Chapter 16 Jewelry
The left-bank western restaurant is very large, located on the edge of the Yang River. The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is a number of private rooms. The table layout in the hall is fixed and scattered, which is not suitable for banquets.
The largest private room can accommodate a lot of people, Su Wenqi only called out more than twenty or thirty close friends, and the private room can just accommodate it. There is not only a long western dining table, but also a variety of modern handicrafts, the decoration is somewhat similar to the Western European style, and the lamps in warm colors are very comfortable to look at.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing when entering the door is the long table, which is the kind of table where the host is the head and the guests sit on both sides when watching Western movies. On top is a coffee-colored tablecloth, with flowers, towels and other items. The waiter came with a trolley and put goblets, cutlery, and so on for each seat. It's very high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade.
There are sofas, televisions, a row of bookcases, world-famous paintings on the walls, and even a fireplace. The European decoration that made this design must be very familiar, which makes this western restaurant antique, and it feels like I really went to a European castle to attend a dinner party.
Su Wenqi and the others went in and sat down on the sofa, and the closest to her were Zou Jie and one of her haircuts. Some of the girls couldn't wait to take out the gifts and said to her, "Happy birthday, Kiki (Boa)." ”
At this time, Zou Jie and her little hair will help take the gift and put it on the sofa, and the flowers will also be placed aside.
A motorcycle friend of Su Wenqi also brought a gift.
He was a very handsome young man, around 20 years old, with a youthful atmosphere all over his body. His existence made many girls secretly look at him, and after comparing him and Su Wenqi for a long time, they all felt that they were a match made in heaven.
The young man walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Kiki, happy birthday." Here's a necklace I picked out in my family's jewelry shop, and you can see if you like it or not. ”
In the young man's hand was a small gift box, which he opened to reveal a delicate necklace. At one end of the necklace is a crystal clear diamond that sparkles in the light.
There is not a single girl who is not interested in such a glittering thing, and many girls almost go crazy on the spot, and they all exclaim.
A knowledgeable person said: "Diamond necklace, look at the brand on the box seems to be Kadi, if it is really this brand, one carat will cost tens of thousands." ”
Hearing this price, the crowd was even more talking.
Cardi is an internationally renowned jewelry brand with counters in major domestic jewelry stores. The price of genuine Cardi diamond jewelry is not low, one carat is one or two hundred thousand, if the quality is better, one carat is seventy or eighty thousand. Ordinary people use this box as a wedding necklace is a luxury, but this young man uses it as a birthday gift.
What's even more surprising is that Su Wenqi just smiled, said thank you, and took the box and put it in the hands of Zou Jie, whose eyes were shining. Looking at her appearance, if it weren't for someone's birthday gift, it would not be impossible to give it to Zou Jie on the spot.
But it's normal to think about it carefully, Su Wenqi, as the pearl of Su Hongjun, has been rich and raised since he was a child, what kind of world-famous bags, jewelry, and diamonds have not been seen? This diamond is estimated to be less valuable than a hairpin that someone puts in a dresser drawer. And it is precisely because she grew up in such an environment that Su Wenqi is also very easy to resist the temptation of the outside world, and even has one more heart than ordinary people, and she can easily see whether a person is good or bad, as evidenced by Lin Ming's plan being seen through last time. It's just that Su Wenqi has been pampered since she was a child, and her reading grades are miserable, so she went to Yuncheng No. 4 Middle School, otherwise with her intelligence and intelligence, it is not impossible to be admitted to a high school.
The girls looked at her enviously, but many things could not be compared, and when they were compared, they lost their meaning. Su Wenqi is usually low-key, not domineering, and can play with anyone. So there are a lot of friends, even if she receives such an expensive gift, she will not make irresponsible remarks.
It's just that with the appearance of this young man's gift, everyone is a lot cramped. Because Su Wenqi's friends are all students, even if the family background is not bad, the pocket money is definitely not much. Gifts of a few hundred dollars are the best, most of them are dozens of dollars, and they can't be compared with him.
Fortunately, the people here are all girls and students, so they don't compare with him as a 20-year-old young man. It's almost okay to come over with a gift and say a blessing, and there is no need to be too serious about whose gift is more expensive than whom.
When everyone's gifts were almost gone, Lin Ming hid behind the crowd, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was already empty-handed, and he still had gifts in his hands, which looked a little embarrassing.
The main thing is also quite embarrassing, last time he and Su Wenqi had a falling out, and both of them planned not to see each other. As a result, Cao Yingwu got him here with a phone call. It's just that it's hard for him to ride a tiger now, and when the two look at each other, Su Wenqi must be a cynicism. Last time, he saw the signs, maintaining a relationship on the surface, but in fact, he was already a passerby in his heart.
Now in the past, after all, there is a suspicion of "bowing your head and admitting your mistakes". Lin Ming had a bitter face, and said in his heart that Cao Yingwu was really a cheat, and he called me to come, and he didn't say whose birthday it was. rushed over, and saw that it was Su Wenqi, this pockmark is not a pockmark, it is a pit person.
However, sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. If you go now, you will definitely offend Su Wenqi to death. So Lin Ming still walked over hard, came to Su Wenqi, and said, "Su Wenqi, happy birthday." ”
Su Wenqi looked at him expressionlessly, expressionless, which was the most wonderful expression. She didn't reach out to take the gift, but her eyes stared at Lin Ming and didn't take the slightest look away.
It was embarrassing for her to let Lin Ming stay there without accepting the gift, but fortunately, Zou Jie helped to relieve the siege and immediately took the things over.
Lin Ming was about to climb down the pole and ask for his resignation. Su Wenqi suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you Lin Ming." I'm really curious what gift you will give me. ”
Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not something valuable, a hardcover version of the book." ”
He had heard Cao Yingwu say that he was in the Left Bank Western Restaurant, and he knew that the people who went here were either looking for romantic couples or literary and elegant people. Since they are the same age as Cao Yingwu, couples are not very realistic. He guessed that the person who celebrated his birthday must be a person who likes literature, and spent more than 100 yuan to buy a hardcover version of the world's famous books.
However, it can be regarded as crooked, in addition to being the young owner of the Left Bank Western Restaurant, Su Wenqi also likes literature very much. In order to pass the audition of the New Concept Essay Contest before, she read world famous books to make up for her literary knowledge, and even found Lin Ming to help make up for her writing skills.
Sure enough, hearing that it was a hardcover version of the book, Su Wenqi still unconsciously showed a smile. This made the people next to him very surprised, you must know that even if the young man on the motorcycle gave a diamond necklace, her face did not change, and a set of famous classics captured her mind, which was really unexpected.
Su Wenqi's attitude changed, and Lin Ming was embarrassed to say goodbye again, and swallowed back the wording he had just thought.
After everyone gave the gifts, they sat down, pulled the group of people in their circle, and talked one by one. The young man who gave the necklace was like a center of the people, he was older, more mature in thought, and spoke wittily, which attracted several girls to sit around him. Su Wenqi and Zou Jie are together, and the other is her hair is called Gao Gao, Gao Gao is a very interesting girl. His name is Gao Gao, but he looks a head shorter than Su Wenqi, and he was jokingly nicknamed Gao Lego by Su Wenqi and other playmates who have been together in elementary school. Gao Gao and Zou Jie were like the second general, and they didn't leave Su Wenqi for a moment, as if they wanted to show that they had a good relationship with her.
Lin Ming didn't have a circle to mix with, so he sat alone and leaned on a small sofa. This is not the era of smartphones, there is no mobile phone to play. He watched everyone chatting from the sidelines, with a smile on his face, which was quite like everyone was sleeping and waking up alone.
After a while, the waiter brought the red wine, Lin Ming was actually quite strange, it was obviously Cao Yingwu who called him over, but what about this kid?
Su Wenqi is taboo to make friends with men and women, but the usual iceberg goddess discourages most boys from making friends with her. Only after getting acquainted with her will you know that she is actually a very good talker. Cao Yingwu played with her, also because of Zou Jie's relationship, and after a long time, he knew that she was not difficult to get along with.
There are also Song Ziqian and a few boys, and the relationship with Su Wenqi is not bad. No one has arrived until now, what is the situation?
I'm thinking about it.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Cao Yingwu and Song Ziqian and several other boys from the fourth middle school who were close to Su Wenqi came in with a large cardboard box. After Cao Yingwu entered the door, he shouted strangely: "Eldest sister, you ordered this cake a little bigger." It's not heavy, it's not easy for a few of us to move. ”
Cao Yingwu and the others carefully brought in the big cardboard box one by one, because it was a cake inside, which was easy to break, so they were all very cautious. Squatting slowly, squatting like a turtle came in.
Su Wenqi couldn't help but smile and said, "Put it on the table, be careful, if you break the cake I specially ordered, I will eat you as a cake." ”
Cao Yingwu slowly moved the cake to the table with a bitter face, this cake was as tall as a person, it was really not so easy to move in. Lin Ming was still wondering where Cao Yingwu and the others went, it turned out that they had moved the cake. is worthy of Su Wenqi, a smug female man, and even the cake for her birthday is seven or eight times bigger than that of ordinary people.
Lin Ming went up to take a hand, and Cao Yingwu whispered, "Brother Ming, you're here." ”
Lin Ming said, "You called me here." ”
Cao Yingwu glanced at Su Wenqi and whispered, "I heard Zou Jie say that you and Sister Qiqi quarreled?" ”
To say that Cao Yingwu really has the talent to be a matchmaker, he has been matching him and Su Wenqi, and he is afraid that the relationship between the two will be estranged because of quarrels. This time, he simply took advantage of Su Wenqi's birthday to call Lin Ming over, wanting to ease the relationship between the two.
Lin Ming rolled his eyes and said, "There was no quarrel, but there was some misunderstanding in it, so don't worry about it." Sometimes good intentions will do bad things, and we will handle her affairs ourselves. ”
In fact, there was nothing else, and he complained about Lin Ming himself, and he didn't know how to twitch his brain, so he wanted Su Wenqi and Lu Chengru to meet as soon as possible. Let Su Wenqi and his sister know what kind of person Lu Chengru is. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Su Wenqi was just a 16-year-old girl at that time, and her figure hadn't grown yet, and Lu Chengru didn't like it. It wasn't until two years later that Su Wenqi became more mature and charming, so that Lu Chengru would let go of joy and pursue it. So that time Lin Ming threw his eyes to the blind man, not only did he not achieve his goal, but he also caused a commotion. let Su Wenqi have an opinion about him, but fortunately, he doesn't care. It's not that Enron has an opinion about him, so he doesn't take it to heart.
It's just that he didn't plan to intersect with Su Wenqi again, but he didn't expect Cao Yingwu to insert this lever, which really gave Lin Ming a headache.
