Chapter 66: The Birthday Banquet
After helping Lu Sishen to the sofa, Qiao Anning went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for Lu Sishen to drink, and when she came out after boiling the hot water, she found that Lu Sishen had fallen asleep on the sofa.
His face was still a little pale, and his thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which made people unconsciously want to step forward to help him smooth out the Sichuan characters between his eyebrows.
She went back to the bedroom, took out a blanket and gently covered him, and went to the balcony to call the old house, saying that she would not go back tonight.
After doing all this, Qiao Anning took a shower and went back to the room to sleep with her mobile phone, and when she opened her phone, she saw that Qiao Yishan had called her ten minutes ago.
Qiao Anning called back, and the phone rang, and Qiao Yishan picked it up.
"Second sister, it's so late, what's the matter?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and Qiao Yishan's somewhat fragile voice came, "Qiao Zhengyu called me just now." ”
Qiao Anning frowned reflexively, Qiao Zhengyu hadn't cared about her since Qiao Yishan could remember, how could he suddenly call her.
"What did he say?"
"Huh! What else can I say, you want me to intercede in front of my grandfather and let Qiao Jiahui go to the family tree. Qiao Yishan's voice was much colder, and her tone was thick with mockery.
Qiao Anning felt that Qiao Zhengyu's brain might have been caught by the door, so she asked Qiao Yishan to intercede for Qiao Jiahui in front of her grandfather.
"Second Uncle is crazy! Normal people who do this kind of thing! ”
Let his wife's daughter intercede for him and the daughter of the junior outside into the family tree, he is afraid that he will not lose his mind after being beaten out of the old house by his grandfather.
Qiao Yishan sneered and said sarcastically: "Who knows him, maybe he thinks I'm a fool, I naively thought that he remembered that my mother's sacrifice day was coming, and planned to discuss with me to worship my mother, it's ridiculous to think about it now, I'm afraid he doesn't even remember what my mother looks like."
Qiao Anning was a little embarrassed and comforted: "Second sister, don't be sad, one day the second uncle will regret what he did."
"He doesn't regret it, it doesn't mean anything to me anymore, in the years when my mom and I needed him the most, he was with another woman, with another daughter, and from now on, I won't expect anything from him again." Qiao Yishan said it word by word, and Qiao Anning knew that she was probably really completely disappointed in Qiao Zhengyu.
The two chatted a few more words and hung up.
Qiao Anning put her mobile phone on the head of the bed, covered the quilt and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qiao Anning was woken up by the alarm clock, she got up and walked out of the bedroom, and found that Lu Sishen had already left, there was a breakfast on the table, still warm, and a note pressed under the plate.
- There is something temporary, I will leave first, thank you for taking in, tonight is the birthday of the rolling, there is a dinner party in the Lu family's old house, he really hopes you can come.
Qiao Anning's hand clenched the note, and after a while, he went to the bathroom to wash.
Because there is no role for her in the past two days, she can join the group one day later, and she happens to attend Lu Rolling's birthday banquet tonight.
Just what kind of birthday gift should you prepare?
Qiao Anning had a headache.
Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was evening, and Qiao Anning decided to send a pair of puzzles.
"Aunt Qiao, you're here!" When Lu Luan saw Sheng Xue, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran to her quickly with his little short legs, looking excited.
Tonight, Lu Rolling wore a small black suit, a red bowtie tied on his chest, and a three-seven-point hairstyle, looking like a little adult.
Qiao Anning handed over the gift in his hand and said with a smile: ", happy birthday!" ”
Lu Rolling took the gift in surprise, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he took the gift and said happily, "Thank you, Aunt Qiao." ”
As the grandson of the Lu family, the Lu family has put a lot of effort into this birthday banquet, and the guests invited are all rich or expensive, and the old man Lu is even more bold, and he built an exclusive playground for him directly in the city center.
When Qiao Anning came, there were already a lot of people gathered in the venue, and everyone pushed their cups and changed their glasses, laughing and talking.
The glass light shines on the crystal glass, refracting colorful light, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
Qiao Anning didn't like to be lively, and after giving the gift to Lu Rolling, he sat alone in the corner and quietly tasted the red wine in the cup.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend Lu Rolling's birthday party......"
Lu Sishen opened as the head of the family, and as soon as he appeared, it caused a commotion in the venue.
Everyone looked at this person who came like a god with envy, he was calm and steady, his temperament was gorgeous, and his words were round, he looked down, and many women in the field lowered their heads in shame, but they looked at him from time to time, hoping that he was looking at himself.
Feeling the eager gaze fall on his face, Qiao Anning looked from afar and was a little surprised to see him wearing the blue suit he had given him.
Lu Si has a long body, wide shoulders and a straight body, and he wears a suit, which is like a hanger, which is very good-looking.
"See you again."
A female voice like a silver bell sounded, Qiao Anning looked up, it turned out to be Zhong Cai, today she was wearing a light-colored long dress, and the backless style added a bit of intellectual charm, especially the snow-like white complexion, like a natural white jade, under the light, the beauty is incomprehensible.
She held two glasses of whiskey in her hand and smiled softly at Qiao Anning, "You don't mind if I sit here, right?" ”
Qiao Anning still remembered her arrogant posture in the mall last time, although she didn't want to have a deep relationship with her, she still bowed politely and said, "Please."
Zhong Cai sat down and looked at Lu Sishen on the stage, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smug smile, "Si Shen, he is really dazzling." ”
Qiao Anning didn't reply, in the eyes of many women, Lu Sishen is like a star, even with children, he is still the fifth king of diamonds.
"You know what? I have a secret. Zhong Cai raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and turned his head to look at Qiao Anning, his eyes full of desire to talk. Hope.
Qiao Anning was a little speechless, she was most annoyed by the people of high society who would talk half and leave half at every turn, as if others were really curious.
"You can just say what you have, why bother to bother around it!"
Zhong Cai stroked the scattered broken hair, and said disapprerovitically, "I have a strong mind since I was a child, and I am a person with a strong goal, just like a hunter and a prey, once I bite it, I will never let go." ”
Qiao Anning can be said to have heard it, Zhong Cai came over today, and said these words openly and secretly, just to let himself quit automatically and not to approach Lu Sishen.
"So what? Miss Zhong, it is much more useful for you to tell Mr. Lu than to tell me, after all, I am not Mr. Lu, and I can't control who he likes. After Qiao Anning said this with a faint expression, he got up and planned to leave and find a quieter place.
Zhong Cai looked at her back, squeezed the wine glass and said, "I won't let go!"
"It's yours after all, it's yours, it's not yours, it's useless to grab it."
After Qiao Anning put down these words, he walked straight out of the banquet hall.
The air inside made her feel suffocated, and although there was laughter, those so-called upper-class people gave her a sense of flattery.
It's still comfortable, empty, and quiet outside, as if she's a little world by herself.
Although it is winter now, the snow in the back garden of the Lu family has been swept clean, and there is a kind of independent purity in the world of ice and snow.
Qiao Anning put on her coat, walked alone on the path, and unconsciously came to a rose garden, she sniffed it violently, the fragrance of flowers was refreshing, and the troubles in her heart were swept away.
The moon was clear in the sky tonight, and the sky was one of the few days in winter that was not a gray twilight, and she sat on the swing, rocking gently.
Lu Si sank out and saw this scene, the beauty under the moon swinging, the smile in her eyes was like a starry sky, which could accommodate everything in the world, but it was so pure that people did not dare to blaspheme.
Lu Sishen quietly walked over, grabbed the swing rope, and shook it gently.
Qiao Anning was startled and jumped directly off the swing, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that it was him.
"How did you get out? You must be busy tonight, right? ”
Lu Sishen's eyes were deep, and he looked at her with burning eyes, "I saw you alone just now, and I expected that you didn't like this kind of scene, so I slipped out early." ”
Qiao Anning knew that he was for himself, and he was a little helpless, "You don't have to be like this......"
"Everything is of my own free will, and I respect your decision, but you can't sway my mind either."
Lu Si interrupted her with a deep mouth, he didn't want to hear the words of rejection from Qiao Anning's mouth anymore, and immediately changed the topic, "When will you join the group?" ”
Qiao Anning said lightly: "Leave early tomorrow morning."
Her tone was a little indifferent, as if she didn't want to talk about the topic.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, neither of them spoke again, and the air was eerily quiet.
"That...... You are the master, you better go back quickly, the night is a little cold, I will also leave. ”
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Lu Sishen, he took her vigorously and hugged her into his arms, Qiao Anning's nerves tensed up in an instant, she resisted a few times, but she didn't expect Lu Sishen to hug her tighter.
"Don't move! Let me hug you again, okay? Just a moment, do you know how much I miss you? ”
Lu Sishen's voice was low and hoarse, but it was extremely magnetic, and his warm breath spewed on Qiao Anning's ears, making her feel like she was electrocuted, and she was a little itchy.
For some reason, she had already made up her mind, but in the face of such a hug, she just couldn't refuse.
She scolded herself, but her body preceded her thoughts, and her hand slowly raised to wrap around his waist.
For the last time!
She couldn't refuse his tenderness, so she indulged in it again......
Feeling Qiao Anning's response, Lu Sishen's body trembled violently, he was overjoyed, and hugged her tighter.
"I knew you wouldn't be so ruthless!"
He cradled Qiao Anning's cheek feverishly, as carefully as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Because of drinking some wine, Qiao Anning's cheeks were red, her eyes were misty, and under the moonlight, she was like a piece of ice jade, and her lips pursed slightly, like cherries waiting to be picked, with a fatal temptation.
Lu Sishen's Adam's apple moved, and he slowly lowered his head.
Qiao Anning sensed what he was going to do, and this time she didn't resist again, she closed her eyes, as if waiting for something.
"Si Shen!"
A cry suddenly appeared, and the two of them shook and immediately let go of each other.
