Chapter XXII
Pei Guotao's 70th birthday came as scheduled.
There are bursts of fragrance in the courtyard, Pei Guotao does not love gold and silver treasures, only loves spices, and the extremely Chinese-style courtyard is almost full of Qi Nan's submerged ornaments and pendants.
Because it was a family banquet, I didn't invite outsiders.
Pei Zhi arrived very early, but Ji Beizhou was a few minutes late, and he brought a gift, which was a very ingenious agarwood ornament, judging from the details of the carving, it should be expensive.
Pei Guotao's eyes lit up slightly, but he glanced at Pei Zhi, who was silent on the side, and finally only praised a few words.
The banquet was very quiet, that is, Ji Min asked a few words about Ji Beizhou's love life.
Ji Beizhou smiled and sandwiched a piece of tofu, it was too slippery, and the tofu was pressed into two knots by chopsticks, "I just talked about a school girl recently, a freshman, and she is quite energetic." ”
After finishing speaking, he also commented meaningfully, "This tofu is so tender." ”
Ji Min thought for a while, she has been married to the Pei family for more than 20 years, and her status is quite stable, but it is Beizhou, after all, it is a foreign surname, Pei Guotao is not stupid, and of course the last benefit will not think about Beizhou first.
However, Ji Min also thought about it, the girl who can be admitted to BGI must be smart, and her first impression is not bad, so she then asked, "What does she do at home?" How's it going? ”
"Mom, I just talked about it, I didn't ask so much," Ji Beizhou took the dishes over, "She is a little struggling in mathematics, and she only took the final high math test of 60, and I have been tutoring her well these days." ”
Ji Min put his mind at ease and didn't ask any more questions.
On the contrary, it was Pei Zhi, when he heard "60 high", his chopsticks paused slightly, and his eyes were cold for a moment.
Ji Beizhou asked as if unintentionally: "Brother, I heard from others that your girlfriend is also Huada?" What kind of major are you studying? ”
As soon as these words came out, even Pei Guotao raised his eyes.
The engagement with the dealer is all set by chatting between the elders, in case there are other circumstances, it doesn't count, it's just that the juniors are too easy to take it seriously, and Pei Guotao really wants to win over the dealer.
What's more, the rumors of Pei Zhi's indifference were too true before, and Pei Guotao was really worried and wanted to hold the engagement banquet as soon as possible, but when he heard Pei Zhi take the initiative to talk about friends, he was actually quite supportive in his heart.
"Well," Pei Zhi didn't seem to want to talk more, and only said, "Finance professional." ”
"Coincidentally, my girlfriend is also a finance major, so we won't talk about one, right?" Ji Beizhou's voice was a little flirtatious, as if he was joking.
He has never been in tune on weekdays, and no one at the table takes it seriously, only Ji Min blamed two sentences, Ji Beizhou quickly apologized, "Wrong, wrong, my little girlfriend is naughty and not well-behaved, it is said that Brother Pei's girlfriend is a graduate student?" I've heard people say before that he looks very quiet and dignified. ”
Pei Zhi lowered his eyelids and did not speak.
Well, it's very dignified, when playing in uniform, Jiang Sui did wear a hip skirt and pretend to be a tutor, and she also wore black silk with black heels, and even her glasses were black-framed.
Ji Beizhou saw that he didn't move, the tip of his tongue touched the roof of his mouth, and sneered, "Brother, when can I see my sister-in-law?" My girlfriend also wants to have a meal together. ”
Pei Zhi raised his eyelids, and his gaze was unwavering.
has always been like this, from childhood to adulthood, no matter how Ji Beizhou stimulates him, Pei Zhi will always have this cold and uninterested expression.
He has always watched the fire from the other side, even if Ji Beizhou robbed everything that originally belonged to Pei Zhi, he didn't care, and his eyes even had a little pity.
Ji Beizhou closed his eyes, opened them again, and smiled word by word: "My girlfriend's name is Jiang Sui, what is the name of my brother's girlfriend, she won't have the same name and surname, right?" ”
"Beizhou!" Ji Min shouted.
Pei Zhi put down his chopsticks at this time, did not answer this question, but got up and said lightly: "I have a date in the evening, so I lost my company first." ”
Appointment?
Ji Beizhou's face darkened.
