Chapter Ninety-Six: A Not-so-Pleasant Feast

Jiang Xiangyang rarely has been able to celebrate his birthday at home since his debut, this year he rarely celebrated a birthday at home, on his birthday on August 20th, Li Fu, who has never been very lively, invited many relatives and friends to hold a big birthday banquet for Jiang Xiangyang.

Although Wen Xun and Jiang Xiangyang are now in a relationship, many old people in City C are still relatively traditional, boyfriends and girlfriends are not counted, and they can get close to each other at such a banquet only when they are married.

What's more, in the eyes of many elders, Wen Xun, who is still studying, is still a "little doll".

So on this day, Wen Xun could only sit at the same table with his parents and other elders, looking at Jiang Xiangyang from a distance, and he couldn't get close if he wanted to. Except for Jiang Xiangyang who came to toast the elders at her table, she didn't say anything else to him the whole time.

Thinking that Jiang Xiangyang would be leaving tomorrow, Wen Xun was inevitably in a bad mood, and he didn't want to waste time with him at all. But today is Jiang Xiangyang's birthday after all, and she doesn't want to spoil anyone's happiness - especially Jiang Xiangyang's, so she tries not to let herself cry and lose her face, and every time Jiang Xiangyang's eyes are cast at her, she will return him a bright smile. It's just that his gaze has been cast so many times that her face is almost stiff with laughter.

But what she didn't know was that even if she didn't smile stiffly, no matter how well she performed, Jiang Xiangyang could see that she was unhappy. And as the birthday star himself, he is not very happy, than to feast on relatives and friends he doesn't even know much in such a big way, he wants to sit with his mother and Wen Xun's family and simply have a meal and talk. But he can also understand his mother's thoughts, he has been away from home for so long since his debut, and it is rare to come back on such an important day as his birthday, and his mother will inevitably not know how to express happiness.

In the final analysis, Li Fu did this to make Jiang Xiangyang feel that he was valued. She just didn't know that Jiang Xiangyang often wanted to see her on such occasions, and she had already formed an instinctive rejection.

It's not her fault, it's just some minor problems caused by information asymmetry.

Of course, Jiang Xiangyang will not act reluctantly, and of course he will not make his mother sad. Just like Wen Xun, he didn't want to sweep anyone's interest.

Jiang Xiangyang's thoughts were interrupted by a noisy voice. He took the wine from his uncle, whose name he couldn't name, and after drinking it down, he smiled without any flaws.

The dazzling light of the chandelier filled the next glass with the wine, and Jiang Xiangyang picked up the wine glass again, a little dizzy. After greeting unfamiliar people, he subconsciously went to the crowd to look for Wen Xun, but Wen Xun stopped looking at him.

He knew that he should have performed too well, so Wen Xun thought that he was enjoying such an occasion, so he felt uncomfortable.

He didn't know whether he should be happy that his acting skills had improved, or whether he should worry about how to explain his true mood to Wen Xun.

After the noisy banquet was finally over, Wen Boyong and Jin Mei, as close friends to Li Fu, stayed to help her say goodbye to the other people who came to the banquet, and by the way, they helped the staff clean up the venue together. Jin Mei's body has not fully recovered and she can't do heavy work, so Wen Xun, who stayed with her parents, naturally has to bear the workload that her mother can't do.

She took a rag and wiped the table, but her eyes looked at Jiang Xiangyang, who was wearing a birthday hat and a girl's greeting at the door.

The girl Wen Xun who was talking to him knew that the daughter of a friend of Li Fu's family, named Liang Baozhen, was three years younger than Jiang Xiangyang, that is, one year younger than Wen Xun.

Wen Xun and Liang Baozhen also met a few times when they were young, but Jiang Xiangyang didn't seem to like Liang Baozhen's princess-sick personality very much, so he didn't play with her much later, so Wen Xun naturally never saw her again.

Later, everyone grew into adults, and after Jiang Xiangyang's debut, Liang Baozhen somehow claimed that he had become his fan. In the past few years, she has always liked Jiang Xiangyang, and she has always wanted to see Jiang Xiangyang through the relationship between her mother and Li Fu, but Jiang Xiangyang has been hiding for various reasons, so they have hardly talked to each other.

Until today's Jiang Xiangyang's birthday banquet, Liang Baozhen came together because of her mother's relationship, she talked endlessly from the moment she saw Jiang Xiangyang, and now that the banquet is over, she can be more unscrupulous.

Wen Xun pursed his lips, and wiped the table with his hand a little harder.

When he raised his head to look in the direction of Jiang Xiangyang and Liang Baozhen, Wen Xun found that the birthday hat that Jiang Xiangyang was wearing on his head ran to Liang Baozhen's head.

- Good guy, is it Jiang Xiangyang's birthday or her birthday, I really don't treat myself as an outsider!

- If you really don't think you're an outsider, don't stand there, come and wipe the table with me!

Wen Xun felt that his blood pressure was soaring, so he quickly changed places to clean up and stopped looking at them.

Wen Xun's family was almost the last to leave the banquet, and when Wen Xun went out of the door, Wen Xun deliberately walked between Wen Boyong and Jin Mei, Jiang Xiangyang just wanted to say a few words to Wen Xun, but was stopped by Jin Mei, who was not so sensitive, and Wen Xun took the opportunity to drag his father to the car parked outside the door.

Jin Mei was still a little angry when she found out that Wen Xun and Wen Boyong didn't wait for her, and chased after them while muttering that they had no conscience, leaving Jiang Xiangyang speechless in place.

It wasn't too late, but the days were getting thinner and darker.

Wen Xun sat in the back seat of his father's car, turned his head to look at the sky, and saw that the back door that was close to her was suddenly opened, Jiang Xiangyang pushed her in unceremoniously, and then squeezed into the car.

After Wen Xun reacted, Jiang Xiangyang had already sat down next to her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"My mother wants to go with my uncle and them, and the car can't sit down, can't I rub the car?" Jiang Xiangyang was right.

"Hmph, there are so many cars today, each of them is your relatives and friends, why don't you rub their cars and rub our little broken car?" Wen Xun was still angry, so he naturally wanted to be angry with him.

It's just that Wen Boyong, who was originally going to fire, heard Wen Xun say that his car was a small broken car, and he was not very happy, he turned his head and said to Wen Xun aggrievedly, "Xiao Xun, although Dad's car is not very expensive, it is not broken." ”

Jin Mei didn't know that Wen Xun was having trouble with Jiang Xiangyang, so she turned back from the co-pilot and said, "Which car do you want to take for Yangyang's birthday today, what's the matter with you kid?" After finishing speaking, she turned around and said to Wen Boyong, "Let's drive, let's drive." ”

- What kind of experience is it like for your parents to scare yourself without waiting for your boyfriend to speak?

Wen Xun only felt that she was so angry that she was about to smoke, and she opened a small crack in the window near her, so that she wouldn't be too hot for a while, and she would quarrel directly with Jiang Xiangyang in the car.

Although Wen Boyong and Jin Mei don't understand, Jiang Xiangyang still understands. It's just that no matter how much he gives Wen Xun a look, Wen Xun ignores him, the more he moves next to Wen Xun, the more Wen Xun moves away from him. The space in the car was so large that Jiang Xiangyang felt that Wen Xun was so squeezed by him that it was almost integrated with the car door.

...... Even if he didn't mean to squeeze her.

Wen Boyong drove the car to the door of Jiang Xiangyang's house first, Jiang Xiangyang had to say "thank you, uncle and aunt" and got out of the car, watching the car carrying Wen Xun gradually drift away.
