Chapter 262: One Year
Zhong Jian's birthday is approaching, Zhong Qiaoyun came back from a business trip, returned to Zhong's house to report the situation to the Zhong family, and talked about holding a birthday banquet.
"Don't make it too big, just have a meal with the family. Zhong Jian looked at Zhong Zhiqi, "Zhiqi just finished the wedding, and all the friends who should have seen him have seen him." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun immediately understood what Zhong Jian meant, "I know, then put it in the courtyard and invite fewer guests." ”
"Well," Zhong Jian nodded, "I won't accept any gifts this year, you all remember." ”
"Grandpa, we won't buy gifts. Zhong Zhiqi answered.
"My grandfather doesn't lack anything, and the family is safe. Zhong Jian said again.
Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Song Shiyun and smiled, "Grandpa doesn't want the gifts to be bought with money, I hope the family can be more lively." ”
Song Shiyun turned her head to look at Zhong Zhiqi, and Zhong Zhiqi said: "The family just finished a happy event, isn't there more poetry." ”
"Will there be too many happy events?" Zhong Qiaoyun immediately asked rhetorically, and asked Zhong Jian after speaking, "Dad, right?"
Zhong Jian smiled, "As long as you're all right." The birthday matter is Jane, and Zhiyan is also back, that is, the family has a reunion dinner. ”
When it was time, Zhong Jian went upstairs to rest, and Zhong Qiaoyun, Zhong Zhiqi and Song Shiyun left together. Zhong Qiaoyun asked Song Shiyun to get in the car first, leaving Zhong Zhiqi.
"You heard it just now, my grandfather's every sentence is a family, and he can't do without Zhong Zhiyan. Zhong Qiaoyun said.
"So what? Zhong Zhiyan didn't dare to show his face after he came back, like a rat crossing the street. Zhong Zhiqi said disapprehantly.
"How about it?" Zhong Qiaoyun glared at Zhong Zhiqi, "When Grandpa completely falls to Zhong Zhiyan, you won't have time to cry." ”
"Then what should I do?" Zhong Zhiqi couldn't convince Zhong Qiaoyun, so he simply followed her words.
Zhong Qiaoyun glanced at Song Shiyun in the car, "After this birthday, my grandfather will be eighty, and the happy event of Tianding in the family must be the happiest." ”
Facing Zhong Qiaoyun, Zhong Zhiqi dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to say: "I won't use Shiyun as a fertility tool." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun laughed angrily, "Aren't you known as true love? Don't be so unconfident and lean on your tools. ”
Zhong Zhiqi lowered his head and didn't answer, Zhong Qiaoyun shook his head and sighed and left.
After getting into the car, Song Shiyun asked Zhong Zhiqi, "What did mom say?"
Zhong Zhiqi pretended to be nothing, "It's just about preparing for my grandfather's birthday, my mother is too nervous." ”
Zhong Jian called Zhong Zhiyan to tell him about the birthday banquet, and Zhong Zhiyan hung up the phone and was worried. In the middle of the night, Tang Qin woke up and didn't see Zhong Zhiyan, she got up and saw Zhong Zhiyan smoking on the balcony again. Tang Qin originally wanted to go back to the bedroom, but he was really not at ease, so he still walked to the balcony.
"Why can't you sleep again?" Tang Qin asked as he hugged Zhong Zhiyan from behind.
Zhong Zhiyan spat out a puff of smoke rings, "Grandpa called me, he has a birthday in two days, let me go back to dinner." ”
"Oh," Tang Qin replied sullenly and walked over to him, "Then go back." ”
Zhong Zhiyan looked at Tang Qin silently, and she saw hesitation and embarrassment in her eyes when she looked at him.
"I'm waiting for you outside like last time. Tang Qin thought that Zhong Zhiyan was afraid of suddenly falling ill.
Zhong Zhiyan lowered his eyes and sighed, "My grandfather said to take you with me." ”
Tang Qin's eyes gradually became shocked, Zhong Jian didn't allow it, but now he said that letting them appear together made the situation complicated.
"I'll ...... It's not suitable, right?" said Tang Qin. When they appear in public, the old story of her and Zhong Zhiqi will be brought up again, and it will be a lot of gossip.
Zhong Zhiyan was hesitating, he didn't stick to the end during the wedding, and he became less and less confident to deal with such a situation alone.
"Then I'll make an excuse and push it. Zhong Zhiyan said.
Zhong Jian's birthday banquet, Zhong Zhiyan will attract more attention if he does not appear, Tang Qin can't care about anything else, makes up his mind, and says, "I'll go with you." ”
On the day of the birthday banquet, Tang Qin dressed up and followed Zhong Zhiyan out. She saw Zhong Zhiyan holding a box and asked, "Is it a birthday gift?"
"Well, the traditional dim sum in my hometown is the style of Shou Tao. Zhong Zhiyan replied.
Tang Qin frowned, and Zhong Zhiyan immediately asked, "Feel shabby?"
Tang Qin smirked, "It's not shabby, it's too shabby." ”
Zhong Zhiyan smiled, "My grandfather should have all the extravagant things to give, so I will show my heart." ”
Song Linbo arrived at Zhong's house early and went to greet Zhong Qiaoyun first, Zhong Qiaoyun responded a few words and saw Zhong Jian come down from upstairs and walked over. Song Linbo followed closely.
"Dad. Zhong Qiaoyun helped Zhong Jian.
"Zhong Lao. Song Linbo immediately came up to speak.
"Here we are. Zhong Jian replied, and then walked to the living room.
Song Linbo followed aside, and said, "Elder Zhong, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
Zhong Jian smiled, "These blessings, longevity, just let it be, my biggest wish now is that the family is safe and sound, and the juniors are smooth and prosperous." ”
"Yes, yes, Zhiqi and Shiyun will definitely go well if they listen to you. Song Linbo answered.
Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Song Linbo and didn't speak.
"Zhong Lao, I know you like calligraphy and painting, I found a painting of Baiyang Mountain people. ”
Zhong Jian's eyes lit up, Song Linbo was overjoyed, and immediately spread the scroll on the table. Zhong Jian lowered his head slightly and looked at the painting carefully.
"This picture of three chickens is painted with three roosters, with a cockscomb on the head of the chicken, and a cockscomb flower next to it, which means that the official is an official. You see, there is also an inscription by Mr. Yang Shoujing here, which is undoubtedly true. This is what I asked my friends in the antique world to find for a long time. ”
Zhong Jian looked at it for a while, raised his head, and smiled at Song Linbo, "In-laws, you have a heart, take a seat first." ”
Song Linbo was excited when he saw that Zhong Jian liked this painting, and left with a smile.
As soon as Song Linbo left, Zhong Jian's smile disappeared, and he looked at Zhong Qiaoyun, "The people of Baiyang Mountain have never painted this kind of painting, I don't know where he found it." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun was embarrassed, and Zhong Jian said again: "I don't think he dares to lie to me knowing that it is fake, for fear that he will be deceived." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun was angry and funny in his heart, Song Linbo wanted to pat himself on the back, but instead showed his feet. Zhong Jian's words are a warning that Song Libo's previous indiscriminate investment not only lost all his money, but also owed a lot of debt.
"I know, Dad, I'll watch Shiyun keep her from getting too close. Zhong Qiaoyun had no choice but to deal with the past.
At this time, Zhong Zhiyan and Tang Qin walked up the stairs, and Zhong Qiaoyun saw it through the floor-to-ceiling window, and his face changed.
"Why did Zhiyan bring Tang Qin here, when, such a mess. Zhong Qiaoyun frowned and said.
Zhong Jian's face was as usual, "I asked him to bring it." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun opened his mouth slightly in shock, "This ...... Others gossip, two brothers...... Alas!"
"Zhiyan likes it. Zhong Jian said.
"You're too used to him, too. Zhong Qiaoyun rushed out.
Zhong Jian's cold gaze swept towards Zhong Qiaoyun, Zhong Qiaoyun was startled and suppressed his anger, "I'm also for his good, I'm afraid that he will be gossiped about." ”
Zhong Jian smiled, "Don't worry about young people's affairs, you see that you have been in charge of Zhiqi for so many years, and you still have to follow his wishes." ”
Zhong Qiaoyun was so blocked that he had nothing to say, and turned around and went to the courtyard to greet the guests.
Zhong Zhiyan took Tang Qin to see Zhong Jian, Zhong Jian left Zhong Zhiyan behind, and Tang Qin sat alone. Someone next to him came to open a chair, Tang Qin thought it was Zhong Zhiyan coming, so he naturally turned his gaze.
"Why do you have such an expression when you see me?" asked Song Sixian with a smile.
Tang Qin knew that his face was stiff, so he hurriedly adjusted, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Song Sixian sneered, "Why do you have the courage to come here? You didn't show up at the last wedding, I thought you figured it out, why are you confused now?"
"Zhong Lao asked me to come. Tang Qin replied without changing his face.
"Who are you fooling? The Zhong family wants to save face so much, will they let you come?" Song Sixian asked deliberately.
Tang Qin touched his hair, calmed down for a moment, and turned to smile at Song Sixian, "I came in with Zhong Zhiyan." ”
Song Sixian saw that Tang Qin's smile was simply provoking him, and immediately frowned, "Don't be embarrassed." ”
"You have to give this face, and you have to give it if you don't give it. Tang Qin still smiled, but his eyes were cold, "The relationship between me and Zhong Zhiyan is different from Zhong Zhiqi, do you want to give it a try and see what Zhong Zhiyan's attitude is towards me?"
Song Sixian's expression stiffened, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, "Since you said so, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just Zhong Zhiqi's brother-in-law, and I can't control Zhong Zhiyan." We have written off previous misunderstandings. ”
Song Sixian smiled and stretched out his hand, Tang Qin took a look and chose to ignore it. Song Sixian smiled again, withdrew his hand, stood up and sat back at his table. Tang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around again, someone was already filming her with a mobile phone, she pretended not to care and took out her mobile phone and looked down.
The guests all arrived, Zhong Jian walked out, Zhong Zhiyan and Zhong Zhiqi were on the left and right. He walked to the main table, first stood and said a few words to the guests, then the peach cake was pushed out, and Zhong Jian hammered the candle and the table began. Zhong Jian sat down, and the table was full of family members.
Zhong Jian looked around and said, "What I just said was not polite, now I just hope that you are safe and smooth." ”
"Dad," Zhong Qiaoyun said with a smile, "Your health is our blessing." ”
Zhong Zhiyan only sat for a while and then took Tang Qin away. Zhong Qiaoyun looked at their backs as they left in a hurry, and said angrily, "It's too unusual. ”
"Let them go. Zhong Jian immediately maintained Zhong Zhiyan.
Zhong Qiaoyun looked at Zhong Jian and could only be silent.
Out of Zhong's house, Tang Qin grabbed Zhong Zhiyan, who was striding forward, and asked, "Uncomfortable?"
Tang Qin looked at Zhong Zhiyan nervously, Zhong Zhiyan smiled, "No, it's too embarrassing there, I'm afraid you will be uncomfortable to sit on." ”
Tang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Zhong Zhiyan to think about himself.
"I don't care. Tang Qin said.
"I care. Zhong Zhiyan pulled Tang Qin, "Let's go." ”
Zhong Zhiyan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Tang Qin was lying on the sofa looking at his mobile phone, he walked over and saw that Tang Qin hadn't even changed his clothes.
"Look at what? so seriously. Zhong Zhiyan asked.
"Someone filmed me and posted it on the Internet, saying that I didn't succeed in marrying into a wealthy family last time and made a comeback. We also posted our messages. Tang Qin replied.
Tang Qin said casually, Zhong Zhiyan heard it harshly, he took Tang Qin's mobile phone, "Don't look at these messy black materials." ”
"Hey, hey......" Tang Qin grabbed his phone back, "It's very good-looking." ”
"You ......," Zhong Zhiyan sighed helplessly.
"The Internet has memories, the first time you appeared in the Zhong family was Zhong Lao's birthday banquet, and today is exactly one year. Tang Qin said with a smile.
Zhong Zhiyan thought of this, and his expression was a little complicated.
Tang Qin continued to look at his phone, "Life is too rushed, although some people deliberately write blindly, looking at pictures and telling stories, but it seems that they are also helping me make records." ”
Recording how difficult it was to go this way, Tang Qin looked at it and smiled, and looked at Zhong Zhiyan's helpless eyes, she said, "It's really good-looking." ”
"Fool. Zhong Zhiyan put Tang Qin's mobile phone on the coffee table and picked her up from the sofa.
Tang Qin obediently put his arms around Zhong Zhiyan's neck and leaned on his shoulder. The two looked at each other, and small sparks ignited in their hearts. Tang Qin first pretended to be shy and buried his face in Zhong Zhiyan's neck socket, and Zhong Zhiyan was about to go to the bedroom at the beginning.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening, Tang Qi came in with his suitcase, and when he saw this scene, he yelled, "Can you do these things in the room, why do you have to be in the living room." ”
"What's wrong?" Ah Wan followed in a panic, and saw Tang Qin and Zhong Zhiyan covering their mouths and laughing.
Zhong Zhiyan wanted to let Tang Qin go, but Tang Qin hugged him tighter, "Just, no." ”
Tang Qi clenched his fists and walked across the living room to the balcony. Tang Qin let go of Zhong Zhiyan, and Zhong Zhiyan slowly put her down.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Tang Qin asked as he walked towards Awan.
"Tang Qi didn't worry about coming back to see, I didn't worry about him coming over alone. Ah Wan replied with a smile, "Sister Tang Qin, I brought you something." ”
"What?" Tang Qin asked.
Awan bent down to open the suitcase, "The specialties are all made by the family." ”
Tang Qin walked over and took a look, gasping, the suitcase was full of these.
Awan dragged the suitcase into the kitchen and stuffed the contents of the suitcase inside.
"It's too much. Tang Qin couldn't help but say.
"The amount of the family is not much," Ah Wan said as he moved his hands, "You are two people living now, prepare a little more." ”
Tang Qin couldn't hold back a smile, "What nonsense did Tang Qi talk to you again?"
"I didn't say anything, I just said to bring more of them. ”
Tang Qin suddenly thought of something, "You guys came here, what about the video?"
Speaking of this, Awan smiled, "Sister, you don't know yet, many people in the village have started to shoot videos and signed them in our company, and now my aunt's eldest sister eating video has surpassed my popularity." Everyone started selling, and all I brought with me were their products. ”
"Then I'll take a look. ”
Tang Qin became curious, and Ah Wan took out her mobile phone and clicked on the video for her.
"The number of fans and the number of broadcasts are more than that of a rookie actor. Tang Qin sighed.
Zhong Zhiyan went to the balcony to find Tang Qi, and he took out his cigarette case and handed Tang Qi cigarettes.
"No smoking. Tang Qi stared at his mobile phone and rejected Zhong Zhiyan.
Zhong Zhiyan lit one himself, and Tang Qi glanced at it, "Smoking is bad for your health." ”
Zhong Zhiyan shook the cigarette case in his hand, "It says it." ”
Tang Qi put down his phone, "I'm writing my sister's story on the Internet again." ”
Zhong Zhiyan lowered his head and spit out smoke rings, "Zhong Zhiqi is already married, and the heat won't last long." ”
"What are you going to do with my sister? How to solve the problems at home, do you have a solution? What will you do in the future?"
Tang Qi asked a series of questions, but before Zhong Zhiyan could react, he continued: "Think about these things slowly in the future, how is your body?"
Zhong Zhiyan smiled bitterly, "You know I'm sick?"
Tang Qi turned his head and sighed, "The most important thing now is to cure your illness." ”
Zhong Zhiyan bowed his head and was silent.
Tang Qi held Zhong Zhiyan's shoulder, his eyes were sincere, "Tang Qin is crazy and stupid, what she believes is not turning." In other words...... She won't let you go, and you have to be healthy to withstand such torture. ”
Zhong Zhiyan laughed, choked on the smoke, and couldn't help coughing.
Tang Qi looked at him sympathetically and said, "Take care." ”
