Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eating
The meal was awkward, and after Liang Jiu had fully expressed that he no longer wanted to hear anything about Ernest, the atmosphere at the dinner table plummeted, and then, the fool named Yu Tian began to talk about Patricia again.
"I heard that at this year's Milan Fashion Week, Patricia and Valentino collaborated on a show and released a limited collection, and then they were robbed like crazy." Yu Tian's specialty is fashion design, so he has a natural affection for Patricia.
"All the jewelry in that costume came from the Adler family, so I thought it was enough to buy all those accessories." Quan Xiaorui glanced at Liang Jiu, who was silent, "Adler Jewelry has never cooperated with big brands before, who would not be tempted by this limited combination." ”
Quan Xiaorui said and touched the lake blue bracelet she was wearing, the diamonds were shining and shiny, and it cost a lot of money at a glance, she raised her hand a little proudly and said, "Just like this string in my hand was bought and given to me by my mother before I went to Cambridge last year, and there is only one in the world." ”
"Yes, Adler Jewelry never cooperates with fashion brands, this is self-depreciation, and any jewelry owned by Adler is a status symbol." Yu Tian looked at Liang Jiu with some regret, "Sister Liang Jiu, before I came back, I ordered a set of agate brooches, and I was told that the order was scheduled for next year, but unfortunately it was a birthday gift for my mother." ”
Liang Jiu put down the chopsticks, she naturally ate more when she said little, and the mood improved when she ate more, she called Secretary Cui in, and then recounted the events of the rest of the day.
"Miss, I'll do it." Secretary Cui bowed knowingly and went down.
"I hope your mother will like it when she receives the gift." Liang Jiu smiled at Yu Tian, who was directly shocked and speechless.
"Is that okay?" Yu Tian couldn't believe it, he didn't get any benefits from Ernest with all his might, Liang Jiu did it with a word?
"Don't worry, Secretary Cui will definitely arrange it."
"You've helped me a lot!" Yu Tian didn't know how to thank him, he beckoned the waiter in, "What else do you want to eat, brother has a treat today." ”
"You can't be reserved." Cheng Fangyuan held down Yu Tian beside him, and then smiled very sorryly, "Don't be surprised, he is crazy." ”
"It's just a brooch, and it's worth screaming about." Yuan Xiaorui was sullen, and her voice was much lower.
"I heard that the jewelry of the Adler family is hard to find, and their masters are all craftsmen who have passed down the craft for generations, and if they want to customize jewelry, even the British royal family has to obediently queue up." Lin Bei took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"That's that, I thought there was no hope, today's meal is not in vain, Sister Liang Jiu, I will call you in the future." Yu Tian has always been a very righteous person, although he seems to be harmless and kind to humans and animals, but his ancestors did a two-way business of black and white.
Quan Xiaorui saw that the whole scene was robbed by Liang Jiu, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Anyway, Ernest is sad that the beauty is closed, and it is rumored that this cooperation is just the beginning, Liang Jiu, what do you think." ”
Liang Jiu raised her eyes, she was thinking about where she had offended Quan Xiaorui, so much so that Quan Xiaorui had hidden cold arrows in every sentence today. Quan Xiaorui is two years older than her, and although the two were in the same school in the UK, they never interacted with each other, let alone talked about holidays.
"That's his own business." Liang Jiu drank the flavor of the soup, and then asked, "How long is Sister Quan going to stay when she returns to China?" ”
Quan Xiaorui was stunned, Sister Quan?
"The school Thanksgiving break is only one week away."
"It's going to be fun, going to college should be hard, right?"
As soon as Liang Jiu's words came out, everyone present knew it except for Yu Tian. Liang Jiu knows best what Quan Xiaorui's high school grades are, but it is at the middle and upper reaches level, and her entry into Cambridge is entirely due to her mother's public relations ability, plus the several violin competitions she participated in in high school.
As for the rumors that Quan Xiaorui failed in the first semester, it has long been reported on the entertainment headlines, who can not know.
Yu Tian is an exception, he lives overseas and doesn't care much about domestic affairs.
Quan Xiaorui's face really changed, "Liang Jiu, we are also alumni anyway, you can't deny this account just because you left the school." ”
"Since I'm an alumnus, how do I think Sister Quan's previous words also have ulterior motives." Liang Jiu tilted his head to look at Quan Xiaorui, who looked unhappy on the other side, and asked Yu Tian instead, "Yu Tian, what is this meal for this year?" ”
Yu Tian was embarrassed, Quan Xiaorui and his family were world friends, Quan Xiaorui proposed to see Lin Bei, of course he pushed the boat. Hearing that Lin Bei and the whole family had a falling out, he was actually curious about what was going on.
"I haven't seen Lin Bei for a long time, and I finally returned to China, of course I want to get together, but I don't know what you came to do." Quan Xiaorui took a sip of tea, and her tone was not good.
Lin Bei slowly spoke, "I heard that Liang Jiu came with me to meet my friends, and as for the gathering, I am not familiar with Miss Quan, so I can't talk about gathering." ”
"You ......" Quan Xiaorui blocked his chest in one breath, and then asked softly, "Are you blaming me for not saying goodbye in the first place?" ”
An ambiguous atmosphere spread in the banquet, and Quan Xiaorui stared at Lin Bei with a pair of eyes, as if there were a thousand words in her throat.
It's a pity that Lin Bei frowned, "Miss Quan, what are you talking about." ”
At this point, the fool understands that this is the concubine's ruthlessness. Liang Jiu secretly smiled in his heart, and then asked innocently, "Lin Bei, Sister Quan looks a little disappointed." ”
Lin Bei glanced at her, gloating.
"Let's go." Lin Bei stood up, then turned and walked out of the private room.
As soon as Liang Jiu was about to leave the table, Quan Xiaorui's voice came from inside, "Liang Jiu, your brother asked me to take care of you, how can you explain if you let me go back?" ”
Liang Jiu stopped putting on his shoes, and then poked his head out, "You just tell him that everything is fine with me here." ”
Lin Bei stood next to her and pulled her up, Secretary Cui waited at the door, and then Cheng Fangyuan also followed.
"You're leaving?" Cheng Fangyuan's eyes saw that the two were very close, and raised his eyebrows, "Lin Bei, why do you bother." ”
Lin Bei pursed his thin lips and brought Liang Jiu to his side, "My matter, I hope you can stop in moderation." ”
"What's wrong with me?" Cheng Fangyuan asked knowingly, and suddenly asked, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to get so close." ”
Liang Jiu wanted to go up and seal Cheng Fangyuan's mouth, but Lin Bei stopped her with an understatement.
"It may be inappropriate between friends, but Liang Jiu and I are different."
Not the same? What's the difference?
Liang Jiu was stunned and was taken away by Lin Bei.
Also stunned was Cheng Fangyuan, who was standing there, and Quan Xiaorui, who could hear it clearly.
"Sister Xiaorui, what do you think of Liang Jiu and Lin Bei...... Is it a couple? Yu Tian was also uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he was a little careful about Lin Bei, but thinking that if the other party was Liang Jiu, he could only bless him.
After all, in Yu Tian's heart, Liang Jiu is now his goddess.
"Don't talk nonsense." Quan Xiaorui's face was not good, "It's impossible for Lin Bei to get together with a politician's daughter." ”
"Why?" Yu Tian touched his head, isn't a businessman in the Lin family still unwilling to have some foundation?
Quan Xiaorui didn't speak again, but she knew that even if Liang Jiu and Lin Bei really had some feelings, it would be fruitless.
After all, Lin Bei's home, she knows it too well.
Quan Xiaorui said that she wanted to rest, and the party naturally dispersed, and after Yu Tian sent her back to the hotel, she cared a few more words before leaving.
Quan Xiaorui returned to the room, took off her coat, and dialed Ernest's phone.
"Ernest, I've seen Liang for a long time today, guess what......"
Ernest, who was in Paris for a meeting, listened for only a minute, and his deep eyes sank.
He raised his hand to signal the meeting to be suspended, and then returned to his office, where the secretary was sent out, his hand clenching the phone, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course, I can't be clearer about the Lin family, looking at Lin Bei's appearance, it is also the advice of his old man, you also know that he can't coexist with the opposite sex at all since he was stimulated, but you didn't see it today, he is about to hug Liang Jiu's sister, what does this mean?"
"I'm asking you to inquire about the situation, not to let you tell the truth." Ernest loosened his tie and spoke impatiently.
"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone, but I'm not the only one here today, I'm afraid ......"
"Who else is there."
"You know Yu Tian and I, and there is another classmate who is also their classmate, named Cheng Fangyuan, who is a son of a listed company who makes electronic equipment at home."
Ernest didn't care about the domestic market, he searched for relevant information in his mind, and the Cheng family was very strange to him.
"Okay." Ernest ended the call with two short words.
He sat quietly in his room for a while, then returned to the conference room.
All the high-level officials looked at each other, and the boss's face was too bad.
