Chapter 386: Life is not beautiful at first sight
The atmosphere of the family banquet has always been very warm, most of the people are talking warmly, and there is definitely a happy appearance of the family.
Everyone's topics are very high-end, most of them are in the field of economic investment, but there are also political topics, financial situation, science and technology, culture and education. A family gathering was made to look like a carnival for government officials. Everyone exudes a fairly transparent upper-class feeling, deliberately forgetting the past when they were still persecuting overseas Chinese families many years ago.
Yang Bingbing walked through the crowd, greeted all kinds of smiling faces, raised a glass and responded with a smile, playing the perfect Mrs. Yang's daughter, the true heir of the Yang family.
This kind of thing is really a bit boring for Yang Bingbing, and she feels that it is contrary to the life she understands. Mrs. Yang has lived in a simple place all these years, and she probably hates this kind of formal exaggeration.
While Yang Bingbing was smiling at most people, Mrs. Yang was also trying to comfort her daughter.
After meeting most of the relatives who couldn't remember their faces and identities, Yang Bingbing and Mrs. Yang found a place to sit down, Mrs. Yang frowned slightly, and there were no more uninteresting people around to join in the fun.
"Don't force it, if you don't like it, go back and rest."
Yang Bingbing shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll get used to it." ”
Mrs. Yang said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about this, for you, nothing is a necessary burden. ”
Yang Bingbing looked at the lively scenes coming and going, and still shook his head: "Even you can't get rid of it, how can I escape?" ”
"Bingbing......" Mrs. Yang looked at her daughter's side face, which was similar to her own when she was young, and there was a stubbornness that was not easy to change, "I bear all this so that you don't have to bear it." ”
Yang Bingbing smiled: "Mrs. Yang, do you know the way?" Su Yifan has a middle school classmate and a proud daughter, his father is a famous entrepreneur in Binhai City, and of course there are some gray backgrounds. Her father never let her come into contact with those unclean things, and one day, when her father had an accident, she had to face the malice of the whole world alone. Do you know how she did it? ”
Mrs. Yang was not interested in this kind of little girl's story, that is, she was willing to listen to Yang Bingbing's story, and asked along the way, "How did you do it?" ”
"She intends to exchange herself for her father's safety." Yang Bingbing looked at her mother quietly and said, "Although this approach is not smart, I still admire her very much." ”
Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, in fact, she really wanted to tell her daughter that if she was in danger, she must not make such a stupid move.
Yang Bingbing continued: "Later, Su Yifan asked the girl why she wanted to do this. The girl said that since she enjoyed everything her father had created for her, of course she had the obligation to bear the problems she had. ”
Speaking of Chu Ruo's matter, Yang Bingbing's tone has always been very flat, as if he was telling a story that happened in a distant place. Mrs. Yang knew Yang Bingbing's life well, and even knew that there was a child named Wang Ziwei in the Dao School who planned to pursue her daughter, but she really knew very little about Chu Ruo's affairs. Hearing that Yang Bingbing was willing to take the initiative to bring up the topic of responsibility, Mrs. Yang always had a faint feeling in her heart that had not appeared for a long time.
The daughter has really grown up, and what she says and does now may be more mature than she was back then.
Looking at Yang Bingbing seriously, Mrs. Yang said in a slow and firm tone: "If there is really such a day, the first thing you should do is to take care of yourself." ”
Yang Bingbing smiled and didn't argue with her mother.
In fact, both of them know their own answers, but neither of them will say or argue.
In fact, there is really nothing to say between the mother and daughter, even if Mrs. Yang has a thousand words, the current occasion is not suitable for homely words. As soon as the two of them stopped talking, someone immediately began to come up, say compliments to Mrs. Yang, and make great efforts to praise Yang Bingbing.
Yang Bingbing was really speechless about this kind of scene, she wanted to get up and leave, but she felt that it was not good to save Mrs. Yang's face now.
Just as he was hesitating, Wang Fang came over with a wine glass.
"Cousin, it's been a hard journey, I'll toast you."
From the bottom of his heart, Wang is definitely personable among young people, and his occasional arrogant character is also related to the fact that he has always been smooth. With the Yang family as the backing, many of Wang's investments in the United States have yielded good harvests, which can be regarded as the kind of young people with relatively solid pockets. This kind of confidence is overflowing on the face, coupled with the shape designed by a professional stylist for himself, Wang Fang is qualified enough to capture the hearts of many girls.
It's just that Wang Fang is facing Yang Bingbing, such a girl is not sensitive enough to appearance, and even has a natural dislike for the faces of successful people. Recently, Yang Bingbing was annoyed by Wang Ziwei's affairs in the school, and when she saw Wang Fang, who was almost wearing peacock feathers on her tail, she didn't feel that this kind of person was shining at all.
After all, he is still his cousin, Yang Bingbing picked up the wine glass and touched the glass with his lips. Unexpectedly, Wang Fang toasted and just planned to start, and he didn't mean to leave at all, so he stayed where he was and continued to ask: "How long does my cousin plan to stay in the United States when he comes back this time?" I don't think you should go back at all, it's better to stay in the United States and study at Harvard, than to go to those universities in China. ”
For Americans or not, Harvard's appeal is undeniable. Wang Fang is definitely smart to start with this topic. After all, even if you are not smart, at least you have seen too many girls, and you have a rhythm with rich combat experience.
But Wang Fang's diligence still carries a sense of superiority, after all, when it comes to the education and living environment he has received, he has always felt that it is much better in the United States than in China. Even in the face of the proud daughter of the Yang family, Wang Fang naturally revealed that he had more knowledge than this little girl.
Yang Bingbing pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, Xie Lu Xie cares." ”
The attitude is very peaceful, and the rejection is also very thorough.
The smile is also contemptuous.
- Don't boast about your life, I don't care at all.
Wang Fang saw that Yang Bingbing was obviously not interested in this topic, so he smiled and said, "My cousin is not used to the jet lag here, right?" When you're done, I'll take you on a tour, and you'll love the brand store on Fifth Avenue. ”
Yang Bingbing glanced down at her cheap skirt, shook her head and said, "Xie Lu Xie, I actually don't like shopping very much." ”
Mrs. Yang glanced at her daughter, and said in her heart that Yang Bingbing's lack of oil and salt was actually no different from the one who dared to cut herself with a knife back then. At first, she thought that Wang Fang was not bad, at least it was a typical example of being young and promising, but unfortunately she really compared it in front of her daughter, she still felt that Wang Fang really couldn't compare with her daughter.
Wang Fang knew that Yang Bingbing was very uninterested in himself, but he knew the truth that Lu Dao was not cheeky when talking to a girl.
"My cousin is still very shy, it's okay, let's find a few more young people to get together." Wang Fang turned to Mrs. Yang and said, "To be honest, although it may be easier in China, the environment still can't be compared with here, second aunt, do you want to think about it and let your cousin continue to study here?" ”
Mrs. Yang also understands Wang Fang's courtesy, but she values Yang Bingbing's attitude more, looks at her daughter and says: "Everything depends on Bingbing's meaning, don't be in a hurry to talk about this now." ”
Yang Bingbing's patience with Wang Fang finally dissipated after his repeated entanglement, raised his head, the smile on his face suddenly dissipated, and replied seriously: "If you want to continue to discuss this topic, I will leave now." ”
“…………”
The originally seemingly harmonious atmosphere was suddenly embarrassed, and Mrs. Yang looked at Wang Fang, and her expression began to become less kind than just now.
The mother and daughter who were originally very happy to get along, because of this kid's participation became unpleasant. Even if Mrs. Yang understood Wang Fang's urgent mood now, she couldn't maintain a calm mind to face this junior.
With Mrs. Yang's cold expression, Wang Fang was suddenly dumbfounded, and the thousand words that had been prepared before were suddenly gone. It's not standing where you are, it's not turning your head to walk, it's not going to continue talking, and your expression is extremely embarrassing.
Yang Bingbing continued to look at Wang Fang coldly, and there was no trace of a smile on his face that had been smiling just now.
This atmosphere affected many people around, and everyone's eyes looked at this side, which made Wang Fang feel very unable to get off the stage.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you lose face, Wang Fang is more worried about making Mrs. Yang unhappy.
Yang Bingbing felt those prying eyes, and she knew that there must be many people trying to understand themselves through their every move. This approach is actually no different from those girls in the school who secretly rub and want Hei Cheng Shuixin.
In a sense, no one is better than anyone else. It's just that the scale of what is done is different, Yang Bingbing thought to himself.
Doing such an unruly act by yourself will definitely make many people feel that they are actually an impulsive little girl, right? Those people are satisfied with their own assumptions, and then they will definitely come up with a lot of ideas to get along with themselves. Thinking about it, it really makes people feel tired and helpless, and Yang Bingbing suddenly feels that this seemingly high-end family gathering has become boring and boring.
The worst thing is that I am still in it, and I will have to face these seemingly complicated but boring family relationships.
Is it a relative? Yang Bingbing looked at those who were not even as good as high school students in acting, and didn't feel that this was just a group of creatures colluding with interests.
Wang Fang stood in place and was embarrassed for a moment, but finally coped with it more decently, and said with a smile: "My cousin seems to be really tired, so I won't bother." ”
Madame Yang raised her head and looked at the people around her with the same gaze she had glanced at Dai Qing before.
Yang Bingbing got up: "I'm a little tired, I'm sorry, take a rest." ”
The chaotic family gathering is about to end like this, and everyone seems to be a little unwilling, watching the movements of the protagonist Yang Bingbing in unison, and their minds are obviously screening the appropriate actions that should be shown at this time.
Maybe something should be said? Maybe we should try to save it? Maybe you should say two beautiful words to make a good impression on Mrs. Yang?
Almost all of the thoughts disappeared in Madame Yang's glances. The gaze was expressionless, as if it penetrated the minds of the vast majority of people, making them feel that everything they said seemed pale and hypocritical.
Yang Bingbing was also looking at these people, and she imagined that if Su Yifan was by her side, she would help her deal with this Wang Fang. When Su Yifan returned to China, he told himself what happened in the United States, and of course he did not miss this Wang Fang who once wanted to teach him a lesson.
actually wanted the bodyguards to do something to Su Yifan, Yang Bingbing would not forgive Wang Fang for this alone, how could he pay attention to his accosting?
Yang Bingbing was about to turn around and leave, when someone pushed the door in, which also attracted a lot of attention in the hall.
Yang Zongyuan walked into the living room with a faint smile, felt the oppressive atmosphere in the air for the first time, and saw Wang Fang standing awkwardly in the center of everyone.
Wang Fang's position was not deliberately caused by him, but that many people deliberately kept a certain distance from him.
In less than a second, Yang Zongyuan had already waved his hand at Mrs. Yang, greeting him without any difference just like meeting his family every day.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm late."
This is the first time that Yang Bingbing and Yang Zongyuan have met in their lives, and she feels that this cousin, who has always been praised by others, is not as good as described. Even if he only came into contact with Su Yifan and some people around him, Yang Bingbing could still see that Yang Zongyuan's demeanor had a hint of artificiality, radiating from the inside out.
Subconsciously, Yang Bingbing frowned slightly, watching Yang Zongyuan walk elegantly in the crowd, and secretly made a comparison with Su Yifan.
