Chapter 57: Excess
Li Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Xiaotian very sincerely, and her words were also very sincere.
Jiang Xiaotian's smile froze on his face, his eyes flashed, and the inferiority complex in his heart that should have disappeared seemed to be released again.
He didn't expect that Li Xiaoqing took the initiative to find him for the first time and talked to him for the first time, and it was actually for this.
In fact, he couldn't mention it himself, but Li Xiaoqing took the initiative to ask for it, and even said that he would treat this as a birthday gift, in order not to let Jiang Xiaotian have a chance to refuse.
She said everything to this, Jiang Xiaotian didn't say anything, just nodded lightly: "Okay, I promise you, then I wish you a happy birthday in advance." ”
After speaking, he was about to close the door, but was stopped by Li Xiaoqing, and it could be seen that she was a little entangled: "That...... I didn't mean that, you know, my friends are rich......"
Jiang Xiaotian still nodded: "I know, so I agreed." ”
Li Xiaoqing pursed her lips, mumbled, and went back to the room.
Jiang Xiaotian closed the door, and his heart sank suddenly.
He had been trying to get on good terms with his cousin, and that had been the case since the day he was brought home by his uncle.
But it is impossible to be like Zhong, when he encounters any problems, he just stands up and solves them.
In fact, my cousin is rich and not bad-looking, so she won't encounter any problems that can't be solved at all, and even if she does, it will definitely not be Jiang Xiaotian's turn to help.
Therefore, he has never had the opportunity to ease the relationship with Li Xiaoqing.
Even if he took the initiative to mention that he didn't attend his cousin's birthday and didn't come back for New Year's Day, he just didn't want to mess with her.
Unexpectedly, she hated herself to this extent.
Thinking of what he had done before, Jiang Xiaotian only felt meaningless and ridiculous.
This night, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, his heart was panicked, unspeakably uncomfortable, Ling'er asked him how the situation was, he thought about it, and finally said that it was good, the same as in previous years.
It's the same, in fact, Li Xiaoqing has always hated himself so much, but he hasn't had this consciousness.
Early the next morning, my aunt went out to work, and Li Xiaoqing put on makeup and went to enjoy the New Year's Day holiday with her friends beautifully, and soon there were only two people left at home, my uncle and Jiang Xiaotian.
Maybe he finally understood that no matter what he did, he couldn't integrate into this family anymore, but Jiang Xiaotian let go, what should he do, and he didn't have to be afraid.
Li Zhiyuan fulfilled his promise, took Jiang Xiaotian to the street, and bought several clothes, no matter whether he looked good or not, he bought expensive ones, and he also wanted to make up for him more.
When he bought it all, he took him to a more luxurious-looking restaurant for lunch.
Coincidentally, as soon as they walked in, they saw Li Xiaoqing, surrounded by a circle of handsome men and beautiful women, and sitting next to her was a young man with a famous brand, who looked like he should be a rich second generation.
Li Zhiyuan suddenly frowned and strode over: "Xiaoqing! ”
Li Xiaoqing was eating and drinking with friends, and when she saw her father coming, she immediately panicked.
"Dad...... What are you doing here? ”
Li Zhiyuan swept around, his face was not very good-looking: "Didn't you say that you went to the same school to tutor for homework?" ”
His voice was obviously suppressing anger, there were many people here, and he couldn't break his daughter's face.
However, before she could answer, the boy next to her had already stood up: "Hello uncle, that's right, we are indeed here to make up for our homework, after all, it is almost the end of the semester, but because everyone is a little hungry, I took it upon myself to invite them to eat here." ”
He is very manly, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he takes all the problems on himself.
But in front of Li Zhiyuan, it was useless, he stared at the boy, and his tone was not friendly: "Who are you?" ”
The boy was still very calm: "I am Xiaoqing's classmate, my name is Yang Feng, this restaurant is a catering brand under my company, it doesn't cost money, uncle, are you also here to eat, if so, I'll pay!" ”
He advanced and retreated in his words, and he really couldn't find any flaws, so even Li Zhiyuan no longer had a straight face about this polite boy, and his speech was no longer so cold: "Oh, hello." ”
Originally, when the matter ended here, there would be nothing, but who is Li Zhiyuan, doesn't he know his daughter?
Therefore, he didn't care about this man, but turned his head directly and asked Li Xiaoqing: "Since you are out to play, why can't you bring your cousin with you?" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone noticed the man standing beside Li Zhiyuan.
Jiang Xiaotian is dressed ordinary, so his sense of presence is particularly low.
But when he heard Li Zhiyuan say this, he was still startled: "Uncle! Don't say that, Xiaoqing is here to study, why should I follow! ”
But this scene fell in Li Xiaoqing's eyes, but she felt extremely hypocritical.
His father even said himself in front of so many people for this parasite, when did Li Xiaoqing suffer this grievance?
She didn't even bother to find an excuse when she wanted to explain, so she got up directly and said, "Yes, I'm just here to play, so what's wrong with not wanting to take him?" I don't understand, why do I have to take my friend with me when I'm having a good time? To put it mildly, if this meal AA, can he afford it? ”
Li Zhiyuan was stunned, he didn't expect that the girl would say such a thing!
"You! How can you say that about your cousin! ”
But Li Xiaoqing was unconvinced at this time: "What's wrong! Am I wrong! Look what he's dressed for! Not even a decent outfit! He can't get into the kind of store that requires formal clothes, how can you let me take him! ”
Jiang Xiaotian smiled bitterly on the side, he was shameless, and he didn't want his uncle to quarrel with his cousin for himself.
"It's not uncle, you're wrong Xiaoqing, she came to ask me if I wanted to be together last night, and I refused." He made up a random reason.
When Li Zhiyuan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, while Li Xiaoqing didn't expect Jiang Xiaotian to say this at all, and looked at him with some shock, but he was still angry, so he still looked at him unpleasantly.
"Did you hear that? He doesn't want to come himself, it's my business! Li Xiaoqing finished the fire in her stomach and sat down, no one wanted to pay attention to it.
Li Zhiyuan, who is a father, is angry, Jiang Xiaotian was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so he quickly pulled him away.
"Forget uncle, let's go eat somewhere else, it's really too expensive here."
Others hurried to comfort Li Xiaoqing, especially the rich second generation, who was extremely gentle.
As soon as he went out, Li Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiaotian, what are you doing here, I know, it's impossible for her to ask you, aren't you angry?" Even Li Zhiyuan, who was a bystander, felt that his daughter had gone too far.
But Jiang Xiaotian shrugged: "Uncle, don't be angry, she really came to ask me, and even if she didn't come, I don't think it's anything." She's right, we're not in a circle anymore, we can't talk together, there's really no need to force it. ”
Jiang Xiaotian's pattern is already different from before, so since Li Xiaoqing is so disgusted with herself, she just stays away from her and doesn't provoke her.
Looking at Jiang Xiaotian's appearance, Li Zhiyuan was even more helpless, but he didn't say anything, just patted Jiang Xiaotian on the shoulder: "You have indeed grown up, like a man, go, uncle, please eat better!" ”
After this incident, the atmosphere at home instantly became a little wrong.
Especially when Li Xiaoqing came home at night, she saw Li Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, and didn't even say hello.
When my aunt heard about this, she scolded him for being brainless, how could he say that his daughter was not in front of so many people!
My aunt was really angry, and her voice was even louder, Jiang Xiaotian could hear it clearly across the room: "Li Zhiyuan, don't go too far!" Xiaoqing is your daughter! Jiang Xiaotian is just a nephew, are you like this? Xiaoqing doesn't want to take him, you don't bring it, you are too wide, right? It's good that I agreed to let him come back, believe it or not I'll let him go tomorrow? ”
When the uncle, who had not spoken, heard the last sentence, he suddenly broke out: "Be careful when you speak!" Jiang Xiaotian is my nephew, what's wrong? Before my sister died, she begged me to take care of Jiang Xiaotian, what care have I given him over the years? Is it necessary for you to hate him so much? ”
Jiang Xiaotian kept listening, to be honest, it was quite uncomfortable.
Forget it, let's go back tomorrow, anyway, if you don't go to Xiaoqing's birthday, you won't have to wait that long.
Suddenly, the door was opened again.
