Chapter 9: The Dress
When I got to the restaurant, I picked a window seat and sat down. The neon outside the window shone on Du Qiuyi's absent-minded face.
Lin Haoxuan looked at Du Qiuyi;
"What's wrong? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”
"No" Du Qiuyi smiled reluctantly, at this time the waiter took the menu, and Lin Haoxuan ordered a few dishes that Du Qiuyi likes to eat.
Du Qiuyi ordered a bottle of wine, and Lin Haoxuan told the waiter not to, because Du Qiuyi's foot injury was not suitable for drinking.
Du Qiuyi shrugged helplessly.
The taste of the food in this restaurant is really good, the delicious food seems to make Du Qiuyi forget the unhappiness in the daytime, Lin Haoxuan also told Du Qiuyi jokes from time to time at the dinner table, and the dinner ended happily.
Lin Haoxuan drove Du Qiuyi home and said to Du Qiuyi on the way;
"Qiu Yi, I have a drinking party to attend on the weekend, can you be my dance partner?"
Du Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, yes, the Lin Group is also a famous and noble family in this city, and the D Group will inevitably invite the Lin family to the anniversary reception.
Lin Haoxuan looked at Du Qiuyi in a trance and said tactfully;
"What's wrong? Confused? ”
Du Qiuyi told the story of Si Zeyu's invitation to her as a dance partner at the drinking party and rejected Lin Haoxuan.
Since meeting Si Zeyu at the door of Group D that day, Lin Haoxuan felt that the relationship between him and Du Qiuyi was not simple, so he found someone to check Si Zeyu.
Of course, I also found out what happened three years ago.
Lin Haoxuan smiled and said;
"It's okay, I'll tell you earlier next time."
Although she doesn't like Lin Haoxuan, she is also a friend after all, she doesn't want to cause misunderstandings between friends because of these little things, seeing Lin Haoxuan so personable, Du Qiuyi feels that Si Zeyu is ugly.
In a blink of an eye, on Friday night, Du Qiuyi came home and called Liu Lin, asking for some things about Du Zhuangzhuang.
"Mom, Aunt Liu said you went on a business trip recently, when will you come back?"
Hearing her son's immature voice on the phone, Du Qiuyi's tears couldn't help but flow out. Although he is busy with work, he has always completed his work before the weekend, and he has never missed the weekend to accompany his son.
If it weren't for Si Zeyu's appearance, she wouldn't have to endure the pain of separation.
"Strong and good, mom will be back soon, maybe mom can pick you up from school next week?" comforting his son on the phone.
"Mom. You can work with peace of mind, don't worry about me, I will listen to Aunt Liu. "To have such a sensible and lovely son is Du Qiuyi's greatest happiness.
Liu Lin comforted Du Qiuyi on the phone again, and told the child that she would take care of it.
Du Qiuyi thanked Liu Lin and hung up the phone.
Du Qiuyi is now looking forward to the smooth end of the ball, and quickly put an end to the case of Group D.
The thought of the dance party also gave Du Qiuyi a headache, in addition to work and at home over the years, she rarely went out to participate in any entertainment, and she didn't even have a decent dress.
Roommate Xia Xia has come back in the past few days, it is better to borrow one from Xia Xia casually, anyway, she didn't regard this drinking party as an important matter, if it weren't for Si Zeyu's threat of planning the case, she wouldn't have bothered to participate in any drinking party.
Xia Xia was a warm-hearted person, and she rummaged through all the skirts in her closet, and Du Qiuyi casually chose a lilac skirt, which was it.
That's when the doorbell rang.
I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes holding a beautiful gift box in his hand;
"Hello, may I ask Ms. Du Qiuyi?"
Du Qiuyi nodded.
"This is what the president asked me to give to you personally." After speaking, he put the box in Du Qiuyi's hand, turned around and left.
Du Qiuyi looked at the box and just wanted to ask something, when she saw the man's back disappear into the corridor. What a neat man.
Xia Xia looked at the box in amazement, just looking at the box was worth a lot of money, and couldn't wait to see what was inside.
Du Qiuyi was still holding the box and standing in place, and Xia Xia snatched the box;
"Qiu Yi, I'll open it for you."
When the box was opened, Xia Xia and Du Qiuyi were dumbfounded, it was a lilac evening dress, with a silver-white pattern outlined on the waist, and the skirt was a hollow design. It looks like it's worth a lot.
Xia Xia always felt that this evening dress was familiar, and hurriedly ran back to her room to take out a fashion magazine that had just been published. Looking at the evening dress, and then looking at the magazine, Xia Xia's eyes are about to pop up.
Du Qiuyi looked at Xia Xia in surprise;
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xia showed Du Qiuyi the magazine, this evening dress is the latest masterpiece of the famous French fashion designer Anni. Limited edition of five pieces worldwide. The price is even more surprisingly in the six figures.
This is a piece of clothing, it's a beautiful work of art.
At this time, a text message came from Du Qiuyi's mobile phone.
"I got the dress, I must wear it, I don't want my dance partner to wear it and embarrass me."
Looking at the text message sent by Si Zeyu, Du Qiuyi threw the evening dress on the ground.
Frightened, Xia Xia hurriedly picked it up;
"My aunt, this dress is enough for us to eat for half a lifetime."
This mood is really terrible, you can change your dance partner if you are embarrassed, and ghosts are rare to be his dance partners.
At this time, Du Qiuyi's phone rang, and Du Qiuyi thought it was the self-righteous Si Zeyu, so she hung up without looking.
The phone rang again, and Du Qiuyi just wanted to turn off the phone, but saw that it was Lin Haoxuan's number.
Answering the phone, Lin Haoxuan said that he was downstairs at her house and had something to tell her.
When I went downstairs, I saw Lin Haoxuan leaning next to the car.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late." Lin Haoxuan said gentlemanly.
"It's okay, is there something wrong with me?"
Saying that, Lin Haoxuan opened the car door and took out a box;
"For you."
Du Qiuyi looked at Lin Haoxuan;
"Thank you for the gift, but I can't accept it"
"You rejected me without even looking at it, Qiu Yi, this is just an ordinary evening dress, it's not expensive, but I think it fits your temperament very well." Lin Haoxuan deliberately emphasized ordinary, and not expensive.
When Du Qiuyi heard that it was an evening dress, she was moved in her heart.
Lin Haoxuan has been in contact with Du Qiuyi for so long, so he naturally understands that for such a grand dance party tomorrow night, Du Qiuyi will definitely not have suitable clothes, so he specially chose this one for her.
I don't know what kind of psychology Du Qiuyi actually accepted this gift.
Seeing off Lin Haoxuan, Du Qiuyi went upstairs, stacked the evening dress given by Si Zeyu in a box, and put it in the cabinet.
