuesheng. Zhai Rui actually said in a sarcastic tone that she was not as good as Cheng Yuesheng.
She particularly disliked Cheng Yuesheng when she saw her weak appearance, and she hated her even more after she learned that she was Qin Heque's girlfriend. Moreover, Qin Heque always protected her, and Zhai Yufei's jealousy of her reached its peak.
Cheng Yuesheng really felt that Zhai Yufei was not very smart. Zhai Rui made indirect accusations against her, but in the end she actually blamed herself. It was really outrageous.
She rejected Zhai Rui's proposal: "I'm not feeling well. The doctor told me to stay calm and not overthink things. I probably won't be able to go to the salon Miss Zhai mentioned."
"The atmosphere in the salon is very relaxed. Sister Cheng, you can give it a try. Don't reject it so quickly."
"Shengsheng's health is not good. She is not suitable to go to places where there are so many people." Qin Heque looked at her coldly.
Qin Heque's cold gaze made her heart tremble, and Zhai Rui did not insist on the invitation.
"Okay, now that we've said hello, we won't disturb your family from having a meal. We'll go back first and talk later!" said Mr. Zhai, and then he led the group back to his seat.
"Running away just like that, how boring." Song Yubai smacked his lips, actually feeling a little regretful.
"I think none of Old Man Zhai's family is good except Zhai Xuan," said Old Master Qin.
