Chapter 2 There is a gift to take
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it was surprisingly cold, Zhan Qingyi was afraid of the cold since he was a child, wore a thick down jacket, walked outside and was blown by the cold wind, and still felt cold all over, so he had to hug himself tightly and shiver incessantly. While walking on the road, she pondered one thing, as the saying goes, "Laqi Laba, frozen to death is called a flower", which is too reasonable.
Sometimes she is disturbed by the current life, she will go out for a walk alone, look at the men and women around her, old and young, handsome and ugly, and then look at how they are in a hurry to make a living, look at the vicissitudes of the faces of the old people who pick up garbage on the road, her mood will calm down, in fact, she is living a good life, at least she has no worries about food and clothing, and she can do what she wants, what are you still worried about?
Phoenix Garden is not in the downtown area, and it is an old house from decades ago, so most of the people who live around here are elderly, or people whose living conditions are not very good, Zhan Qingyi has come and gone many times, coupled with her outstanding appearance and cold temperament, so that many people remember her once, and when they saw her coming, they greeted her with a smile, and she also responded one by one, smiling very cleanly.
Li Ziyang, who was waiting for her at the door of the building, was shocked by her smile, and his mood became more and more depressed: Qingyi's attitude towards him is sometimes not as kind as to these strangers!" "He looks at the past and tries to behave appropriately and naturally.
Zhan Qingyi let out an "um" sound, put his hand to his mouth and sighed, "I'm freezing to death! It's so cold outside, are you standing here blowing the wind?"
"I don't have a conscience, it's not to wait for you. Li Ziyang glanced at her "complainingly", took her hand and walked home, "Come on, Dad has been waiting for you for a long time." "The old man Li has a big birthday, and he is waiting for Zhan Qingyi, and he specially sent his son out to wait stupidly, he is really enough.
Zhan Qingyi smiled, and he took his hand in, and sure enough, he saw Li Zhenting sitting in a wheelchair near the door, looking out of the door, looking expectant, like a child. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, how could she be so virtuous, the old man paid so much attention, "Happy birthday, old man." She secretly scolded herself for damning it, she really shouldn't have listened to Ziyang's words, she didn't bring any gifts, how rude.
In fact, Li Zhenting smiled at the first sight of her, and his kind face was full of joy, "I'll be happy when you come, come!" He beckoned to Zhan Qingyi, picked up the box on his knee and handed it over, "This is a gift from me, and I don't know what you like, Ziyang said this is good, you can see if it is agreeable." ”
"Gah?!" Zhan Qingyi was dumbfounded, "Old man, is it the other way around?" "It's the old man's birthday, and it's not her birthday, she didn't bring a gift to the old man, how can she take someone else's gift in turn, what?"
Li Zhenting smiled, "Silly boy, what is the opposite, I can just be happy, take it." ”
Zhan Qingyi still didn't think it was suitable, and turned his head to look at Li Ziyang.
"Elder give, don't give up, take it, don't embarrass Dad. Li Ziyang smiled at her, obviously knowing that the old man was going to give her a gift.
Zhan Qingyi thought about it and took it very happily, "Then I'm welcome! Look at what!" Seeing her enthusiastic appearance, she was really looking forward to it, quickly unpacked the package, carefully opened the lid of the box, and then exclaimed, "So beautiful?!" It turned out to be a pair of white gold inlaid amethyst keychains, looking at the style and size, it is undoubtedly worn by a couple, although this pair of keychains is not precious to the extreme, but the shape is exquisite and chic and unassuming, which is indeed very in line with Zhan Qingyi's temperament.
"You can just like it," the smile on Li Zhenting's face deepened, as if he was willing to see Zhan Qingyi's happy appearance, "Come on, let's go in." ”
Zhan Qingyi nodded, put the box away and put it in his coat pocket, and pushed Li Zhenting inside, while asking, "Old man, the men's one in this pair of keychains is for the person I like, right?"
"As you please," Li Zhenting smiled, "I don't understand the affairs of you young people, you just know who to give it to." ”
Zhan Qingyi smiled, noncommittal, she only cared about talking to the old man, and forgot to say hello to Li Ziyang.
Although it is a family banquet, because Li Zhenting's reputation in the local area is very good, there are not a few people and relatives of the Li family, and there are still many people here today, including some employees of the headquarters and brothers who are with Li Zhenting, naturally none of them are left behind.
Because of the stiffness between her and Tan Yinuo, Zhan Qingyi has not met him during this time, nor has she exchanged phone calls, as long as she thinks that he is Qin Yaxin's son and her half-brother, she will inevitably hate him, hate him for snatching the maternal love that should belong to her and Qingbo, of course it is impossible to give him a good face!
But on a day like today, all three members of the Tan family are here, Tan Yinuo is so thin that he can't talk, and he is also very unenergetic, mechanically following his parents' steps, occasionally saying hello to people, and he is also absent-minded, Qin Yaxin is angry and helpless.
Zhan Qingyi only glanced at them, and immediately looked away, trying to find an inconspicuous corner and avoid them. But Tan Yinuo's eyes were so good, when he saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and despite his mother's obstruction, he ran over from the crowd, "Qingyi?!"
Can't hide. Zhan Qingyi frowned secretly, it was not good to have an attack on an occasion like today, so he had to ask patiently, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Tan looking for me?"
"Qingyi, are you really so ruthless---"
"I've never had a love for you, isn't it ridiculous to say anything endlessly?" Zhan Qingyi interrupted him unceremoniously, and watched his face turn from blue to white and then to red with a vengeful smile, feeling very happy.
Tan Yinuo stared at her face in a daze, as if he was about to explode at any time, "Qingyi, how can you be such a woman---"
"I was originally such a person, now can you see my true face?" Zhan Qingyi raised her chin, and there was already anger in her eyes, "So, it's not suitable for me to be with you, I can't like you at all, you don't bother me in the future, be your mother's baby son!" Actually, even if she wants to vent her anger, the last sentence really shouldn't be said.
After all, Tan Yinuo had a good impression of her at the beginning, and he showed her sincerity, just because she still didn't laugh at him after knowing about the Tan family. But now it's good, her words made Tan Yinuo heartbroken, and he was even more desperate: it turned out that no one in this world really understood him and liked him, and he was still looked down upon by everyone!
"You, you ---" Tan Yinuo trembled his lips, tears about to flow down, "Hello ---"
"Today is the old man's birthday banquet, I don't want to cause trouble, you stay away from me," Zhan Qingyi turned around coldly, "I made it clear to you, and I made it clear to your mother, don't waste time on me, it's useless." ”
Tan Yinuo looked at her stubborn back, his eyes slowly became desperate, and finally turned around and ran out. Originally, I thought that Qingyi must have been deceived or oppressed by his mother, so he wanted to break up with him, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, Qingyi has been playing with his feelings, he is too stupid, too stupid, and delusional to be with her!
Listening to his chaotic footsteps, Zhan Qingyi's clenched teeth slowly loosened, and his jaws were a little sore. Fool, stupid, aside from your mother's obstruction, you are my real brother at all, how can we be together?
