Pretending to be good

Xici really didn't want to have this birthday party.

The few families who came here were not very kind, and all of them had hidden knives in their smiles, obviously the people who came were not kind.

He followed behind Jiang Mingcheng, greeting people he didn't know at all.

But along the way, Xi Ci was surprised by Jiang Mingcheng.

This young man, who looked like a dandy on the surface, was able to match the names and faces of the guests one by one, and greeted them without feeling unfamiliar.

Xici laughed so hard that his face froze. After listening to a guest's praise, Jiang Mingcheng smiled slightly, and after a few words of politeness, Xici tugged at Jiang Mingcheng's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "You all know each other?"

"Know what?"

"I said today's guests."

Jiang Mingcheng was triumphant, and looked down at him, "What's so difficult about it, you underestimated me, who is the first in the college entrance examination."

Jiang Mingcheng will not tell him that in order to perform at Xici's birthday party today, he memorized the list of all the guests two days in advance, and matched them with the photos. For today, he also found Jiang Yucheng three days ago, humbly Learn the etiquette at the banquet, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be done and what should not be done, and strive to make yourself behave properly.

It would be too embarrassing and embarrassing to say these things, and it would really damage his reputation as a top student.

"Little Xixi, happy birthday!" A frivolous voice came from the gate far away, Xici knew it was Song Xiao without looking, his tone was flirtatious, and even the birthday wishes seemed insincere.

Seeing that he was wearing a suit and walking in the crowd, Xi Ci looked like a human being, hiding his harsh nature under his skin lightly, so he said, "Thank you."

Standing in front of him, Song Xiao looked Xici up and down, his eyes full of surprise, he reached out and patted Xici's head, raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said with a smile: "Eighteen, an adult."

At the moment of the word "adult", the astonishment in Song Xiao's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Xici, like looking at a polished pearl gem, full of coveted ambition.

Jiang Mingcheng frowned while watching from one side, Song Xiao's bright, naked eyes almost saw through Xici, but Xici was the only one who seemed to be okay.

"Mr. Song, hello." Jiang Mingcheng squeezed between Xi Ci and Song Xiao, took a glass of champagne from a passing attendant, handed it to him, and said with a sneer, "I'm sorry for the poor greeting, please excuse me for a moment." Rest, Xici still has something to do, see you later."

"Hey, what's the rush?" Song Xiao stopped him with one hand, and said with a smile in front of Xici, "Xici hasn't seen my gift yet."

Such nonsense is indeed Song Xiao's style. Jiang Mingcheng frowned, not as polite as before, as if protecting a cub that was being targeted by a wolf, "Song Gongzi's gift registration, Xici will read it when he has time." .”

"How impolite." Song Xiao still didn't let go, approached Xici, and said in a low voice: "Xici, after the birthday party is over, I have a baby, and I want to show you for myself."

When he said this, Song Xiao's tone was extremely ambiguous.

But Xi Ci was used to Song Xiao's gibberish, and he always wanted to take advantage of him. When his eyes wandered outwards, he saw a figure at the door and looked in.

Xici smiled slightly, bypassed Song Xiao, and walked towards the fat man.

How could Xi Ci forget Fatty at this birthday party? After the results of the college entrance examination came out, this was the first time he met Fatty.

I didn't see it clearly because I was far away, but when I got closer, Xi Ci realized that the fat man had lost weight!

The face is not as round as before. After losing a lot of weight, it looks like a deflated ball, and the outline of the facial features can already be seen.

Xi Ci stood in front of the fat man, looked him up and down for a long time, the fat man smiled and punched him, "Big birthday boy, don't you know me?".

Xi Ci staggered a step back, and then said with a smile: "Okay, fat man! Thinner!"

Before Fatty made up his mind to lose weight, he received an invitation from Xici, saying that he was invited to his birthday party.

On occasions like a birthday party, the fat man absolutely cannot return to his fat and oily image. He hired a personal trainer, formulated an exercise plan and controlled his meals, and managed to lose weight within half a month. Thirty catties.

Thirty catties is a lot for ordinary people, but for a fat man with a large base, it can only be regarded as a small step towards success.

Perhaps because he felt that the fat man did not cause much sense of crisis, Jiang Mingcheng forcibly pulled Song Xiao away.

"Xici, I haven't thanked you last time, but you helped my dad build a bridge with Mr. Jiang."

The last time I helped the fat man's father in the front line, after the two parties reached a happy cooperative relationship, Xi Ci had long since forgotten about it.

"It's okay. I didn't do anything, I just said a few words. I can't do other things well, but I can do things with words."

The fat man didn't say much, but he remembered, remembered all that Xici had done for him.

Xici leaned lazily under the corridor at the top of the stairs, watching the guests walk in in twos and threes, and took a sip of the drink in his hand.

The fat man saw his scalp numb, "Xici, this is probably not a bar..."

Xici glanced at the red drink in his hand and understood what the fat man meant, "Watermelon juice, what are you thinking about?"

"It scared me to death. Now I'm scared when I see you drinking this kind of drink." The fat man felt terrified. "Drink it twice, and you both..."

Xi Ci squinted at him, and asked him with squinted eyes, "Last time at the seaside resort, you should have been there too, what happened when I got drunk?"

"You were drunk that day..."

"Wait," Xi Ci pondered for a while, and added, "If I'm drunk or look stupid and stupid, you'd better stop talking, I don't want to know."

"It was nothing at the time, I just vomited, and even vomited on someone."

"Spit on someone? Who?"

Mentioning this, the fat man laughed exaggeratedly, "Brother who spit you, I don't remember the name of another one, especially that Song Xiao, you spit it until his face turned pale."

Xici didn't have much memory of this matter, in fact, it happened after he was drunk, he had no memory at all.

Two or three more people came in the hall, Xi Ci noticed the man with his eyes and stretched his neck to look at him.

Following Xi Ci's gaze, the fat man pursed his lips, "Here, that's the man."

It's him?

Yuan Shen looked over the figures, and finally fixed on Xi Ci, without saying anything, just smiled at him from afar.

Xici was about to walk towards him when Yuan Shen suddenly said a few words to the man beside him, the man heard the words and looked towards Xici.

When the four eyes met, Xici's pupils froze suddenly, his heart beat faster, he subconsciously staggered a few steps backwards, and turned sideways, as if he wanted to stay away from the man's sight.

Xi Ci's mind was briefly confused.

Waking up in the next second.

Huo Chengyu? !

Didn't he return to China at this time in his last life?Why are you back home now?

Is it because of yourself?

In his previous life, Jiang Yucheng died. He hadn't seen Gu Youchen in prison, and he hadn't seen Gu Nange after returning to China. After the college entrance examination, he went abroad.

But in this life, since he rescued Jiang Yucheng, it seemed that all the trajectory of his life had changed accordingly.

So Huo Chengyu's return to China in this life was the result of his own butterfly effect?

Xi Ci looked sideways in Yuan Shen's direction, and unexpectedly found that Huo Chengyu and Yuan Shen were walking towards him.

boom--

bang bang bang-

The heartbeat missed half a beat, and then the rapid heartbeat exploded in my ears.

Xici watched the two of them helplessly, the passing figures turned into illusory images, and the noisy sounds around them instantly turned into mixed white noise.

Seeing Xi Ci's distraught appearance, the fat man glanced at Yuan Shen's direction, and then at him again, "Xi Ci, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Ci couldn't even hear his own voice clearly, and his tone was flimsy, "No, nothing."

As soon as the words were finished, Jiang Chenhe, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came down from the second floor, wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding Yuan Jiao who was wearing a white floor-length skirt by his arm.

At this moment, Huo Chengyu and Yuan Shen stopped and looked at Jiang Chenhe and Yuan Jiao.

"I'm very glad that you can come to Jiang's house to attend Xici's birthday party." Jiang Chenhe looked at Xici, who was on the side, "Xici, you have grown up. Uncle wishes you health and happiness, and wishes you happiness from now on. All wishes come true."

The gazes all around were not the source of Xi Ci's chills, but the man named Huo Chengyu not far away.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

After Jiang Chenhe finished speaking, he looked back and held Yuan Jiao's hand, "There is one more thing I would like to invite everyone present to be a witness." After speaking, Jiang Mingcheng took out a diamond ring and said, "I want to give a ring to my side. woman, my wife Yuan Jiao, a wedding, a home."

As soon as the words were finished, a deep voice came from a corner on one side of the hall, as if it had been patient for a long time.

"I don't know if Mr. Jiang understands the crime of bigamy?"

The voice was low, but extremely penetrating. With just one sentence, everyone present followed the voice to find someone.

It was only then that Xici noticed that Gu Youchen was standing in the shadow not far from him.

And he never found out!

Xici murmured, "Dad..."

Jiang Chenhe looked at the man in the shadow who couldn't see his face clearly, and asked uncertainly: "Who are you?"

Holding the empty wine glass in his hand, Gu Youchen walked out of the shadows, raised his eyes to look at Yuan Jiao, and said calmly, "I am the husband of Ms. Yuan beside you. My surname is Gu."

husband?

Yuan Jiao has been in Haibin for so many years, knowing that she is divorced and has a child, but no one has ever known who the child's biological father is.

The people present whispered to each other.

And Gu Youchen's words obviously not only made Jiang's family unable to step down, but even Yuan Jiao couldn't step down.

Yuan Jiao responded indifferently, "Mr. Gu, you and I have already signed a divorce agreement. I don't think there is any agreement between us."

Hearing this, Gu Youchen walked towards Yuan Jiao's direction step by step, his steps were easy, and he was still able to do a job well under the gaze of countless eyes.

"Eight years ago, the divorce agreement was fake."
