94. Major General was forced to meet with parents
That night, Xie Qingqiu met Zhang Tai at the banquet.
This was rare, as it was reasonable for her to come to a banquet of this calibre, and she had not been seen at the last so-called Queen's Birthday Banquet.
Zhang Tai has a great temperament and great power. Sometimes Xie Qingqiu feels that she may not only be a foreign minister, but also involved in many aspects in private, otherwise how can she do what she wants.
She didn't know what Zhang Tai was here for, but when Xie Qingqiu watched her hold her tall glass high and stand in the center of the banquet to be sought after by the crowd, she had a very bad feeling.
I don't know if it's because I was still having dinner with her only child this morning, so I have such a feeling of emptiness.
As the banquet drew to a close, Zhangtai walked up to her with a goblet filled with amber champagne in a condescending manner.
She looks very young, and her temperament is also very graceful and luxurious, and she can't tell that she is already an elder about the same age as Lan Yunling.
The black velvet suit skirt wrapped around her body was just right, and her better figure was also displayed in front of everyone at a glance.
Seven points lazy, three points boring, Xie Qingqiu has always felt that this is a temperament cultivated under the money power of drunken money, representing decadence and desire.
"Xie Qingqiu?" When she called her name, the tail note was raised, and the smell of wine seemed to come out with the breath.
Zhang Tai has never disdained to disguise the unnecessary intimacy of her, and has always called her by her name, showing his dislike and malice nakedly.
"Minister Zhang." Xie Qingqiu brought a glass of champagne from the attendant next to him and raised his glass to Zhangtai. "It's been a long time, how is your health lately?"
Xie Qingqiu swore that there was no irony in his sentence, but he subconsciously regarded Zhang Tai as his elder, and asked again.
But this question is obviously not too kind for a female insect who cares about her age.
She obviously saw the smile on Zhang Tai's face stiffened, and it seemed to faintly reveal a bit of cruelty, but it quickly returned to its original state.
"Major General Xie." When she said these three words, she seemed to be full of sarcasm. "I heard that you haven't been doing well lately, and there was some accident in the Federation."
Her gaze swept up and down Xie Qingqiu's body, "Mind telling me in detail?" ”
If this had been placed in the past, of course Xie Qingqiu would have minded. The relationship between the two was originally tense, not to mention that she was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the details of these things would naturally be told to her in detail by someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Today, it's completely nothing to do.
But now the status is different.
"These words may be too long-winded, Minister Zhang don't mind." She tilted her head slightly, and was about to continue when she was interrupted by the other party.
Zhang Tai retracted his gaze and took a sip of champagne from his glass. "Oh, let's not talk about it then."
Xie Qingqiu didn't expect her to answer like this, and was stunned for two seconds.
Then he asked casually, "I heard that you and Xiao Liu'er have had some exchanges recently?" ”
It's time to eat.
Xie Qingqiu's mind is full of this idea now.
She felt like a high school student who was caught in early love, and the person who was caught was still the parent of the other party. In an instant, she felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Those past grievances are no longer a problem at this moment.
Of course, no matter how much she screams in her heart, she still has to be calm and comfortable on the surface. "Yes, it's true that there was some communication, and I had a meal recently."
In this regard, there is no need to hide anything from Zhang Tai, after all, with her identity and status, it is easy to investigate Zhang Liu's recent whereabouts.
"I didn't know you had such a good relationship." Zhang Taixing may have investigated it a long time ago, so he was not surprised by Xie Qingqiu's answer. "Although the two of you have communicated before."
The exchange that Zhang Tai said was referring to the time when Zhang Liu helped her sort out the mental power riot.
Xie Qingqiu guessed that Zhang Tai's inexplicable hostility towards him was also because of this, after all, no one would want their son to take the risk of doing mental combing for the strange and rioting female worm.
At that time, Zhang Tai thought she was a frivolous female worm.
"Zhang Liu has helped me a lot, and I have always been very grateful to him." It might be appropriate for her to choose to answer this way.
"Huh." I don't know which word of Xie Qingqiu's answer hit Zhangtai's laughter, she pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a smile.
After laughing for a few seconds, she took a small step closer to Xie Qingqiu, revealing a very strange and strange look, and looked at it for a while before she spoke.
"Xie Qingqiu, you seem to be a little different today."
"Really?" Xie Qingqiu didn't answer directly, but asked instead.
But there is no such silence in my heart.
Of course it's different, now that she's going to marry someone else's son, Zhang Tai is about to become her mother-in-law from her political enemy, her identity is different, and naturally she can't be treated in the same way as before, maybe she is indeed a lot more well-behaved.
Zhang Tai snorted, "Of course. ”
"Xie Qingqiu, you've behaved a lot better tonight." She took another sip of the champagne from her glass, "It's like you're about to ask for me, so it's not so perverse." ”
The champagne in Zhangtai's mouth took a few seconds before swallowing. "Even if you tell me the next second that you want to marry Xiao Liu'er, I won't be surprised."
Xie Qingqiu was really surprised, and he didn't rush to answer the other party's words this time.
And Zhang Tai turned around and looked at Xie Qingqiu after saying that, his eyes were cold, and the lazy smile on his face completely faded, as if he wanted to see her straight through.
"Is Minister Zhang willing?" Xie Qingqiu thought that she had seen many winds and waves, but Zhang Tai's eyes still wouldn't really bluff her, and she could be calm in the face of such a situation.
This rhetorical question made the atmosphere of the stalemate a little easier.
Zhang Tai withdrew his gaze and replied to her nonchalantly. "If you really want to, it's not impossible, Major General Xie has to show his sincerity."
What is sincerity, what is sincerity, and to what extent is it called true sincerity. Xie Qingqiu didn't know, and Zhang Tai didn't say anything.
This answer is official and general, and it really doesn't seem like a serious answer.
Neither of them took each other's words seriously.
And then there was nothing to talk to, and in the end, Zhang Tai still didn't look down on her.
The not so short exchange had exhausted the time of the banquet, and when the two couldn't talk at all, they could already leave, and they said goodbye to each other a little perfunctorily, and left one after another.
Xie Qingqiu drove the hovercar alone and walked home again.
The main star of the night is still bustling and noisy, and the lights spread along the highway to infinity, as if it will never feel tired, stubbornly maintaining its drunken gold fan.
But the people inside often feel tired.
She bought two more cakes.
