White Flower is a stubborn Taurus, and her birthday is in mid-April.

So in the second year of her journey to the Republic of China, she ushered in the first "birthday of the Republic of China" in her life.

Coincidentally, this Miss Baihuating in the Republic of China era not only had the same face, nose and mouth as her, but was also born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as her! He died on the same day, the same month, and the same year, right?

A few days ago, he specially bought a 300-square-meter open-air lawn in the eastern district to prepare for a banquet to imitate Western-style entertainment culture on Hua Ting's birthday, and its main purpose is to use this dinner to gather powerful people from all walks of life in Shanghai and high-ranking officials and nobles who were born in Houmen, so as to buy people's hearts and connections at one time, so this birthday banquet of Huating is worthy of a good opportunity.

This move is really his style of Bai Qihong.

The birthday was held outdoors, and the scene was gorgeous and impressive after Bai Qihong's careful design. The basic style of the lawn banquet is mainly Western-style, and the dining table is decorated with simple fabrics, sprinkled with pink and purple rose petals; Waiters in a row, dressed in vests, shirts, and black bow ties, served food in an orderly manner, and sorted and prepared the food in the form of a buffet, labeled with Chinese and English, and the guests present could choose to mix according to their tastes...... Such a unique and foreign way of hospitality not only makes the atmosphere more casual and natural, but also does not have the sense of social depression brought by traditional dinners in the past.

I have to admit that Bai Qihong is overly attentive at this point.

If it is placed in today's society, it may be a master of flirting with girls.

Hua Ting was forced to put on a lady-style lace dress and stood in the center of the crowd to play the role of the well-behaved and lovely daughter of the Bai family.

Chen Shu followed Cai Bingrong's side all the way to socialize.

He rarely wears suits, and today's simple suit matching makes him exude a complex and elegant atmosphere, he is like a mixture of various temperaments, standing in the scene of those suits and skirts, especially highlighting the ethereal and handsome. The eyes under the two sword eyebrows were slightly curved with a smile, and he actually blinked from her, her pupils were smart, and she was as attractive as crystal beads.

"Sister Hua, what are you looking at?" Jian Yi bent down slightly and asked knowingly in her ear.

"Look at the handsome guy." Unabashedly at heart.

"Tut-tut......"

"Jian Yi!" A crisp female voice burst in.

Both of them were slightly stunned, it turned out to be Chen Jingzhi, the daughter of Chen Huanlin, who had just heard someone introduce her, saying that she had just returned to China from spring break, and she had only turned 18 years old. It's just that Hua Tingting always feels that something is not quite right, as long as Chen Jingzhi looks at her, although the corners of his mouth are smiling, there is a trace of hostility in his eyes.

I thought that Jian Yi would call her Sister Jing affectionately, but this kid just said hello casually: "Jingzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Yes, I may stay for two more months when I return to China this time, so take me to play more when you have time." Chen Jingzhi's face was full of bright smiles, but when his eyes swept over the indifferent face opposite, his tone suddenly dropped, "Sister Bai, happy birthday." ”

Lynn?

Jian Yi laughed out loud before her, "Sister Hua, you also had a time when you were a sister." ”

Seeing Jian Yi's familiar look, Chen Jingzhi was even more unhappy, "Do you have time at night, Jian Yi?" I haven't watched a movie in a long time, take me to the movies at night, right? ”

Chen Jingzhi really matched Jane, watching movies, drinking tea, eating foreign food, lace skirts and small leather bags, and the two of them belonged to the same people who admired foreign people, and the pace of life could be said to be completely consistent; Hua Ting hoped that this little sister of Chen Jingzhi could make some effort to snatch Jian Yi over, so that she could not only save a lot of time and energy, but also be robbed of her marriage justifiably.

"Watching a movie?" Jian also turned her head to ask Hua Ting's opinion, "Do you want to watch the movie Sister Hua?" Maybe it's a little boring, right? ”

Hua Ting rolled her eyes, and just wanted to say, Chen Jingzhi's appointment to watch a movie is my business?

Chen Jingzhi also looked like he was concerned about her, and pouted unhappily, "Jian Yi, let's go and see." ”

"But I ......"

"Jian Yi, Jing Zhi has just returned to China, you should take her to have a good time." Hua Ting couldn't wait to push him to Chen Jingzhi's side.

"But Sister Flower......"

"Come and listen." Bai Qihong just called her, saying that he wanted to take her to say hello to a few uncles and aunts.

Hua Ting couldn't wait to take two glasses of champagne from the waiter's hand and went with Bai Qihong.

I have to say that Bai Qihong's connections in Shanghai are simply more than her classmates in the entire third year of high school at that time, and the quality is not bad, all of them are upper-class people from all walks of life in Shanghai, either rich businessmen or high-ranking cadres, and there is no shortage of Japanese businessmen and military officers; They toasted to each other with polite smiles, and Hua Ting had to follow Bai Qihong's mechanical entertainment, watching this false smile constantly passing in front of her, she only felt a tiredness in her heart.

No wonder Bai Qihong has a constant dinner, presumably dealing with such occasions is already commonplace for him.

Coincidentally, the cream boy who lost in the ******** card game that day actually appeared at the scene of this birthday luncheon, and the funny thing is that the cream student recently sent a personal bodyguard of his own to let him wander around the boulevard near the White Mansion all day with nothing to do, saying that as long as the flower listens to any orders, he can be called.

Hua Ting, who only thought that the gamble that day was a joke, didn't expect him to take it seriously.

"Oh? Is this Miss Bai Bai Hua listening? ”

The speaker was Shoji Fujita, the head of Japan's special high school who has been in close contact with Bai Qihong recently.

Chinese pronunciation is not standard, but it is quite fluent.

Fujita Shoji has gray and broken hair, slender eyebrows and eyes, two small black mustaches in the middle of the person, and a typical treacherous face, which is no different from the image of the Japanese villain that often appears in TV dramas, all of them are mean and sharp.

Fujita Shoji's gaze stayed on Hana's face, as if with a delicate scrutiny.

Hua Ting tried to avoid it, and after briefly touching the cup with him, he was about to leave, but he didn't expect Fujita Shoji to say again: "How old is Miss Bai this year?" ”

His eyes made Hua Ting feel uncomfortable, especially like a kind of naked look.

“20。” Hua Ting looked a little absent-minded, looking around and looking around, she couldn't find Chen Shu's figure.

"20......" Fujita Shoji seemed to be talking to himself, and when he saw that Hana looked like he was leaving, he said again, "I came in a hurry today, I didn't prepare a gift for Miss Bai, and I ...... next time."

"It's okay, no, no!" Hua Ting interrupted in a hurry, "Gifts and everything are floating clouds, and birthdays are lively." She didn't want to have any personal relations with the head of the Japanese special high school, and she didn't want to accept any gifts from him.

Fujita Shoji laughed happily in a hoarse voice, and the two small black mustaches on the side of his mouth trembled slightly.

Hua Ting couldn't wait to roll his eyes, this impatient gesture made Bai Qihong feel very displeased, he was about to give a formal introduction to Fujita Shoji, just over there Mrs. Bai and Jane also called her to cut the cake.

Hua Tingfei also fled.

Jian Yiding's cake is not too big, but it has three layers, fresh cream mixed with the smell of fruits and vegetables exudes a fruity fragrance, and a circle of colored candles is inserted in the center of the cream, waiting for her wish to be extinguished. However, it is not this mouth-watering leap-level cake that attracts flowers, but a box of matches printed with the silhouette of a singer on the table, which is small and retro in shape, classic and cute, and can be collected as an antique if you bring it back to your own era.

Unexpectedly, after cutting the cake, Bai Qihong asked her to come to a live piano performance.

Is there a mistake?!

The crowd automatically dispersed to the left and right, and Hua Ting saw a black grand piano in the center of the lawn, and she could imagine a woman sitting under the blue sky and white clouds playing a beautiful lyrical melody quietly and elegantly, this melody was noble and beautiful, how intoxicating, but unfortunately the person was not her.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Hua Ting stood in place quite embarrassed.

"Go and listen," Madame Bai urged behind her, "play your best 'Moonlight.'" ”

What is the best moonshine? Daylight is useless.

You can't just go up and make a mess, so you just said, "I can't play." ”

Bai Qihong's face darkened instantly.

"What?" Madame White looked surprised.

"I don't know how to play the piano." Hua heard this, and her eyes searched for two gentle glances from outside the crowd.

Chen Shu was far away, but there was a clear smile in his eyes.

"Sister Bai, don't be modest!" Chen Jingzhi stood up very inopportunely and said, "I heard that your piano has passed grade 8?" ”

"Really?" Hua Ting replied indifferently, "I can't play anyway." ”

For Miss Bai's repeated shirk, everyone felt strange that Bai Qihong's face had been lost.

"Then I'll come!" Chen Jingzhi happily signed up, and his footsteps were already towards the piano.
