Chapter 28: The Birthday Banquet
The next day, Miao Shuyao got up early to change her clothes, put on makeup, and simply made a look.
After all, I'm going to a party tonight, and I can't be as casual as usual.
Gan Jingling also got up early, leaned against the door, and looked at Miao Shuyao in front of the dresser, his eyes showed a touch of amazement.
Miao Shuyao noticed Gan Jingling's gaze, and turned her head suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
Gan Jingling coughed lightly and asked, "Auntie, am I going to wear a suit today?" ”
"Hmm......" Miao Shuyao thought for a while, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's better to dress casually, otherwise it will look too restrained." ”
Gan Jingling nodded approvingly: "Okay, listen to you." He walked into the cloakroom and picked out an ink-colored trench coat, which matched the color that Miao Shuyao was wearing today.
*********
Near evening, Gan Jingling and Miao Shuyao drove to Guokang Restaurant after getting off work. Guokang Restaurant is a very famous hotel in the city, and has always been famous for its high quality and low price.
"Here we are." After the car stopped, Gan Jingling took the lead in getting out of the car, opened the door for Miao Shuyao, and went to the Peony Hall under the guidance of the welcome staff in the hall.
The two arrived neither early nor late, and most of the relatives had already arrived. As soon as Miao Shuyao and Gan Jingling entered the box, someone immediately greeted her warmly: "Yo, Xiaoxiao is here!" Come and sit. ”
The person who spoke was Miao Shuyao's cousin, Miao Shuyao was generous and called people one by one, and then pulled Gan Jingling to sit on the empty seat at the round table on the left.
"This is the object of my little aunt, right? Not bad, yes, it's really a talent. The eldest aunt looked at Gan Jingling with a smile, and her words were full of appreciation.
"Jing Ling, this is the eldest aunt, and she is also the mother of today's birthday star." Miao Shuyao introduced Gan Jingling, and then turned to introduce Gan Jingling to relatives: "This is Gan Jingling, my husband." ”
"Auntie, you're wrong." Gan Jingling responded humbly.
At this time, a strange sentence suddenly came from the side: "It turns out that what the second sister-in-law said is true, I can't marry Shu Yao, but, Shu Yao, when are you going to hold a wedding?" You can't save this money! ”
This person is Miao Shuyao's third aunt, she stared at Miao Shuyao with a provocative face, and after finishing her words, she smiled "hehe", full of irony.
Miao Shuyao smiled faintly and was about to answer, but saw the box door open again, and Ms. Xu walked in elegantly and responded lukewarmly to Aunt Santang:
"The third brother and sister are wrong, my little lady wants to have good looks, and he wants to have a career, and the suitors are too many to count, of course he can find such a good son-in-law."
Ms. Xu paused, and then sneered: "As for the wedding, there is no need for the third brother and sister to care, Lao Miao and I can't treat the two children at a loss." ”
Choked by Ms. Xu, Aunt Santang laughed awkwardly a few times and didn't say anything more.
Professor Miao doesn't need to be mentioned, a university professor, and Ms. Xu founded a clothing company by herself, which is also very famous in Nancheng, and they only have a daughter under their knees, Miao Shuyao, so they will naturally give her the best everything.
At this time, Miao Junjie, the lobby brother, walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, I'll pick you up Wanwan!" ”
"Well, here, hurry up and take a seat." The eldest uncle smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and smiled at Ms. Xu and Professor Miao:
"In addition to today's eighteenth birthday banquet, I also introduce the object of Xiaoxiao to everyone by the way, which can be described as double happiness!"
"Not really." The eldest aunt chimed in.
Miao Junjie, the lobby brother, walked to Gan Jingling's side and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid, you have to take good care of our little girl in the future~ Otherwise, you will be good-looking!" ”
Gan Jingling smiled and bowed: "Brother Lobby, please rest assured, I will be good to my aunt for the rest of my life." ”
Miao Junjie, the lobby brother, laughed: "Okay!" ”
Miao Shuyao saw that Gan Jingling dealt with them properly, so she didn't pay attention to them anymore.
She smiled at Miao Shuwan beside her, took out a delicate box from the bag next to her and handed it to Miao Shuwan: "This is a birthday gift from me and your brother-in-law to you." ”
Miao Shuwan stretched out her hand to take it, and said to Miao Shuyao with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, brother-in-law." ”
She opened the box, and a string of pearl necklaces appeared in front of her, the crystal clear pearls were full and round, which was really a fine product.
"Wow, that's beautiful! Sister, you help me put it on~" Miao Shuwan raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Miao Shuyao.
"If you like it." Miao Shuyao smiled softly, took the necklace from Miao Shuwan's hand, and put it around her neck for her.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone raised their glasses and pushed the lamps, and staggered their plans.
While eating, Miao Shuwan received a text message, only to see her expression change, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Then, Miao Shuwan pulled Miao Shuyao's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, can you accompany me to the bathroom?" ”
"Okay." Miao Shuyao looked at Miao Shuwan's expression, agreed to her invitation, and left the box with her.
In the process of going to the bathroom, Miao Shuwan kept her head down and was silent, Miao Shuwan felt something strange, but Miao Shuwan didn't speak, and she didn't take the initiative to ask.
Finally, at the door of the bathroom, Miao Shuwan pursed her lips, plucked up the courage to raise her head and said to Miao Shuyao: "Sister, I don't want to go to the bathroom, can you come with me." ”
Miao Shuwan pointed to the small terrace in the corner on the left-hand side, and asked Miao Shuyao with tangled eyes.
"Let's go." Miao Shuyao smiled kindly, took Miao Shuwan's arm and walked to the small terrace.
This terrace is actually a smoking corner set up in the restaurant, but at this time it is empty, just right for talking.
"Wanwan, can you tell my sister what happened?" Miao Shuyao asked softly.
Miao Shuwan bit her lip and stopped talking.
After a long time, she seemed to have made some kind of decision, and finally spoke: "Sister, I am very confused now. ”
"You speak slowly."
"There is a new PE teacher in the class this semester, and I have a classmate with whom I have a good relationship at school, and she told me some time ago that she and the PE teacher are ...... It's a bit ambiguous. Miao Shuwan frowned and finished speaking, very entangled.
"This ......" Miao Shuyao frowned, she had also heard that in the school, there would be abnormal feelings between male teachers and students, but she didn't expect to appear next to Miao Shuwan.
Miao Shuwan's No. 8 Middle School is one of the better high schools in Nancheng, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Miao Shuwan sighed deeply: "Sister, what do you say I should do, I'm now in my third year of high school, I'm worried that this will affect my friend's learning, and the physical education teacher will often contact her, I always feel that the physical education teacher's motives are not pure......"
Miao Shuyao asked softly, "Wanwan, do you have any ideas?" ”
Miao Shuwan lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, and she muttered, "I...... I don't know, but I think that if the physical education teacher really has anything with my friend, he will definitely not give up, and if there is any scandal, my friend will be ruined. ”
Miao Shu thought for a moment and comforted: "Don't be afraid, tonight, you can attack from the side, motivate your friend to study hard with you, and tell her: If she really likes the physical education teacher, the best thing to do is not to be with him now, which will affect the other party's career." Only if she is admitted to a good university can she get everything she wants. ”
"Soon, don't worry, when your friend is admitted to college and sees a broader world, she will understand that the throbbing of youth is not worth a bright future after all."
"Thank you, sister, don't worry, I will persuade my friend well, let her persist in studying hard and fight for the college entrance examination!" Miao Shu nodded solemnly in the evening.
Miao Shuyao remembered that Lu Xiaoning was also teaching in No. 8 Middle School, maybe she could learn about the physical education teacher from her, so she asked again:
"By the way, what's the name of your gym teacher?"
"His name is Qi Bin."
Thinking of this, Miao Shuyao shook his head suddenly, maybe it was just a coincidence, there happened to be two physical education teachers surnamed Qi in the eighth middle school.
However, this matter still has to be told to Lu Xiaoning earlier, in case it is really the same person, then this Teacher Qi is not only a hypocrite who coaxes students, but also a scumbag who steps on two boats!
"Okay, I know, let's go back to dinner first, the little birthday star can't leave the table for too long."
Miao Shu smiled again in the evening, and took Miao Shuyao's hand and walked back together.
It's just that when passing by the bathroom, Miao Shuwan almost collided with a woman who came out of the bathroom-
"Oops!" Miao Shuwan exclaimed.
"Are you alright? Eh, my aunt? ”
Miao Shu heard the prestige, only to see that the woman was Avril.
"Mom, why are you here?" Miao Shuyao was surprised that the palatial hotel with the decoration of Guokang Restaurant did not look like a place that Avril would choose to step into.
Avril also looked very surprised, she looked at Miao Shuyao with a smile: "Xiaoling's father and I are having dinner here tonight, my aunt, who is this lovely little girl?" ”
"This is my cousin Miao Shuwan, and today is the birthday banquet of the evening." Miao Shuyao smiled and introduced: "Wanwan, this is my mother-in-law." ”
Miao Shuwan's pupils dilated, obviously she didn't expect that the aunt in front of her who looked so young turned out to be her brother-in-law's mother, she greeted obediently: "Hello, Auntie." ”
Ai Weirui looked at Miao Shuwan with a smile and praised appreciatively: "Hello, Wanwan looks really smart, as beautiful as your sister." "I seem to like Miao Shuwan very much.
Miao Shuwan smiled shyly, and Ai Weirui said again: "Okay, let's stop standing outside the bathroom and chatting, you can go back quickly." ”
"Mom, then we'll go first." Miao Shuyao smiled and nodded at Ai Weirui, and returned to the Peony Hall with Miao Shuwan.
